This goes to show that politicians don't send suffering Nigerians. More than 90% of inmates at the correctional centers are awaiting trails, some were just pushed there without any reason.
But hey, wining elections is a paramount thing and oga wan settle his boys.

Pardon ex-convicts. Pardon terrorists and negotiate with bandits. That's where we have found ourselves today as a nation.

He fell because he was a hypocrite and a pretender....but to be fair, they all are.....which ultimately means he fell because he was caught.

Anyway you are right though, with the way he was going at that time it looked like he was destined to become speaker or even a minister.

I am surprised you didn't welcome this for one of your former shining lights.....or does it only make sense if the pardon had come from a Northerner?

Didn't tinubu and his APC use this thief to campaign in 2014. Sadly it was politics. They called out gej for farouk's corruption but today that corrupt fellow is on their fold.

This is where you and Tinubu get it wrong. Pardoning indicted and convicted Northern criminals will not endear him to the hearts of Northerners. That is not the way of the North. Even the so-called "peace deal" with bandits is unpopular in the North because it's temporary, but the people have no choice because the security agents seem incapable of protecting them.

You will just open mouth waaa dey talk, more ordinary Nigerians, activists, political prisoners were even pardoned than the politicians.

Like Buhari pardoned two ex convicts of Jos and Plateau former Governors and hypocrites like this one here were among those shouting sai baba to him after pardoning them. And your tingod Elrufai paying off bandits, Gumi, Northern Governors taking pictures with them.
Guy, the fart is smelling off your body but you think it is strangers that will help you solve your self inflicted problem.. you go wait tire.

Keep deceiving yourselves, keep shouting " north" upandan as if anyone from the north can get to power without alliance with another region.. dey whine yourself, Tinubu wants to endear himself to the north my foot as if it was only northerners that were pardoned.
And if peace deal was unpopular in the north, is it southern Governors that are negotiating with the bandits? Or was it a southern community that was conferring chieftancy title on Bello Turji?. Dude, you better be sincere with yourself. 15 years, una still dey pamper terrorism and you are here deceiving yourself. A problem that Buhari could not solve in his eight years but got even worse. GEJ said he thought if Buhari took over power, they will lay down their guns and embrace peace since they nominated him for negotiation, but unfortunately it got worse.

You always had a choice.

First of all, stop having children you cannot take care of. Even the Arabs with their relative wealth, do not have wives and children they cannot take care of (unless Yemen has now become the perfect example of a muslim dominated state).

Next, if your leaders cannot control themselves and continue to steal our commonwealth more than any other part of the country, they should learn to share properly, or better yet create wealth (like Dangote), or do they intend to bury themselves with all the loot they have taken?

Thirdly, emphasise education, education , education like Emir Sanusi keeps telling you....Nigeria's population means this country will always be competitive and we will never be able to go back to the days where the state or a traditional body can take care for everyone. Your people must be ready to compete with the rest of the world and stop shoving quota system down our throats while holding us back in NIgeria

Lastly, charity begins at home. These terrorists are known to you and to you alone. One thing I respect about the East is they use their full chest claim their IPOB problem...they are not pretending like those people are unknown to them.

Your people are blaming everyone but yourselves for Boko Haram. Even the foreign element inside it, your people have lived with them and known them for centuries. Till now you refuse to close your borders, even temporarily!

Own your insurgency (which is what your problem is), and deal with it in your local way...instead of blaming your minority Christians, Nigeria and even faraway Israel,USA and Palestine, where nobody knows you people.

Otedola really dealt with this man..

He was a rising politician, prancing around as and an 'anti-corruption crusader and Mr integrity' in the house of rep. But was caught on recorded tapes negotiating for Otedola's dollars in exchange for political favours, and his political doom began.

Now that Akpabio (The Okotie-Eboh of our time) and Tinubu have banned secret recording during personal conversation, I wonder if we can still catch thieves like this.

Akpabio...you have done very well to 'protect' criminals by passing that law. 👍👍

Posterity lies in wait for you..

Yes he is

Only the fugitive Kanu will spend 8 rock solid years of Bola Tinubu administration in jail with hard labour even with or without conviction.

But of course you are free to nak your head 4 ground. No one send who bon u.
