So because he awarded contracts to a company, the federal government decides to accuse him of corruption by suggesting the company is owned by "an associate"!?

This is coning from a government riddled with ethnic and religious associates, whose stock in trade since 2023 is to concentrate contracts and projects in their South West region through their "associates"!?

Well, I trust Ngige. He is a tough nut. You guys are lucky his not that commanding with his politics in the national level. Dude is not easily bullied and is well capable of staring down any tribalist pretending to be fighting corruption..

Tinubu seem to be angry with him after he confronted Senator Smart Adeyemi over his association with Tinubu during his reconfirmation hearing or so , under Buharis regime
So because the man is Igbo, he shouldn't be investigated?

Bros eeehhhh!

So that's the crime? So saving money for his state is now a crime? Even Tinubu didn't see any anything to accuse Peter Obi of except saving money.

Place Peter side by side your god and call result bros. Abeg go find food chop
oga it's a very big crime.. It's called conflict of interest... Admitting to that alone will earn him nothing less than 10 yrs in prison in d UK and US.... Death sentence if na China

Some useless persons here are already trying to play the ethnic card, simply because the guy is igbo.
When Malami was arrested and detained, the same miscreants hailed the efcc for doing a good job.
Very stupid fellows!

Everyone of them must pay for their loots. Despite this happened 3 or 4 days ago he even stay over night at EFCC yard which we knew already none of them will go free.

We are closing in on El Rufai and David Mark. They think they can loot and escaped? No this is not Buhari era.

Which kind nonsense daylight witch hunting is this. The case is not that he stole any money but that the company that executed the contracted are linked to his friends, like what? what criteria justifies that when you are in government your friends should stop their business, what criteria qualifies someone as friend. Meanwhile Tinubu is awarding the biggest project in Nigeria the coastal road to his lifetime friend to a company, his own son is a major shareholder.

That is all Nigerians governments do, award contracts. No governance, no development, no interest in what will prosper the general citizens, no.

Theirs is to pay tax, ours is to spend it on family and friends. Even the people are hoodwinked into thinking the quality of any government related to the number of 'projects' it commissions.

And they sing to one Mr Project or the other while their standards of living tanks like the Titanic.

Good job. But I believe judge will release him which is the nigeria problem. And many are criticising ASUU, where as these people are embezzling in billions.
I don't get. What are his offense here if I may ask. Are those companies qualified and was due process followed?

Can you imagine this.
So the words nepotism, cronyism and corruption should be removed from the English language because of Ngige and his friends.

I will also say, for this to be right it means when a person is elected or appointed into government everyone else apart from his family and friends should go out of business, abi.

Yes, the Chagoury/Coastal road caper is totally wrong and I have said it many, many times. That Nigerians will continue to suffer until they wake up and own this democracy, wake up and build the institutions which underpin this democracy by expunging the feudal mental state of mind holding them captive to moneymen.

If institutions worked properly Mr. Tinubu will not dare do that and certainly not Mr Ngige.

So let us get angry enough at this apparent goose and gander, Bulus and Bala conundrum and start advocating for proper justice. Not the spiral of using one to excuse the other. We will never make progress that way.

This man dealt a terrible blow on Nigerian University students and their parents who work in the unis. This man sent many families begging. We practically had to contribute money for a neighbour who is a lecturer just to buy food for his family. It was so embarrassing. I was even ashamed for the man, because we noticed that from morning to evening, all of them were just inside the house. no sound, no noise, no sign or humans until we decided to find out what was happening.

If they should bring this Ngige man on the street and ask every lecturer or university workers or even the student to flog him, just the first 10 can flog and kpai this man. YET, THEY WERE STEALING IN BILLIONS. Buhari's government was the worst thing that has ever happened to Nigeria. Nigerians were terrorised on every side. And ASUU keeps complaining that this country has enough money to fund tertiary education and make the universities work, but corruption won't allow. Talk of corruption, the ASUU also plays a role because even some Vice Chancellors are very corrupt and these are ASUU members too. The level of corruption in this country is such that one way or the other, 99% are guilty. But official corruption by these men in authority is mind-boggling.

This is something all Ministers have been and will always be guilty of. It's more of political witch hunting and scapegoating than fight against corruption.
Corruption practices should be protected, but this should be across board and not targeted.
Is it a coincidence that Ngige was suddenly arrested days after publicly associating with Peter Obi or Malami's prosecution for being an ADC member
