So all those abacha looted funds repatriated back to nigeria with the help of those foreign govts were just cinderella stories ,abi? I have always told people buhari extremely confused and extra ordinarily clueless about anything in and about governance.
Imagine a so called incorruptible saint saying Abacha was not corrupt huh If he wasn't corrupt, then were did all the repatriated loots of Abacha came from? Donation from his family? What a classic Hypocrite. Very easy for him to accuse GEJ's administration of corruption and embezzlement yet difficult for him to admit that Abacha's regime was corrupt.
Now we can see why Buhari was selective during he's so called fight against corruption as a military dictator. He selectively jailed individuals he regarded as "Enemies" of imaginary corruption and looked the other way when he's friends and family members were involved.
Well, I always knew him to be totally corrupt himself. All this acts, of claiming poor and begging for loans from banks is nothing but a ruse. Buhari is not POOR as he wants people to believe. [color=#000000]After all, birds of the same feathers (Buhari and Abacha) stroll together.[/color] I won't be surprise to hear pa Buhari say IBB and Tinubu are not corrupt next year.

According to the report:
"Buhari, in his own comments yesterday, described the allegations of looting against Abacha as "baseless", because according to him, "ten years after Abacha, those allegations remain unproven because of lack of facts".

Was abacha convicted in the court of law? Does he have opportunity to defend those allegation?
If we can not answer these questions with evidence then we can not conclude that He looted.

GMB was crystal clear that you can't accuse someone of being corrupt without going to court or a court of competent jurisdiction declare him so.

@OP don't you find it ironic and hypocritical that you put up a personal opinion of GMB and wish to taint his prestige but ignorantly forget that your most loved and corruption personified president directed the EFCC to drop all charges against mohammed abacha despite the US freezing 500m$ assets linked to him as proceeds of corruption but your messiah from otueke gave up assets of over 40billion naira belonging to NIGERIA as long as mohammed Abacha use the stolen money to deliver the vote of kano state for the PDP in 2015.

Amongst the two, one who only express a proper judicial statement that someone can only be declared as corrupt if a court so declares and your celebrated HERO who directed that a probe and court case be discontinued for his own political gains.

GMB denied mohammed abacha the CPC flag in Kano state in 2011 because of the huge corruption and money laundering charges against him but your GEJ let him off the hook of justice. Don't you think GEJ should face justice for that clear economic sabotage of the country.

GeJ has turn this country to a joke
Bros why all this long story. Your statement says something different from the story. Buhari did not mention anything related to court here.

So why can't Buhari wait till he can charge GEJ to court and find him guilty before declaring him and his governement corrupt?

Read d article below & c my problem with the way our people mis inform d populace. The FG explained time & time again that Moh'd Abacha was not d offender but his dad - Sanni
FG dropped d charges when Moh'd agreed to willingly refund d money, d litigation would have costed d country over $200m
For your info, they didn't just drop d case, they settled out of court.

Buhari made mere statement which can be contested, but jona only make it legal with every action that sani Abacha is not corrupt
bros see eh, in saner clines people say/do things wrong, when they're being truthfully by people including those that love them, they apologise and change life goes on.
I've been watching as u twist this glaring fact all these while. Our attitudes(helping them to manipulate their wrong deeds) is what makes these political criminals to continue in impunity. To the best of my knowledge things similar to plea bargains or such have been entered with the abacha's to help recover the funds (it only means he's not being pronounced a thief in legal stance, 'cos if he's alive it would've been a different ball game).
Then with the new wave of defense we see, should buhari be elected tomorrow hope he'll be criticized for us to get better governance or his wrongs won't be wron-doing. As gej is being criticized in his wrongs from north to south, let there be stand in unism to do that to all, so we can achieve good governance for our country. Thank you
God bless nigeria
Re: "Abacha Never Stole" Says Buhari As Published 2008 By Thisday Newspaper by EdwinOse: 6:02pm On Dec 27, 2014
General Buhari keeps showing how old his brain really is. With international monetary agencies and government returning Abacha's loots to Nigeria, he still says Abacha needed looted.

Dear sir, you have no moral reason to enter Aso Rock .

Of course, Abacha stole. The General was only being courteous and diplomatic since it was Abacha's remembrance. I believe in his heart of hearts he knew Abacha indeed stole aplenty.

Bastard. You are busy abusing peoples' fathers and mothers for daring to ask you to prove the allegation of corruption been labelled by you and your terrorist mentor Buhari. Agreed the president is covered by immunity, what stops Buhari and his satanic APC from writing petition to EFCC or ICPC and use same to initiate impeachment against the president if they are so sure of themselves? Were you deaf or dumb when a Senate committee made up of APC and PDP members came out with a report that refutes the phatom $20 "missing" NNPC money? How reliable was Sanusi for fiddling with $48billion and then $20billion figures? Animal like you and your APC mentors will perish in mischief and sycophancy. Idiot.

Read again and see that the curse of stupidity placed on you and your forefathers still have no cure yet.

If your father was able ti pay the little sum of money to educate you, you would have realize he got a worthy insult for throwing an insult first.

I dont relate with dullards and no hopers, you smack of the malaise that have bedevil your lineage from generation if not you won't be asking APC to initiate charges at EFCC and ICPC to impeach the da.ft one.

Did you read before posting at all? Don't you think you ought to seek divine intervention in your case so the curse of stupidity ends with you?

You have inadvertently, and ironically, admitted by your post that indeed Gen Abacha looted untold amounts from Nigerian treasury using his children and surrogates. Regardless of whether Buhari exonerated him or not. Truth indeed is a sacrosanct. But wait a minute, during his regime as Head of State, why was Buhari not as gracious to extend same innocent-until-proven-guilty dogma to Lateef Jakande and Pa Adejunle Ajasin, two very upright and honest politicians in the progressive fold, who never stole a dime. Why did he railroad them to jail without court trial. Another classic Buhari method of separate corruption yardsticks for separate individuals, depending on where you come from.

You are not being truthful by saying that GEJ govt, and by extension OBJ's govt gave up N40b. Not sure you even have the full facts and figures. Because these funds were salted away mostly in Swiss, Austrian and Liechtenstein banks. If you have been following the news, these countires have been returning what came to be known as "the Abacha loot". Do a simple google search, get the truth and shame the devil.

Mohammed Abacha nolle prosequoi was diligent and deliberately executed deal to recover the Abacha looted funds, rather waste government money in a web of long-drawn legal battle in foreign law courts. It was a process started during OBJ's tenure. GEJ govt simply concluded those deals. Go and ask Oby Ezewkesili, El-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu. Ribadu himself has said a lot about this looted funds recovery process. They originated it.

I agree with you but the problem is that if we do not kick out this clueless inept fellow presently at the top, we will be rewarding failure and a repeat of this will take us to depths unimagined. If apc see us refuse to reward failure, they will sit up when they arrive at the seating power.

BEFORE I CAN SUPPORT BUHARI, !
Before I can consider joining the BB Train. Below
are my concerns:
I thought it was the rot of the SHAGARI
Government, then followed by the decay of the
Military ERA and climaxing with the STENCH of the
ABACHA Government (of which GENERAL BUHARI
WAS PART AND PARCEL) that 'brought Nigeria to a
dangerous and sorry state, a state that life has
become short and brutal', and from which it has
still not recovered since then. PLEASE CHECK
YOUR HISTORY AND YOUR FACTS!
The often MOUTHED BUHARI ERA and REGIME (of
NEARLY 30 YEARS AGO) used as a reference point
by his 'admirers' and apologists, was marked by
BRUTE FORCE, LACK OF VISION, LACK OF
POLITICAL IDEOLOGY AND AGENDA AND ANY
ECONOMIC POLICY, BUT FOUNDED ON GRA-GRA.
In fact, the ONLY ECONOMIC policy that I can still
remember and associate his regime with was the
era of ESSENTIAL COMMODITY (ESSENCO), where
people were being BULLIED, WHIPPED AND
FORCED TO SELL THEIR OWN wares and goods
(NOT GOVERNMENT OWNED) BY FORCE.
BUHARI SHUT DOWN NEWSPAPER HOUSES AND
HARASSED JOURNALISTS AND THREW THEM IN
GULLAGS OR SENT THEM TO GALLOWS.
BUHARI'S GALLOWS OR GULAGS, UNDER THE SSS
(OR NSO) WERE NOT FIT FOR HUMANS. And this
contributed largely to the DEATH of some of those
that were SELECTIVELY and UNLAWFULLY
DETAINED there. PLAIN MURDER.
BUHARI passed OBNOXIOUS LAWS, including
RETROSPECTIVE LAWS and MURDERED
INDIVIDUALS, SIMPLY FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING.
BUHARI ABUSED THE DIGNITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL
and CRATED HIM like a CHICKEN, while
attempting to UNLAWFULLY EXPORT HIM OUT OF
THE UK, IN GROSS ABUSE OF THE PERSON'S
DIGNITY, AND IN CONTRAVENTION OF
INTERNATIONAL LAWS.
BUHARI WATCHED ABIOLA JAILED AND DIE IN
JAIL in the HANDS of ABACHA, while he watched
and carried on BUSINESS AS USUAL SERVING AND
WORKING FOR THE SAME ABACHA'S
GOVERNMENT.
BUHARI WATCHED ON AND WATCHED JUNE 12
DIE IN THE HANDS OF ABACHA.
BUHARI also WATCHED KEN SAROWIWA
MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD BY THE SAME
ABACHA GOVERNMENT, while HE (BUHARI)
WATCHED ON and carried on BUSINESS AS USUAL.
AS ALWAYS, AND CONVENIENTLY, BUHARI SAW
NO EVIL AND HEARD NO EVIL ABOUT THOSE
ATROCITIES.
HE SAW NO EVIL AND HEARD NO EVIL EVEN
WHEN LATE PRESIDENT YARADUA LEFT NIGERIA
IN AUTO PILOT STATE AND 'RULED' FROM THE
'GRAVE' (a la ANDOAKAH)
NEED I SAY MORE? NEED I CONTINUE AND
REMIND YOU WHY BUHARI IS NOT FIT OR
QUALIFIED TO BE ANYWHERE ELSE THAN AT THE
HAGUE AND ANSWERING TO HIS CRIMES AGAINST
HUMANITY?---karlmax2
You don't need to say more except for two important things. 1) Buhari destroyed democracy and Democratic iinstitutions and today he want to use that which he destroyed to sit in aso rock. 2) Buhari made it clear that the fight against boko haram is a fight against north.
