Buhari whose twin campaign sloganeering messages have been that he will fight corruption and end Boko Haram has consistently denied that Abacha stole Nigeria’s money. According to him, Abacha neither stole nor looted the country’s treasury. He 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”. This was despite the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars had in well publicised reports been returned to Nigeria as part of the Abacha loot. Now that Switzerland is set to return another tranche of $380m, does Buhari still stand by his statement that the allegations or accusations against Abacha are “baseless” and not supported by “facts”? Here are three countries that have returned money stolen by Abacha to Nigeria.

Switzerland: Switzerland had earlier returned more than $700m that the late Abacha hid in Swiss accounts and is now set to return another $380 million stolen by the dictator.

Liechtenstein: The Government of the Principality of Liechtenstein returned $227m stolen by Abacha in 2014.

Channels Island: The State of Jersey in the Channels Island is set to return £315 million (N90,040,634,775.00) to Nigeria as part of funds recovered from the late dictator, Sani Abacha. The Island had earlier returned the sum of £140m (N40,018,059,900.00) to Nigeria in two batches. But the man who has been rebranded as the face of change; the man “destined” to save Nigeria and fight corruption denies it ever happened in the face of overwhelming evidence - and stated sternly that - Abacha never stole Nigeria’s money.

This is why I say this man is a big fraud
The same way he threw southerners in prison and let this own people free
Is there any eediot that didn't know or acknowledge abacha robbed Nigeria blind besides Buhari
Obviously abacha gave him some
What other reason could it be
This is the man that will bring change?
Change indeed

He is running around with thiefnooboo and idolizing abacha
And that is called change in Nigeria
Now you know why he dodged all the debates
Besides his invisible certificate,this topic would have also come up

How much does he pay for his daughter's tuition in UK?
How much did his wife spend on drug for Yobe state?
Where did the money for 2011 election and others came from...
You better have a point or mute you fingers please.
Who does he think he is telling; infants?

And where is the money for this campaign coming from?

you mean if GMB is actually corrupt, you would still vote him? This isn't good enough bro.

Did the article say Buhari stole? Did the cooked up, mind-targeted, propaganda article give any evidence linking Buhari to any stealing?
Is Buhari Abacha?

Oga, with the desperation of these theives called PDP, if Buhari ever stole, they would have published it, or released a video of it for all Nigerians to see these past weeks before today.

We, Nigerians are intelligent and we are clearly seeinag the Desperation of the Ruling party, which says a lot about them.

I forsee a lot of axtors in this present government, leaving Nigeria these following weeks.

Op if such huge amount of money was actually returned. How has it helped Nigeria. Nigeria even wants to borrow money from world bank forgetting that he who goes aborrowing comes asorrrowing.

No constant power supply.
No employment opportunity.
Infact go and return the money Tan paid you cos you just failed.

Jeg said stealing is not corruption. It was before his very eyes that Nigerian youths were scammed in the immigration heist. Some lost their lives and what did he do! Abba Moro roams free. $20 million disappeared under his administration.
Re: Switzerland, Buhari And Abacha Loot - Thisday Newspaper Article by Ujupsy: 5:30am On Mar 28, 2015
The abacha loot is a sign of greed,the kind of millions amass in dollar is enough to put the country in a better place in rating world economy
if this is not stealing then buhari will do worst and call it investment
we need people like ya r adua and gej

Some people speak in riddles. Buhari might be one. Perhaps he means that if you compare others loot with Abacha you will conclude that Abacha never looted.

You see how brain washed u are. My annoyance is that some educated people think buhari has integrity when history remain pregnant of corrupt actions made by buhari. I weep for those chanting change.

Abacha never looted anything compared to PDP , even the recovered loot from Abacha was looted again by PDP.

We need change now! and I am going out in the next 30 minutes to vote for Buhari/ Osinbajo, to vote for change.

When a lazy and lousy Nigeria talk we will know. No constant power supply as if ur previous leaders made an attempt to give u one. Gej privatized it so that with time the market forces of DD and SS will determine price and u are hear speaking trash.
You think govt can employ everybody. Keep waiting.
Nobody is asking their local and state governors what they are doing with their allocation.
When will some Nigerians be rational in their thought?

Buhari's issue with Umaru Dikko was personal vendetta and had nothing to do with Buhari being n upright person. I hope you have not forgotten about the 53 suitcases, or may be you were just a toddler then or had not been born. We who witnessed all these know better, and fortunately, majority of the voting population know better, GEJ all the way.

"By shaka", hmmm Op u sure say the name no be "shekau" them just modify am. All this PDP trying so hard to destroy the image of Buhari and look at another pig here, that's the best he can found to criticise buhari with. That he does not ask for forgiveness of his past actions and that he (buhari) is denying someone is a looter not that buhari a looter himself. Mtcheewww........ I dey even waste my time to reply this nonsense article.
Re: Switzerland, Buhari And Abacha Loot - Thisday Newspaper Article by symbianDON(m): 6:53am On Mar 28, 2015
the question is this: let's, under assumption, agree that buhari is corrupt....is Jonathan a saint? I bet that Jonathan is by far more corrupt than buhari and that tells why he lacks the moral justification and will power to fight corruption.

do you think that magic will happen so that the God chosen may win? Its your duty to identify the God chosen and then vote for him, else, you may end up accusing God of choosing a wicked person for Nigeria.

Make your decision now and stay away from the sideline.

Its shows you are not a jonalist with what you wrote more so, he has acted in line with what was obtainable during military rule. Less I forget what has he stolen that u can't point same fingers on each top leaders of this country?.

Do u know how many abacha killed or Babangida. U are talking about jail only? Your write up may seem true but its an accusational write up and a journalist don't do that

You are a ba$tard if u beleive this. Why is this just coming out. A last minute idea to vilify the General right?? Thunder fire all of u. I just wonder how a Nigerian can be blind to the fact that jonathan is the worst evil that ever happened to Nigeria. I am sure most of these bastards abusing GMB are all suffering with 100k in their accounts if they are lucky an amount not up to 500$. And u still shout GEaj toll 2019. Wait if GEJ wins which by God's grace will never happen ur present 500$ will become 100$. M0rons.

It's a very big lie and I doubt that bro.
Though GEJ hasn't been up and doing in fighting corruption but he plans and government has more vision especially in local industrialisation, agriculture, transportation etc...
Let's give him kudos where he thrives and thumb down in his ills.
I argue constructively and only God knows who will win, our various choices might not be the best but everyone is unique in some aspect...
I doubt the integrity of a man in the mist of robbers calling others thieves...


LOL! I've made my point Sir!! Vote with your head and not only your heart!! It was nice discussing with u!! the 1st time I'll have a mature insultless discussion with a GEJ supporter on NL!! May God help Nigeria conduct a free, fair, credible and violence-free elections!! Change is coming!
