Former Commonwealth Secretary, Begs President Buhari Not To Probe Jonathan by toluene2016(op): 9:20am On Jul 16, 2015
A panic-stricken former President Goodluck Jonathan
has sent former Commonwealth Secretary General,
Emeka Anyaoku, to plead with President Muhammadu
Buhari not to launch an official probe of his
administration.

Several sources in Abuja, including aides of President
Buhari, briefed SaharaReporters exclusively about
former President Jonathan’s dispatch of Mr. Anyaoku
as an emissary to his successor.

One of our sources said Mr. Jonathan moved quickly
to send powerful intercessors to the Presidency after
the Buhari administration began to question massive
last-minute withdrawals and disappearance of more
than $20 billion in government funds orchestrated by
former President Jonathan as well as his closest
ministers and aides.

One source familiar with Mr. Anyaoku’s desperate
mission to President Buhari revealed that the former
Commonwealth chief executive urged the new
president to remember that Mr. Jonathan voluntarily
decided not to contest the results of the March 28,
2015 presidential election, won by Mr. Buhari, on the
understanding that he and his administration would not
be subjected to a probe.

Our sources disclosed that Mr. Anyaoku spent a little
more than two hours in a close-door meeting yesterday
where he sought to prevail on President Buhari to halt
the ongoing probe of what happened to billions of
public funds during the last few months of the
Jonathan government.

Before imploring Mr. Anyaoku to plead with President
Buhari, Mr. Jonathan had also asked former military
head of state, Abdulsalam Abubakar, to speak to the
current president and suggest a suspension of all
ongoing probes. Mr. Buhari has put in place several
investigative committees to probe the illicit withdrawal
and disbursement of public funds by the Jonathan
administration. The presidential committees are
charged with advising the administration on strategies
for retrieving any public assets stolen by officials and
cohorts of the Jonathan Presidency.

One of the committees has already discovered that
Mr. Jonathan and some members of his cabinet
apparently colluded in the dying days of the previous
government to loot billions of dollars. The funds were
looted via the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the Ministry
of Finance, the Nigerian Maritime Authority, the
Federal Capital Territory, and several other
departments. A source within the investigative
committee revealed that Mr. Jonathan and his closest
aides and political appointees made illegal withdrawals
of funds to finance his failed bid for re-election.
Former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has
stated that former President Jonathan asked her to
withdraw more than $1.2 billion from the excess crude
account. Even though Mrs. Okonji-Iweala continues to
maintain publicly that she did nothing wrong during her
tenure, a source told SaharaReporters that the former
minister, who coordinated economic affairs during the
former president’s tenure, has been quietly cooperative
with the Buhari administration. According to the
source, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala has offered what amounts
to a dossier of corrupt deals authorized by the former
president.

In an attempt to curry favor with the new government,
Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala recently directed officials of her
polling agency, NOI Polls, to give President Buhari a
70% approval rating among Nigerians. “The polling
results were simply cooked up,” a professional pollster
told SaharaReporters. Prior to the 2015 general
elections, the former minister’s fake polling
organization kept repeating that Mr. Jonathan approval
rating was up even as his political fortune
plummeted.

SaharaReporters also learned that former Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, is also
actively cooperating with the Buhari administration. As
earlier revealed by us, Mrs. Alison-Madueke had struck
a deal with the new government to submit a document
to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) exposing her collaborators at the NNPC. The
former Petroleum minister, who was one of the closest
cabinet members to Mr. Jonathan—and the
mastermind of numerous money laundering deals on
behalf of the former president—currently shuttles
between the UK and Switzerland. A source close to
Mrs. Alison-Madueke said the former minister was
receiving treatment in the UK related to breast
cancer.

After emerging from his marathon meeting with Mr.
Buhari yesterday, Mr. Anyaoku claimed that he had
visited to offer “advice” to the president regarding his
forthcoming official trip to the US. Mr. Buhari is
scheduled to start his US trip on Sunday.
A source at the Presidency told SaharaReporters that
Mr. Anyaoku had misrepresented the purpose of his
visit. “The elder statesman [Anyaoku] did not come to
advise Mr. President about the trip to the US. The
plans for the trip were already concluded a while ago,
with all logistics and programming support,” the source
added.

Former President Jonathan is currently in Abuja where
he remains in constant touch with Abdulsalam
Abubakar and other political players to prevail on
President Buhari to halt the probe of his
administration.

One source at the Presidency revealed that Mr. Buhari
was not receptive to Mr. Anyaoku’s pleas. According
to the source, the president told the former
Commonwealth chief executive that [b]the massive theft
of funds by officials of the previous administration had
robbed him of funds to start meeting his promises to
the Nigerian people.[b/] “The president’s concern is for
everybody who stole funds, including the former
president, to disclose their willingness to return their
loot to the Nigerian people,” the source added.

LWTMB! But TANoids/Wailers want us to believe that Jona didn't steal.

Should PMB fail to retrieve a large chunk of our stolen money from Jonathan and his fellow thieves, he will lose greater part of the goodwill he currently enjoys.


“The president’s concern is for everybody who stole funds, including the former president, to disclose their willingness to return their loot to the Nigerian people,”
What is difficult in what the president is asking for? Make known your willingness to return our stolen monies, return substantial amount and you will be left alone.

Maka Why?

While Jonathan is guided by his Goat and Yam theory of Looting, President Buhari is guided by the Rule of Law and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If the Zoologist has not dipped his hands in Nigeria's Pot of Soup, he has nothing to fear and definitely has no need to send mercenaries to intercede on his behave.

How to spot propaganda from APC powered Sahara Reporters, please always pay attention to the emboldened.
Several sources in Abuja, including aides of President Buhari, briefed SaharaReporters exclusively about former President Jonathan’s dispatch of Mr. Anyaoku as an emissary to his successor.
The so-called Sources are Alhaji Lai Muhammed, Bola Tinubu, Shehu Garba and other APC Chieftains that seek to publish and spew thrash thrash such as this, a creation of their own imagination. This report by Sahara Reporters is an exhibition of sheer idiocity and foolery in their bid to continue to deceive Nigerians. My joy is that Nigerians are wise and now see these deceivers for who they are.

GEJ is afraid of no probe!

LWMMSGEJ. I will be disappointed if Buhari doesn't prosecute Jonathan. I can't imagine the clueless drunk giving Buhari the impression that he didn't challenge his victory because he wants him not to try him.

Every comment you make lends further credence to the assertion that you have the I.Q of a bedbug.

What silly sources are being referred to? You make the Abuja sources who make a claim one minute then debunk the next?

The same "sources" falsely informed them that Jonathan's son was dead.

Like the wounds inflicted on you by your slave masters quietly like an obedient dog.

Will be unfair to single out Jonathan what about all the wasted military rule that sank Nigeria and led us to the state in which this country is currently at....Obasanjo's democratic rule was not any better. Will be a pure witch-hunt to do that. Rubbish!

Please stop making a foo.l of yourself.

Are you the one to speak for Jonathan?

It is evident to even a fool that Jonathan and his co-travellers looted our treasury significantly.

It is evident to anyone that he will of course be worries about being probed and humiliated.

Ngozi Iweala after been publicly queried about 2.1 billion dollars depletion of the Exess Crude Account, finally said: Jonathan told me to withdraw it. She has shifted the responsibility to Jonathan.

It is obvious that a follow up on the matter will indict the former president. And that is just one case among several. The NLNG account is still there as well as numerous others.

So when you make statement like above, it really rubbishes your integrity and says aloud your brilliance/intelligence is primarily used for cunning and not wisdom.
