Chairman of the Association!
Stop giving ursef sleepless night over how Buhari want to deal with Jonathan. If those past Govt should be probed, then it was in the power of Jona to do it. Now let him face the immediate past govt because that's the only one he can get enough document to unravel.
Stop shielding corruption and cankerworm, and be reasonable and thankful for once.

Common sense should tell you that you can't probe Jonathan's administration to a fair end without bringing in Obj' administration. I believe you you are enlightened enough to know governing is a continuum and interwoven. What is what doing is what doing well. If you want to destroy corruption, you clip it from the roots not prune it.

Since his March 28 electoral victory, President Buhari has been credited with some statements that are so unworthy of his office as the President of Nigeria. The latest of them is the President's determination to limit his probe to Jonathan's administration only. Add to this, Presidential Spokesman Femi Adesina insulted our sensibilities by these words...

“If you recall, that was already settled before he got inaugurated as president. He has said he will not waste time digging into the far past,”
“The far past will includes Obasanjo and others. But the president has said he will not waste time to go that far.”

In addition to the above statement, the Spokesman also said...
"He can’t afford to go too deep into the past or else it will be destructive for his administration." https://www.nairaland.com/2471364/buhari-probe-jonathans-govt-only

1. The "Far Past" Exclusion:

There was no time during the electioneering or transition period that Buhari made any statement like excluding "far past" administrations. What is "far past"? This obviously is a new creation aimed at protecting certain persons.

Let us do a recall that before the election, APC Chairman John Oyegun was quoted to have said..
“It is clear that from the Buhari’s perspective and that of the APC, the future of the people of this country is too important for us to spend valuable time trying to dig into the past...”

Oyegun further made clarification that the "past" is pre-2015 (not pre-2010) when he said

“And we are going to go into a situation, post May 2015, where the law will normally take its course. There will be a line drawn on the sand; on one part is the past, the other side is the future."
www.punchng.com/news/only-corrupt-nigerians-oppose-buhari-says-apc/

We also recall that Buhari himself on March 11, 2015 in a campaign rally in Kaduna state made it clear that he will only probe post-May 29, 2015 corruption cases.
www.newtelegraphonline.com/i-wont-probe-former-leaders-says-buhari/
www.thenationonlineng.net/buhari-i-wont-probe-past-govts/

There was no talk of "far past" at any time.

2. Obasanjo, Atiku, IBB etc And The "Far Past"

Isn't this laughable? If Buhari had changed his mind from his earlier position, isn't it sane that he probes former administrations especially from the IBB regime? If he insist on probing democratic administrations, then why not start from May 29, 1999? Nigerians will like to know what happened to the billions recovered from Abacha. We will like to bring those indicted in the PTDF scandal to Justice (Obasanjo, Atiku and co). We will like to know what happened to the N2.3trillion the Obasanjo allegedly spent on power. We will like to bring to justice the Haliburton "thieves" among others.

Is Buhari now trying to protect Obasanjo, who happens to be his military benefactor in 1977 and his navigator to the March 28 electoral triumph? Is he trying excluding the Abacha regime because he was part of it? Is he protecting Yar'adua administration because he was his kinsman and certain officers of that government contributed to bring him to power?
Why is Buhari making nonsense of leadership?

3. Going Too Deep Is "Destructive"?

What is destructive in bringing officers of past administrations that has looted our common wealth to justice? Is he trying to say that he can't probe his benefactors (Abacha and Obasanjo), his kinsman (Yar'adua) and his Northern military comrade (IBB), but will only probe Jonathan's administration because he neither benefitted from Jonathan nor is he a kinsman to Jonathan?

Finally, I want to reiterate that I am not against the probe of Jonathan's administration(PDP and Jonathan also share this sentiment). However, it amounts to injustice, unpatriotism and "unstatesmanlike" for the President to come up with a new "jargon" such as "far past" in his bid to shield his benefactors from probe. I to appeal to patriotic Nigerians to call on President Buhari to tow the path of sanity, fairness and statesmanship in leadership.

May God Bless Us All.

if buhari has decided to probe ONLY the jonathan administration......then know that he l definitely be biased

I never said such. Maybe u should go tru my post that u quoted again and see where I said it won't be easy to get the documents to probe them. The rigours it would take to start digging those document(thats if the are still available) won't be as easy as u think. It's easy to probe dis govt and hav a link into the far past govt. pls get it.

I have never seen so much stupidity put together in one single post. This guy is brain-dead. How can any right thinking person have a problem with Buhari probing the immediate past administration in view of the report of bare-faced stealing we have been hearing up and down? And how can any sane person expect Buhari to probe governments he did not receive handing-over from? What a silly post.

Can we all agree on some points

Nigeria has a lot of movers and shakers (both good and bad). The bad ones have been and are still in government.

Is it within PMBs right to probe the past government? Sure, but we all know the optics of that is bad. Why? because they dont want to probe older administrations.

They want to go this route because PMB knows he cannot bring down IBB, OBJ, Danjuma etc without bringing down himself. Just imagine putting someone like OBJ in jail, do you honestly think he will willingly "obey the rule of law" He will let everything out

While PMB is probing GEJ and he doesnt want to go into the far past, Tinubu is fair game right?, if he says no, its a witch hunt, if he says yes, all Tinubu needs to do is to show the money trail that led PMB to Aso Rock then "I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody" has a big problem

Regardless of how you see it, there is a deep rot in the system, do you punish new school embezzlers and leave the old ones who started it all and thought the news ones, do you go after the old ones and implicate yourself? sometimes I think the Jerry Rawlings approach works best

Just perform house cleaning ( IBB, OBJ, Danjuma, Atiku, Saraki, Tinubu, Gowon, Abdulsalam, Shagari, Rotimi, Rochas, Alamieyeseigha, Nyako)

None of them should be around

Get rid of all these people in a space of 3 days. rewrite the constitution to fit present day Nigeria and ensure punishment for corruption is very harsh

Sit back, relax and watch this country prosper

[quote author=PassingShot post=36187842]Stop crying Chief Wailer!

No one stopped GEJ from probing his predecessor/s. He had a choice and chose what he wanted. It's PMB's time and he will decide who and who to probe. Wailing from now till 2019 will not change that.

The fact is that for any nation to move in the right direction and progress toward real development, each and every government must be held accountable for her actions and inactions. Only when people realize that they will be called to answer for their deeds and misdeeds would they behave reasonably.
When PMB is done too, let his successor probe his tenure. Before we know it, our elected officials will be guided in their deeds knowing full well that. This can only be posible when you have an opposition party as your successor. imagine ambode probing fashola the way wike is probing amaechi.

wont u just leave this man alone and let him concentrate on what he's expected to do,why are u so cynical, why is it dat u dnt see anytn gud in ds man.. If mr President says he will limit his probity on the immediate past administration alone, so be it.. Jonathan had every opportunity to probe his predecessor but he wouldnt do it. And if in future, buhari's successor decides to probe him too, he would be highly welcomed... Moreover, the misappropriation of funds during GEJ regime was too much that any meaningful citizen who wants the good outta this country will just overlook..i am not saying GEJ didnt do anything, he tried his best but it was his regime that public funds looting got to a head...pls for once be constructive in ur criticism

The way I see people getting heartaches because of the plan to probe the immediate past Government amazes me, one big lesson am learning here is things will never remain the same forever, the Jonathan Govt thought that because the past Governments before them got away with their loot meant that they can easily get away with theirs too which is why they are actually hiding behind the past Governments corrupt practices to justify their corrupt actions too, what a big shame to the likes of the so called Ngozi Iwela and our former President with his so called Phd. Its a big shame that people who were accusing buhari that he has no certificate or education can afford to justify their mess with other people's mess, do we really have shame in this country.

My last word, Please I beg everyone the fact that you see someone stealing everyday and getting away with it does not mean that when you start yours that you won't be caught at your very first attempt, guys often caught at the airport for drug trafficking most times are first timers.

Sir,nobody is witch hunting anybody here! Buhari cannot go after all the past administrations because there is no time to do that and besides,it will be counter-productive. The question is what stopped Jonathan from probing his predecessor? This is just one of the many failures of Mr Jonathan. Buhari is trying to lay a solid foundation for a new Nigeria where accountability is key. He is not being selective;that is just the reasonable thing for him to do considering the time limit. He is our President,let's support him to succeed.

The fact is that for any nation to move in the right direction and progress toward real development, each and every government must be held accountable for her actions and inactions. Only when people realize that they will be called to answer for their deeds and misdeeds would they behave reasonably.

President Buhari cannot probe all past govts for lack of time and enormity of the tasks at hand but he is morally obliged to look into actions of his immediate predecessors and not all before him.

If he probes Jona, Nigeria will have taken a very giant step in moving towards accountability. When PMB is done too, let his successor probe his tenure. Before we know it, our elected officials will be guided in their deeds knowing full well that there are consequences for their actions while in office.

It's not fair that way. APC has been saying that PDP destroyed Nigeria over the past 16 years. Why not probe the people that ran the government over those 16years?

You talk about Jonathan failing to probe his predecessor? That would mean Yar' Adua, who died in power, right? Even if you say it's Obj, I now ask you, would Jonathan have probed his party chieftain who happened to be his boss? Guy, be realistic. Would his party have allowed him to do that? Don't you know it's antiparty activity? It's just like Buhari probing Tinubu. Do you think APC will approve of that? Let's not even forget that Obj is a retired general and Jonathan a bloody civilian.

Again, be notified that no matter how bad Buhari's administration turns, no subsequent APC government will probe him. It will take a different party winning presidency for Buhari's government to be probed.

So if Buhari wants to be fair, let him probe the past 16 years of PDP's government, and not just focus on 5 years of Jonathan's government. If he can't do that, then let him keep his campaign promise and forget about the probe entirely. Buhari should not push Niger Delta militants to the wall. Those guys are richer and more sophisticated than the entire Nigerian military. It won't augur well for his administration and for Nigeria as a whole, if he gives the militants the reason to wake up from their slumber. Already, the military is burdened with BH war. Adding Niger Delta unrest to it won't be palatable to them.

President Buhari should stop witch hunting Jonathan. Corruption existed before GEJ became president of Nigeria, it will not end by probing him. Those his party chieftains, who enjoy free access to his Aso-rock office should be the first among those he intends probing, if not he is wasting his time, we are not fools.

Since his March 28 electoral victory, President Buhari has been credited with some statements that are so unworthy of his office as the President of Nigeria. The latest of them is the President's determination to limit his probe to Jonathan's administration only. Add to this, Presidential Spokesman Femi Adesina insulted our sensibilities by these words...

“If you recall, that was already settled before he got inaugurated as president. He has said he will not waste time digging into the far past,”
“The far past will includes Obasanjo and others. But the president has said he will not waste time to go that far.”

In addition to the above statement, the Spokesman also said...
"He can’t afford to go too deep into the past or else it will be destructive for his administration." https://www.nairaland.com/2471364/buhari-probe-jonathans-govt-only

1. The "Far Past" Exclusion:

There was no time during the electioneering or transition period that Buhari made any statement like excluding "far past" administrations. What is "far past"? This obviously is a new creation aimed at protecting certain persons.

Let us do a recall that before the election, APC Chairman John Oyegun was quoted to have said..
“It is clear that from the Buhari’s perspective and that of the APC, the future of the people of this country is too important for us to spend valuable time trying to dig into the past...”

Oyegun further made clarification that the "past" is pre-2015 (not pre-2010) when he said

“And we are going to go into a situation, post May 2015, where the law will normally take its course. There will be a line drawn on the sand; on one part is the past, the other side is the future."
www.punchng.com/news/only-corrupt-nigerians-oppose-buhari-says-apc/

We also recall that Buhari himself on March 11, 2015 in a campaign rally in Kaduna state made it clear that he will only probe post-May 29, 2015 corruption cases.
www.newtelegraphonline.com/i-wont-probe-former-leaders-says-buhari/
www.thenationonlineng.net/buhari-i-wont-probe-past-govts/

There was no talk of "far past" at any time.

2. Obasanjo, Atiku, IBB etc And The "Far Past"

Isn't this laughable? If Buhari had changed his mind from his earlier position, isn't it sane that he probes former administrations especially from the IBB regime? If he insist on probing democratic administrations, then why not start from May 29, 1999? Nigerians will like to know what happened to the billions recovered from Abacha. We will like to bring those indicted in the PTDF scandal to Justice (Obasanjo, Atiku and co). We will like to know what happened to the N2.3trillion the Obasanjo allegedly spent on power. We will like to bring to justice the Haliburton "thieves" among others.

Is Buhari now trying to protect Obasanjo, who happens to be his military benefactor in 1977 and his navigator to the March 28 electoral triumph? Is he trying excluding the Abacha regime because he was part of it? Is he protecting Yar'adua administration because he was his kinsman and certain officers of that government contributed to bring him to power?
Why is Buhari making nonsense of leadership?

3. Going Too Deep Is "Destructive"?

What is destructive in bringing officers of past administrations that has looted our common wealth to justice? Is he trying to say that he can't probe his benefactors (Abacha and Obasanjo), his kinsman (Yar'adua) and his Northern military comrade (IBB), but will only probe Jonathan's administration because he neither benefitted from Jonathan nor is he a kinsman to Jonathan?

Finally, I want to reiterate that I am not against the probe of Jonathan's administration(PDP and Jonathan also share this sentiment). However, it amounts to injustice, unpatriotism and "unstatesmanlike" for the President to come up with a new "jargon" such as "far past" in his bid to shield his benefactors from probe. I to appeal to patriotic Nigerians to call on President Buhari to tow the path of sanity, fairness and statesmanship in leadership.

May God Bless Us All.

Funny post!!!

Simply put, a probe is just a probe. If you in the almighty wisdom your followers have accorded you is finding it hard to understand what a probe is, the opposition is in trouble.

To spite y'all, I won't explain what a probe is but for a lifeline I'd say a probe isnt an indictment at the least and does not pronounce one guilty of the reason for probe. Why all the noise huh

Simple inquiry that has not found anybody guilty is causing this much rancor, all the people you seem to want to protect may be innocent so let the probe go ahead.

I think commenting too much on your points will be too petty. Let The government do the needful and subsequent government can continue from there henceforth.

You need to stop crying foul where there is none.

On another note.... You called names and Said "and all other patriot". You now know those who are patriotic and those who aren't..... That's a circus act.
