I'm tempted to call you unprintable names but I'm in a good mood this morning. What I have is just pity for you and your shallow reasoning. We are taking our country back from the hands of serial looters and all you can rant about is 'witch - hunting'. How I wish Jonathan 'witch hunted' looters during his stint as president, (the number of looters would have been reduced somewhat) I guess you can't give what you don't have. Those who ran from the sinking PDP and ran into the APC will also have their day with the law. Karma is a bitch you know. A day will also come when the 'Pharaoh that knew Joseph' will no longer be there. Let's not celebrate looters and economic rapists.

TonyeBarcanista:
Whoever told you that is as hypocritical as the man that said he hasn't taken bribe before. Fraud is fraud and should not be entertained in any decent society. That I support you in an election does not mean that I will condone vice that is linked to you or your government. I'm first a Nigerian before anything else. It is the job of sycophants and zombies to defend fraud and defend anything done by their party chiefs

TonyeBarcanista:
Yes, PDP Governments in the past either lack the political will or turn blind eye to thes fraudulent acts but it doesn't exonerate perpetrators of the act irrespective of partisan leaning. One thing I admire about this government is the show of political will. That's commendable and we hope to see it spread across all thieves irrespective of whether umbrella or broom.

since you guys are for the truth waiting for you people to openly condemn Buhari on this never stopping fuel scarcity, failed promises, dwindling economy

shameless hypocrites

DebateNigeria:
So true. I am also disappointed to say the least. This is monumental rape of our future. Anyways, let me just watch and see what the end would look like. We must learn to separate politics from justice and patriotism. Up till this moment, I am sympathetic to PDP, I am proud of it and have no regrets. Who knows, maybe Atiku, Amaechi, Kwankwaso, etc would have been indicted or probed if they were still in PDP.
God help Nigeria

Barcanista, as logical as your postulations might seem to be, practically, it does not seem to be in tandem with the realities in our govt bearucracies. Ordinarily, the office of NSA should not be seen to have anything to do with party campaigns or anything outside Security but this is not straight-jacketed.

1. National Security is not about the police, military or paramilitary affairs only. It involves everything about the life of any sitting govt. Ensuring that such a govt is not ousted from power (by whatever means) is a responsibility of the NSA and other govt officials.

2. Media advertisements against insurgency and exposition on individuals who are seen as enemies of the State also fall under the jurisdiction of the NSA and any fund allotted to such office can be used appropriately as any situation requires..

3. Excess Funds from Security Votes can be redirected for other pressing needs.

4. Dokpesi has explained the purpose for which the money he received was meant for. It's now left for the court to establish the veracity of his claim.

We all support any fight against corruption but it must be done with sincerity of purpose. Buhari should explain where his party got his campaign funds from.

opiaoku:
You'll never see these useless apc bastards in this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/2780095/amaechi-sold-rivers-asset-fund
now the culprit is now an honorable minister

corruption is very bad but if the fight against corruption is real it must be all round and not one sided nor partisan.
without it every other thing is just scam and witch hunting

as for the op he's a double standard vagabond

AtlanticBreeze:
Let me present it from Another angle, now that buhari is probing the campaign funds if GEJ, when will he probe his own campaign funds that's since we are going with his poor background?? When will he probe the multi billions used for his own campaign? smh

TonyeBarcanista:
I don't know why those partisan fanatics are not seeing the bigger picture. Corruption favors no one but the perpetrators only.

All those implicated in this fraud from Sambo Dasuki, Attahiru Bafarawa and his son, Raymond Dokpesi, the Generals and those yet to be arrested must be made to face the Full wrath of the law whether they are fulani, yoruba, ijaw, Igbo, Ibibio, nupe,
Kowa, PDP or APC.

Justice must be served! Every goat that fed fat on the yams meant for the security of the country shall know no peace

TonyeBarcanista:
I was shocked when I heard/and read of the arrest of High Chief Raymond Dokpesi over his connection with the alleged diversion of $2.2 billion or N640billion meant for arms purchase. Raymond Dokpesi was not a public office holder, he isn't a military chief, neither is he an ex-military man. He isn't a known security contractor. So how did Dokpesi come in contact with N2.1 billion meant for arms purchase? I couldn't answer these questions. I had to wait for his own statement. Fortunately, his DAAR office released a statement which I quote in part...

"Dokpesi explained to the EFCC officials that the N2.1 billion that he collected from the former NSA was payment for for publicity and media political campaigns during the 2015 General Elections.”.

Explanation Defies Logic...
Sincerely, the explanation of High Chief Dokpesi has several flaws and loopholes. I mean why should we believe Dokpesi that the N2.1 billion paid into his account was for political campaign publicity when the NSA office under Sambo Dasuki was not the Directorate of Finance of PDP Presidential Campaign organisation(PDPPCO)? Was Col Dasuki Sambo the Director of Finance for PDP Presidential Campaign organisation? If there was need for media publicity deal between the PDPPCO and DAAR Communication, was it not the duty of the Director of Publicity (PDPPCO) Fani Kayode to negotiate such deal? If there should be any payment, was it not the duty of Senator (Mrs) Nenadi Usman, the Finance Director of PDPPCO? Wouldn't the money come from the purse of PDPPCO? Is the nation's treasury co-owned by the PDPPCO? How do we now explain the connection between N2.1billion from our treasury to Raymond Dokpesi? Is Dokpesi in any way trying to tell us that Sambo Dasuki on behalf of PDPPCO diverted monies meant for arms purchase for political media publicity of PDP?

PDPPCO Denies Raymond Dokpesi
While pondering on Dokpesi's claim that the whopping N2.1 billion was meant for political campaign, the PDPPCO campaign Director of Media and Publicity, Mr Fani Kayode only recently denies ever having any deal with Dokpesi. An excerpt from his statement reads...

“As far as we are concerned, we don’t have anything to do with the payment made to Dokpesi for publicity.

“Dokpesi is not part of the Presidential Campaign Organisation. We have the structure; you know the Director General, you know the directors. We did not spend one kobo from the public fund."

I believe that someone isn't telling the truth. We need to see the contractual papers between PDPPCO and Dokpesi to determine whether or not PDPPCO was really involved in the N2.1billion fraud.

Raymond Dokpesi Indicted Sambo Dasuki
Without sounding emotional, I believe that Dokpesi's statement though not convincing has further indicted Sambo Dasuki in this arms purchase fraud saga. It is incumbent on Sambo Dasuki to come clean by explaining how N2.1 billion of Nigeria's fund meant for arms procurement moved to Dokpesi's account without even the knowledge of the former finance minister Okonjo Iwaela. Sambo must explain to us how a whopping N4.6 billion manoeuvred into Attahiru Bafarawa's account when he (Bafarawa) is neither a military consultant nor a legitimate arms dealer if truly Bafarwas got such money. Were they using the boko haram menace as "business"?

Justice Not Drama...
It is a very big shame that funds in the tune of N640 billion that was meant for our soldiers and security agents to secure the federation especially the North-East was siphoned by those in position of trust and their allies. The effect of their theft resulted in loss of gallant officers, civilians and properties. It has made some people orphan, some widows, some physically and psychologically disabled, while some lost their homes and means of livelihood. All those fingered in this fraud from Sambo Dasuki, Attahiru Bafarawa and his son, Raymond Dokpesi, the Generals and those yet to be arrested must be made to face the full wrath of the law whether they are fulani, yoruba, ijaw, Igbo, Ibibio, nupe, Kowa, PDP or APC. Justice must be served! Every goat that fed fat on the yams meant for the security of the country shall know no peace

I am ending this piece by expressing 'great' disappointment in Dr Goodluck Jonathan for allowing this monumental fraud to go unchecked under his watch. I don't want to believe that GEJ benefited financially from the whole arrangement for now. I am patiently waiting for the investigators' report. Only God knows how many more fraud were perpetrated by officials of the former administration and their allies across party and tribal line.



May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria

I have nothing more to say.

kaboninc:
You do not need to express 'great' disappointment in GEJ. We all know what it means to be with the 'happening' team. So if the media can go all out to say that Dieziani stole 13 billion pounds, you also do not need to express great disappointment in GEJ.

You need to really consider what you stand for, how you stand for it.

I only hope and fear that you are not what I'm thinking you to be.....a turn coat!

God bless us and give us a spirit of objectivity.

philips70:
I commend your strength in accepting to take a look back to realign yourself back to where you should be. Truth of the matter is at this time in our national life, reasonable people should shelve party or regional affiliation to fight for the soul of the country. These guys destroyed every fabric of our society. We are talking about monies meant to save lies that were dying daily.

modath:
I too don't have much to say these days cos the kind of evil that exists in Nigerians just make me weak, mind boggling figures & revelations. just SMH & pass!!!

How ya doing?

See guy, I think my post should tell you that I don't relegate the country's interest for those of the morally bankrupt in the society. I don't need you to patrionise me or praise me.... I never sought for that.

It is okay if you don't share my view, it is actually your business not mine. But it is silly for you to think that I give a damn to whatever negative perception you have of me. Please, swerve!

NgeneUkwenu:
And That's exactly why PDP Was The Problem. Those people you listed were not under immunity during Jonathana's time bar Amaechi, what stopped the Corrupt jonathan from Going after them?

Horlufemi:
He has seen the light and he has become more objective.

TonyeBarcanista:
Just last year, the FG collected loan of $1billion (N200billion) for arms procurement. This loan means that myself, my future children and every Nigerians are indebted to our creditors. But what happened? Some few bastards shared the money among themselves. And someone will come here to screem his party name? Damn!
