Then came this innovative prosecution method currently applied by federal government of Nigeria.

The new method of prosecution being applied by the federal government is explained as follows: If you steal yam, meat, egg, rice and the government is aware, they will arrest you for stealing only yam, sue you to court. In a month or two you procure bail for stealing yam. You get arrested and get sued for stealing meat. Maybe in another two months you get a bail, then you get arrested for stealing egg and the process continues. As this goes on, your resources goes down, the people willing to sign surety for you decrease since you may have to use different persons as surety in each case of bail. Also the fact that you are on bail only means you can come to court from your house it does not acquit or discharge you from the case. Thus you will be going to two or more courts at the same time. This will further weaken your resolve to continue to fight because of the huge resources and energy you will need to drag on the case. In doing this the government has fully complied with rule of law. This is what have been applied in the case of Dasuki and other cases. Buhari has not disobeyed any court order. Everything Buhari has done is legal.[/b]

emmygzy:
uttermost rubbish. It's only efcc and icpc that is permitted to prosecute corruption cases. Nobody else can do it.

hopilo:
hmmmm. na wa ooo! but EFCC had the balls to invite Akpabio on Akwa Ibom funds but lost the balls to invite Ameachi

[size=14pt]Why EFCC "Selective" witchhunt On PDP Members Best for Nigeria right now. [/size]

I have read and heard from many people and PDP sympathizers that the current Buhari anti corruption drive is selective and Bias.
I totally agree it is selective. but I don't agree that it is bias. And there is nothing wrong in it being selective as long as the reason is the best for the country for now. When you have a lot of cases, you must ranked them. I strongly believe it is the best thing and the best way to fight corruption in Nigeria for now. My reasons are as follows:

1. The anti corruption fight is currently concentrated on corruption at the federal level. Buhari anti corruption war is currently not active on state level and former governors. Since federal government was fully controlled by PDP in the last 16years, most corruption at federal level is PDP affair.

2. Buhari greatest interest is to recover fund. The best thing to do in this regard is to concentrate on areas where he can recover the highest amount of stolen fund. And that is federal government and are mostly PDP members.

3. It is almost impossible to prosecute all corrupt cases in Nigeria. So the need to give priority to those with the highest amount and easiest to prosecute. Thus corrupt cases with highest return are within the PDP

4. currently the NSA is the main focus of the anti corruption war at the moment. The reason being because of the amount of money involve and because Buhari govt believe they can recover some billions from the former NSA. Since the former NSA used most of the money for election affair, it is natural that majority of people involve are PDP members

5. maybe in the next two years when the anti corruption war go to state level, some APC members will be prosecuted.

6. We should also recognized that the govt has limited resources and personnel to fight the anti corruption war. so the need to select those that will give the highest impact per resources utilized.

7. It will be very naïve, unwise and stupid for Buhari to focus on corrupt practice of APC members right now. His govt is too young for that. he cannot fight everybody at once even if he wishes to . His govt will crumble if he try that right now. He need to run the govt with Nigerians not aliens. Almost every Nigerian that have held political office has skeleton in their cupboard. thus many APC members have corrupt past. But however this is not the best time for him to open APC members files. Doing that right now will be stupidity and naïve and will be bad for the country. Ability to select the best fight to fight at a time is wisdom and leadership.

8. It may appear unfair to PDP members. but to the Nigeria masses I believe it is fair. PDP were not fair to the masses when they were stealing our treasury dry. I strongly believe all the persons who stole are common wealth should be brought to book. Whether they are APC or PDP. However, since we cant do all in one day, we must start from somewhere and from those that will give the highest return and impact.

9.The fact that the anti corruption war is currently ignoring APC members does not mean the war is not sincere. It is only a pragmatic approach to a complex problem. When you have a lot of complex problem to solve, you ranked it and choose where to start from. That is currently what is going on.

10. The truth is that all the people who are shouting witch-hunting, "selective", "vendetta" want the anti corruption war to fail. If I have access to Buhari, I will tell him to completely ignore them. Those people want him to fight on all front so that he will lose and then come back to mock him.

11. I know some people will come and say it is hippocracy to currently ignore people like Tinubu etc in the anti-corruption war. But I choose to disagree with them. it is not hippocracy but pragmatism. Even if Buhari have an intention to open Tinubu files, this is not the best time to do it. That can wait for much later. A leader must focus on National interest. it will not be in the interest of Nigeria for tinubu files to be opened at this time should he have corrupt cases. Timing is a major component of decision making and leadership. if you do the right thing at wrong time, it is as good as a wrong thing. GEJ had the opportunity to jail Tinubu since PDP supporters keep making reference to him as corrupt man, yet GEJ could not. Tinubu was tried for corruption by code of conduct Bureau under GEJ govt. Tinubu won the case. Now you PDP supporters now think it is Buhari who Tinubu used his so called "corrupt money according to PDP supporters" to sponsor should now be the one to jail him!!! That is the worst form of hippocracy I have ever heard of.

12.I also know some people will argue about Atiku, Obasanjo etc and say why are they not being tried also. Just as I explain earlier, it is much easier to trace fund, files and documents of corrupt practice done in the last 4years than those done in the last 8 or 16years. So it is only practical to concentrate on the last 4 years at the moment. To me, this is wisdom.

13 We need to understand the post is not saying that APC members and older leaders (atiku, OBJ etc) corrupt practice should be ignored. The post is only talking about now. Which is at this current time (t), it is very wise to focus on immediate past PDP govt because it will benefit Nigeria as country more than doing otherwise right now. In the future, the anti corruption drive can spread to others. But now is not the time .

14. The fact that it may not be wise to look at past corrupt act of top APC members right now does not mean Buhari should tolerate massive corruption from his cabinet or ministers. Buhari must ensure any looting under his govt is not tolerated. Should any member of his cabinent be found wanting of corruption under his current govt, the person should be punished with no mercy.

15. I agree this is not the ideal case since everybody are equal before the law in ideal situation. but it is still better than GEJ mindset, who believe that since he cannot jail all corrupt people, everybody should go free. In his mind he was being fair. The truth is that, that was one of the greatest Injustice Jonathan did to Nigerian masses. That empowered every political leader to steal without any fear of consequence.
GEJ mindset was corruption did not start with me and so it is not me that will fight it.

16. As we hope for the best, we should appreciate what is better than the past. The more we the masses support Buhari anti corruption war, the bolder he will be in fighting it. The bolder he become the less selective he will become and the more APC members will be prosecuted.

17. For all those who claim Buhari is no saint and as such should not fight corruption should go and rethink and re-examine that point. I agree he is no saint. But there is no country in the world ruled by saints. If other countries like United State, China, France have succeded in reducing corruption in their countries by sinful men who are not saint, then Buhari is qualified to fight corruption. Except we want God to come down from heaven himself to come and fight Nigeria corruption. No country in the world was transformed by saint. They were all transformed by sinful men.


[b]Finally, Nigeria masses must rise up against PDP or else Nigeria will be doom forever should we allow PDP to pressure President Buhari to give up on his anti-Corruption war. We must understand that the current Buhari anti-corruption war will go a long way in ensuring that the current cabinent members of Buhari government perform with minimal stealing of our common wealth. Should we allow PDP to fustrate Buhari to give up on his anti- Corruption fight, I promise you, the current ministers and other public officials under the current APC government will grow very wild and steal our common wealth without any conscience or Fear with reckless abandon. We need to understand that Buhari is alone to a very large extent in this anti-corruption war. Many of Buhari cabinent members are secretely supporting PDP to fustrate the anti-corruption war. It benefits Buhari Ministers if the anti-corruption war fails. Nigeria masses must wake up to reality and understand that we are the one at the receiving end. Nigerians have been praying to God in churches, Mosque and Shrines for corruption in Nigeria to reduce. God have answered our prayers in Buhari. Let us not make the mistake of the Jews who God sent a messiah and Saviour Jesus Christ, but was rejected because he came to them as a son of an ordinary carpenter. Buhari may have come to us as someone without oratory skills with limited conventional education, but i strongly believe, he is the answer to Nigerians prayers on corruption.

Amaechi didn't wait to be invited. He went to Efcc forces avenue down here in Ph and answered questions to petition against him. The mere fact that nothing has surfaced so far suggests that the petition us nothing but a heap of rubbish.

@Koboko69,

pls tell me how the reports against Amaechi and Sylva from their respective states went.

[/b]Your statements on Olisah Metu / FFK simply says it all. you are a pro PDP.

You didnt see anything wrong with thier involvment other than saying they need good set of lawyers to get them out of which means you are a supporter of corruption like your past clueless and corrupt President.. Now let me ask you as a member, you can acknowlege how corrupt your ex-president was right? Has he been arrested or detained since he left power? NO.


Now back to your post:
Reason: You see that party, They have a thief as a mentor who once quoted stealing is not corruption, those are the natural thieves we need to wipe out from the face of Nigeria first.

APC too has their own set of thieves and only time will tell too.

The only reason i support some of these APC thieves is simple: Some became like one of the thieves on the cross alongside Jesus. Who believed in him knowing well they have sinned and ready to repent, confessed his sins and got saved. Example: Ameachi .

I'm not a PDP supporter nor an APC when it comes to taking sides in Politics because i'm not a fool to understand these greedy politicians are just there to make the best use of thier time in thier various positions. I just want to see Nigeria grow in it's best and fastest way attainable.
In other words , Buhari is the man Nigeria needs even after his 8 years by God's grace.. I do not care if he becomes a dictator as long as he is doing the right thing. This country suffered too much to a crumbling state under these thieves. and the worse part is that beneficiaries be it families who benefited from it never saw anything bad about it because the loots was shared in thier favour rampantly. The times of looting is over. Nigerians would re-stategize thier lives and stop depending on politics to survive or make waves.

Sorry OP.

He ended up serially contradicting himself. Noisemakers all over the place.

Group thinking and herd mentality is the mainstay of all APC supporters.

I hope they all live to see the inescapable consequences of Buhari's misadventure. This is Nigeria where people hardly forget.

Buhari will go down in history as the most vindictive leader to rule this country. He can keep deceiving his thoughtless followers that he is on an anti-corruption crusade. Any discerning person does not any visual aid to see beyond the veneer/red herring.

Let him continue the purging of opposition elements but certainly the chicken will come home to roost.

What do you make of the likes of Fashola, Amaechi being appointed ministers while their counterparts in the PDP are being harassed with the machineries of the state? Even the Tinubus, Atikus, Obasanjos of this world are now reverred saints pontificating and preaching rectitude.

We are watching...

maestroferddi:
You are not thinking!

Actually u are the daft one here.


It might surprise you that a lot of people even in the PDP initially supported Buhari because most Nigerians have grown disillusioned with politicians of every hue.


Really, so even in the PDP like u stated eh? Go tell that to ur household. Am sure they will buy this stupidity of urs

We expected Buhari to have had a clean break with the past by not allowing the old order to dominate his government and policies. But what did we get?

We bargained for a fair and broad-minded leader willing to carry all parts of the country along in the quest for a new Nigeria which all well-meaning citizens desire.

Shut ur trap right there liar. When u say "we" who are u reffering to? U pdp folks and ur cohorts or what? U lot expectation was on Jonah-daft not the General and u were so confident about it. May I remind u that u never expected anything from Buhari, u never bargained that he will even win. When he was busy going all over the nation sharing his ideas, u lot called him a serial liar and looser and was busy looking for his certificates.
Peeps like me know what we voted for and how we want him to operate. So far he is on line. Infact, we expect far more than what is currently being done by the General.


What we got is a sectional leader intent on exacerbating the sensitive cleavages responsible for our inability to achieve national integration.

Majority see a Nigerian leader, insignificant nonentities sees a sectional leader. Why should this move any sane being?

What we got is a leader who is hiding under the guise of fighting corruption to emasculate his perceived enemies.


What we got is a leader who has promoted cronysm to an unprecedented level. Members of the opposition are being hunted down while corrupt elements in the APC who facilitated Buhari's ascension are being rewarded with sensitive political positions.


A baseless and shameless opinion from a suspected yam eater. Metuh said the same thing far before he was arrested. Now we know why he said such.....he ate our yams. Go ffuck urself.


Even the Holy Book admonished that judgement should start in the house of God.

Did u ever remember what the Holy Book said when ur hero, Jonah-daft was in charge doing as he please? If u didnt then u are nothing but a shameless hypocrite.

What the foregoing implies is that perception is very fundamental in a reform-targeting set-up. Perception clearly appears to be the least of Buhari's concerns and that is why the so-called anti-coruption crusade will remain political witch-hunting by other means.

Anyone is free to perceive whatever. Majority of Nigerians to the best of my knowledge are very much comfortable with the Generals methodology. I perfectly understand if some iPOB fools and pdp arseholes have issues with it. U lot will only have ur say in this dispensation but because u lot are in the minority, u will never have ur way. That is democracy in action. Wail till u can wail no more. That's ur cup of tea. General on the right track.

Sorry OP.

koboko69:
I have read read many criticisms following the present war on corruption by President Buhari. Many are claiming it is paybay time / pilitical witch hunt. Before such conclusions are made we all need to understand that the ongoing investigations by the EFCC and DSS on the Dansuki gate saka and Money Laundering is at the Federal level.

The immediate past government was headed by the People's Democratic Party. It is expected that benefactors of the Largesse will be mostly members of the political party in power or friends and allies of the past government hence the main reason why most of the people being quizzed and arrested are members/benefactors of PDP.

This should settle the question that "does it mean all members of the APC are saints"
No, Mr president can't start probing each states funds. Being that most of the members of APC had access to loot only state funds of where they were in power. It is the duty of present state governors to investigate and prosecute whoever is found wanting be it APC member or PDP member.

Dansuki have been in custody and would have mentioned any APC benefactor of his Largesse. Let we Nigerians support the present fight against corruption irrespective of political affiliations. These people disregarded the rule of law and Constitution when stealing our common wealth but will always want the rule of law and constitution to save them when being hunted.

If Olisah Metu or FFK are benefactors of Dansuki gate, they should assemble a team of good lawyers to defend their case.

May God bless Nigeria!

Demdem:

For sylvia, under Jonah-daft presidency, he bundled the entire investigation and sylvia was charged to court. Court says he has no case. Again, efcc being dissatisfied went to court again to charge him and again another judge says he has no case.
Are u not among the lots criticising Buhari for disobeying court orders? Please what else do u expect from Buhari as regards sylvia

Where did this one come from?
