Good

We are not against fighting corruption we all want a better Nigeria.
Our concern is that APC has several members Tinubu, Fashola, Amaechi that have questionable distribution of state funds that is not being looked into.
Transfer of state property for personal gains is a crime that the EFCC is refusing to touch upon. How long are we going to pretend that APC party members are immune to probing?

Mean while I have yet to see any news worthy projects by the Noisemakers being reported. Just picture taking and loud mouth threats.

What has been going on in APC states in terms of projects? All this probing does not need to be broadcasted. Just let us know how long those found guilty will be jailed and how much money was recovered and what is going to be done with the recovery of the money.

Stop all this media justice.

Mr. Magu also responded to comments from participants at the forum that a lot of Nigerians have a feeling that the ongoing war against corruption appears targeted at members of the opposition.

He said by his orientation, he has nothing to with politics and is therefore, not doing the bidding of a political party.

“Such accusations have come up a lot, but, we work with petitions before us, in fact, I am eager and waiting for something from the other side, but nothing has come so far,” he said.

What a Load of Bullsh***t

Cacol petitioned EFCC Twice in March 2015 and again in October 2015 for the Billions of Naira Scams and shady dealings Fashola engaged in during his time as Governor of Lagos state but instead of investigating him or even inviting him to clear his name he was rewarded with the post of a Super Minister

A civil-society and non-governmental organisations group, Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders (CACOL), on Thursday said it had again petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate the activities of the Lagos State Government.

CACOL’s Executive Chairman, Debo Adeniran, made this disclosure as the group staged a peaceful protest that kicked off from Ikeja under bridge, with a detour to the government house and then ended up at EFCC.

He said they decided to involve the commission again because the objective of the group was targeted at fighting corruption and corrupt persons by any means possible at all levels in Nigeria.

In the petition made available to THISDAY, the group said their grouse was the failure of the Lagos State Government to provide answers to various questions raised by the coalition since 2010.

He said the questions raised were over the detailed budgetary reports of income and expenditure for the period of 2007 to 2011.

Adeniran said so far, the state government was yet to accede to this demand, as it allegedly kept hiding under one legal technicality or another since 2010.

In the petition, the coalition said it had in reaction to an advertorial placed in one of the national dailies on Thursday, January 28, 2010 under the title: ‘The True Face of Lagos,’ petitioned the EFCC on February 3, 2014, requesting for thorough investigation and necessary actions.

He said the publication had contained several allegations bordering on financial recklessness and misappropriation against the state government.

Adediran said the protest was because answers were not forthcoming even after another petition on February, 2011, addressed to the Lagos State House of Assembly, demanding that they investigate itself and perform its oversight functions’ on the allegations of financial impropriety leveled against the state governor.

He said house however replied vide its letter dated February 24, 2011 stating its inability to accede to CACOL’s demand, citing an earlier court injunction which stopped further deliberation on the matter until the case was disposed of.

Again, he said they forwarded a reminder to its earlier petition to the EFCC on August 6, 2013, to express their displeasure at the alleged utter neglect and the slow pace of investigation.

The coalition said based on facts at their disposal, they had placed different advertorials titled Alpha Beta Consulting (ABC) Deductions: Take a stand now.

He said: “The advertorials unveiled the facts surrounding the process of tax collection, remittance and deductions to the aforementioned consulting firm which is rumoured to belong to a former governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu.

“Facts have it that the ABC is contracted to deduct from source a regular 15 per cent of all monies collected as taxes in the state at any given time or period.
“As a matter of verifiable fact, a total sum of N27,743,310,520.93 was paid to ABC between January 25, 2012 and October 26, 2014 through Skye Bank Plc account.

“These unfolding revelations are not only mind-boggling, but embarrassing as they have once again opened up the Pandora’s Box of the rots and high level of impunity in governance in Lagos State, with particular emphasis on the abuse of office, unguided recklessness and profligacy at the state level.


“Against this backdrop, CACOL is calling on the EFCC to make public your findings on the allegations of the ‘True Face of Lagos’ as contained in our previous petitions.

“We urge you to prevail on your personnel to expedite actions on the request made that the allegations raised in our petition are diligently investigated, its report made public, and whoever is indicted be prosecuted and punished appropriately.”

It became so bad that Cacol has decided to Sue EFCC for ignoring the petition meanwhile the EFCC Boss is lying that no one from the opposition has petitioned any member of the ruling party.

This selective witch hunt must stop. I don't care if all the politicians and military rulers from 1960 to 2016 are going to be investigated for corruption and prosecuted but EFCC should stop facing only PDP. Anyone in PDP who is found wanting for embezzling Nigeria's money should face the law but why are they shielding APC politicians when we know APC is made up of 65% of EX PDP governors, ministers, special advisers, specials assistants, commissioners etc? Did they not steal money too the moment they decamped to APC? Or is it current members of PDP who chose to remain that they intend to investigate only? It makes no sense.

Look at Amechi case, FBN Trustees published reports that he withdrew N55Billion to N1Billion of Rivers State Money in just One year to Fund Buhari's Election. That is madness and cruel to the poor people of Rivers. Petitions were written to the EFCC to investigate Amechi but he was also rewarded as a Super Minister. Why would the opposition not assume this a witch hunt? The Chairman is being selective end of story.

[size=15pt]EFCC Arraigns Former PDP Chairman, Haliru Bello [/size]

Efcc is impressing buhari rather than fight corruption.Anyone they found not in good terms with Buhari they will be looking for a fault to get him arrested just as we have been seeing in their recent arrest.The 1984 mentality is still in buhari's brain.

Good, isn't there also a way of recovering the funds back? Let them be stripped of all asset & they should start hussling from square one. Let them know also know how it feels to be poor in a land of plenty !!!!

Bla bla bla.

hinwazaka:
This ignoble foolhardy plan by the FG, is due to the President's belief that his enemies are behind the Fuel scarcity. But the major catalyst is the opposition's hand in ruining the hidden loan application by the government, from the IMF. Yesterday, the IMF chief put the final nail in the coffin on the loan application. Now the President has no choice but to review his outlandish budget. The loan was meant to finance the budget and settle some influential Nigerians in the APC. Due to this burst bubble, the President is now breathing fire and brimstone on those who he believes leaked his illicit motives to top media hotshots, who were able to blackmail the IMF into dropping the FG's application. I pity the President and his party, because they are in hot soup.

Can anyone be so contrary? Where were you when all of those being questioned confessed to collecting money from the NSA for personal and political purposes? Or was it the President that spoke for them?

One area where Buhari's administration is over performing. I have been very critical of him but not in this area. Politicians should focus on delivering for the people who sent them there. Period.

Cowardice Hero! Smh for the people of the zoo.

Instead of saying more opposition members will be arrested. Any one who says anything against buhari is corrupt.

More like "we will arrest more pdp influentials.....its funny how Apc people are now all Saints, none of them is corrupt, even Jagaban himself.....what a country filled up with citizens without brain, the energy and time Buhari is putting in this fight against pdp people, he should channel it in promises he made to Nigerians.....nigeirians please stand up, open your eyes, this change is scam, this is not about pdp Apc please, this is about our future and that of our Children, sometimes I don't blame Nnamdi kanu for calling this country a zoo, sometimes I wish fela could. Come back to life, these are people who know the truth and stand on it and also. Say it......

...and the cycle continues.....

.........maybe by December, every corrupt Nigerian would have been arrested and dealt with......


........This government sha..........




................................Only God will help us finally.............

Plus10:
Did I just read him right that no petition has been forwarded to him from the opposition?Not surprise this government is full of lies...

Hmmmmmmm

Why will they forward petitions if not to implicate themselves.

My reasoning before now was that Satan was the worst Devil that ever existed. But revelations, so far, have shown that I erred. PDP is a worse Devil than Satan. Satan, sometimes, pretends to be 'good' hence his ability to recruit many.

But for PDP, it's chop alone and kill any passerby.
