Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan has
reportedly summoned his former aides and
ex-ministers over impeding probe in the $2,1
bn arms purchase scam.
The Punch reports that current
investigations of former Jonathan’s aides
and calls for his own probe formed part of
the discussion at the meeting.
Many of the former ministers are said to be
worried that the anti-corruption efforts of
President Muhammadu Buhari seems to be
focused solely on those who served in the
last administration.
However, some leaders of the opposition
party asked the incumbent leader not to
accept the pressure being mounted on him
to investigate Jonathan. According to them,
doing so would amount to laying a bad
precedent.

Jonathan
Chief Ebenezer Babatope, a PDP Board of
Trustees member, advised the Buhari-led
administration not to probe ex-president,
adding that doing so would humiliate the
PDP leader.
He said Jonathan should not be probed
unless “ it becomes brazenly open that a lot of
thefts are traced to him, but for now nothing
has been traced to him.”
“The late sage, Pa Obafemi Awolowo, said you
must not humiliate your leadership. When you
decide to humiliate your leadership, it is not
Jonathan that you’re humiliating, it is your
values that you are casting aspersions on,” the
chieftain said.
“Those calling for the probe of Jonathan are
enemies of this country. Whoever is
spearheading the probe may be digging his
political grave. Have they found him guilty?
“All the noise we have been hearing is about
the security vote. Buhari embarked on such a
probe during his first coming as a military
leader when he threw all manner of Nigerian
leaders into jail.”
Jonathan’s staunch loyalists also have
expressed dissatisfaction over calls for the
probe of the former Nigerian leader.
The spokesperson of the Ijaw National
Congress, Mr. Victor Burubo, said that it was
wrong for anybody to begin the probe of the
ex-president.

probe ex-president Jonathan
He said: “ I don’t think he (Jonathan) should
be probed. In every government, there are
people responsible for various functions and
when such people are found wanting, they are
fished out and probed. It is not the head of
the government that should be probed.
“In Buhari’s government, people padded the
national budget. Would they now say that
Buhari should be investigated? Nobody has
said that Buhari should be investigated.”
The presidency recently had said that the
anti-graft commission is free to probe
Jonathan, adding that Buhari does not tele-
guide the EFCC in any way.
Former national security adviser Sambo
Dasuki, who is currently in detention,
reportedly said that he received approvals
from Jonathan to divert huge sums of money
meant for the procurement of arms in the
war against Boko Haram insurgents.
While some want a prospective probe to be
limited to former president’s Jonathan
government, some countered that it should
be extended to all past governments.

If Jonathan likes, he can summon Isaac Adaka Boro from the Grave.

Fact is, he has a case to answer.

Nothing will come out of this meeting, i have a feeling he wants to advice all of his former Ministers to "RUN AWAY" to some foreign Countries, before they end up at The Gulag Archipelago.

Zipping my chilled kunu

GEJ my man. Samsung Galaxy S7 don comot abeg tell Dasuki make him send me 1mill. Just 1mill

Why i no quick see for news say them wan probe the marafacker


this news make sense die

It's wrong to probe jonathan,the circle will never cease

Baba should focus on our bad economy

he should and must be probed, period!

The guilty heart is always on the run even when no man is pursuing him.
Even without an open probe Jonathan will ever live a restless trouble life for his actions and inactions that has plunged the nation to an abysmal state.
The ghost of his sorry past will ever hunt him.
Out of respect for the council of state PMB may decide not to engage him in an open probe but posterity will surely probe the clueless one.

Our problem is not Bad Economy!!

I repeat, it is not Bad Economy!!

Our problem is corruption!!

I go for an Interview, they leave the most qualified and pick a Novice just because he knows someone

They give Governor money to develop state, he diverts the money

They elect senator, he stays 8yrs in the hallowed chamber and ends up doing nothing!

The workers are looking for ways to dupe the company

Everybody is looking for an opportunity to steal!!

How will the Economy be good?.... When people are sabotaging the government just to make fast money through "Increase in dollar"!!

The problem is not Buhari, the problem is Nigerians!!

Jonathan should be probed alongside all his Ministers!!

So that these present Ministers will know that their own day is coming!!

SAY NO TO Corruption!!
