Popular human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has stated that the much touted anti-corruption fight of President Muhammadu Buhari has been a failure.

Human Rights lawyer, Femi Falana says President Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign has been a failure
According to The Authority, Falana made the comment while speaking at the 4th Convocation Lecture of Oduduwa University, in Ile Ife Osun state.

The fiery lawyer also warned President Buhari against the proposed $29.9 billion loan the federal government seeks to borrow from China.

According to Falana, only 50 percent of the loan amount will ever arrive Nigeria, while future generations will be straddled with the responsibility of paying the loan.

Falana advised President Buhari to instead use monies recovered from ex-government officials to attend to economic issues.

His words: “Curiously, the Buhari administration has failed to address capital flight and round tripping by financial institutions, otherwise why has the government been reluctant to ask EFCC to recover and sanction the oil and shipping companies which under declared the crude oil worth billions of dollars shipped from Nigeria, under the Jonathan administration?

“Why has the federal government failed to recover the $20.2 billion withheld from the Federation Account by the NNPC and some oil companies from 1999-2012?

“Why has the federal government not inquired into the allegation that the sum of $25.4 billion was laundered and illegally taken out of Nigeria by a telecommunication company?

“Why has the government failed to recover the looted wealth of the nation which has been traced to financial institutions in the west and the United Arab Emirates?”

“Why has the CBN failed to recover the $7 billion deposit and N600 billion bailout given to the commercial banks in 2006 and 2008 respectively? Instead of intensifying efforts to recover such huge funds among several others,the government is determined to take a loan of $29.6billion”.

Last week, Falana urged President Buhari to release former national security adviser Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd) as soon as possible.

In a statement released on Sunday, November 13, Falana said it was time that the president checked human rights abuses under his administration and a good way to start is to release Dasuki who has been in jail for over a year despite court orders for his release.

The messenger is as important, if not more important than the message.

Liepods can lie for Africa.

Nothing else can be surprising from a people who believe PMB sponsored Clinton's campaign with $500 million out of the less than $600 million she spent.

Such a group of people is useless, senseless and irreparably irresponsible.

if it took a SAN one year and seven months to deduce this ,Nigeria is finished .

Was there any anti corruption fight.

HOW WE GOT HERE

He ruled from 1984-1985. He banned use and possession of forex and incarcerated many whose guts and faces he disliked, some for centuries. By the end of 1984, Nigeria went into recession and in 1985, IBB kicked him out. From 1985-2015, he didn't improve himself academically or in any way. He didn't have any trust fund or any other program to assist the less privileged. He had the exact same number of cows for almost 20 years, nobody in the history could be said to have benefited from him in any way while out of government. In short, the way he was in 1985 was exactly the way he was in 2015. Progress made, zero.

He was rehabilitated by Sanni Abacha who made him PTF Chairman. Democracy returned back to Nigeria in 1999. He started contesting to be President in 2002. For 13 years, you would expect him to already have an idea of how to move the nation forward. He failed severally till a man of peace, GEJ, conducted elections, the kind we could never have had under OBJ and we probably would never have again.

He campaigned under the 'Change' mantra and fooled many of my brothers from the South West.To the wonderfully intelligent Yoruba people, they yearned for proper change, one they thought would usher in new ways of doing things. And Buhari became President. What they didn't know was that their Northern partners only yearned for a change from Southern, Christian President to a Northern, Islamic one. My supposedly smart Yoruba brothers were fooled by their supposedly, less-smart Northern partners.

And then, the Chief Architect of Change, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is now left with 'RED EYES'. Architect of Change now dumped by Chief Beneficiary of Change.

We warned him, we warned them. They thought we were being sentimental and tribalistic. After campaigning for 13 years and waiting an extra six months to name angelic ministers, what did we eventually get? A dinosaur for Agriculture Minister, a lawyer in Housing, Works and Power Ministry in a nation where you have some of the best engineering brains in the world, the least intelligent appointee ever in Nigerian FG in the Sports Ministry, an lying, loud-mouthed English graduate in Transport Ministry and many more amoebic pegs in indeterminate holes. And like it was 32 years ago, forex was banned and made impossible to access.

And then for the second time, RECESSION happens.

And after trying all archaic methods, padding budget, stealing budget, re-padding budgets and releasing N3.6 trillion between March and November 2016 (only God knows where the money entered), recession bites harder. To curb rising inflation and raise funds,

- they now clamp down on bureau de change operators to control exchange rate.
- next they want to start arresting people and their families and organizations who have dollars and are not spending.
- and they want to start taxing any gsm call that exceeds 3 minutes.

Maybe next, they will start arresting all those who have more than N20,000 (twenty thousand naira) at home or in banks and not spending them. We call these economic policies 'buharimonics'

God help us.

Was he fighting corruption before??

Many of our self-professed activists only speak out when they aren't getting needed attention from the govt whilst some still live in self-denials despite glaring truth.

The most painful is the silence of top Nigerians / activists whilst Nigeria gradually becomes a killing field under this government.

talking from both sides of his mouth

did he just realised that Dasuki has bin in d prison for long without trial? Or he just turned to b Dasuki defender because he has bin sidelined by d govt. Dis man dont seem to be a human right activist as he claimed. To my own opinion, he makes noise whenever d 'tap stops flowing' in his domain

Falana, because your boss Tinubu, has been sidelined, that is why you talking now.

I don't know why Buhari refused to give this man appointment so that we will hear word

He would have actually done his job that's why. Instead we get media circus every month with no convictions. If curruption is so conspicuous why isn't there more convictions to show.

Even dis zombi lawyer don dey get brain smal smal but wait o Oga falana daura secret service dey come o
