Another bad day, for the independent pigs of Biafra..

Buhari should be made a life president.

They said once you joined APC, your sins are forgiven..

Yet 2 entrants to APC from PDP have been jailed, and more are coming..

These are:

Rev. Jolly Nyame former governor of Taraba State.

Gov Joshua Dariye. Former Governor of Plateau State.

Let's see how the pigs/PDP will turn this one.
I can predict. The next lies will be "Buhari is prosecuting only Christian members of the APC"

Modified*. Pls check the post just below this. 1 has already started.

Few weeks after a former Taraba governor, Jolly Nyame, was jailed 14 years for fraud, the Federal Capital Territory High Court has found former Plateau State governor, Joshua Dariye, guilty of fraud.


Mr Dariye was charged for allegedly diverting N1. 161.9 billion while he served as governor of the North-central state.

He was brought to court on a 23-count charge for the alleged offence by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC in 2007.

Although Mr Dariye’s lawyer, Kanu Agabi, questioned the authenticity of evidence adduced in court against his client, the court said the evidences clearly indicate a case of diversion.

The judge, Adebukola Banjoko, found him guilty of diverting funds to the Peoples Democratic Party in the state among other groups.


Mrs Banjoko who was still reading the judgement at the time of this report found Mr Dariye guilty of counts 1, 2, 4, and 7.

The counts relate to the diversion of N80 million to the PDP, N100 million to a company, Marine flow and other sums through the All State Bank.

The same judge jailed Mr Nyame.

BACKGROUND
Mr Dariye, a serving senator, was first elected governor of the state in 1999 under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.


He was re-elected in 2003, but later impeached by the state’s house of assembly in November 2006.

Following judgements of the Appeal and Supreme Courts nullifying his impeachment however, Mr Dariye was ordered to complete his tenure in 2007.

The prosecution, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, arraigned the defendant on a 21-count for the alleged offence shortly after the expiration of his tenure in May 2007.


According to the anti-graft agency, Mr Dariye used his office to siphon money out of the country, through various accounts.

Mr Dariye fought a seemingly endless battle to prevent his trial, from the lower court to the Supreme Court.

Ahead of his arraignment in 2007, Mr Dariye challenged the competence of the charges against him, but failed at the trial court.

Subsequently the ex-governor approached the Court of Appeal where he also failed in his attempt to stop the trial.

Mr Dariye who had secured an order for the suspension of his trial at the lower court, also proceeded to the Supreme Court with his appeal. He was, however, made to continue the trial following an order of the apex court in 2015, after stalling the case for over seven years.

The former governor controversially employed the services of a former Attorney General of the federation, Kanu Agabi, who headed Nigeria’s justice ministry when the charge against the defendant was first brought.

He is currently a senator on the platform of Nigeria’s ruling party, APC, to which he decamped in 2016. He was elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.

The judge, Olasumbo Banjoko, slated Tuesday for judgement after entertaining the final address of counsel.

On Economy, Buhari gets an F9 especially at the beginning of his tenure with his trial & error policies.

But Anticorruption which he rode on, his C6 is turning to B3 ooo.

If this is "witch-hunting" as some retardinhos have been saying, let him please continue

I would give PMB B2 if he jails Saraki, A1+++ if he jails OBJ
Buhari is doing very well concerning the economy.

Forget that era of reckless spending, we were having.

We need an era of sacrifice if we are ever to move forward.

PDP how market? I hope you wont say pmb is influencing the judgement this time around. It has been proven that those who join APC are not branded saints. Let me see who will tell me we are not in the era of positive revolution under pmb. So many things that use to look impossible are now happening in the right direction.

Apart from the fact that Buhari can never be life president.

Are you seriously saying you do not know that the typical anarchists would claim that those convicted are Northern minority Christians who are being persecuted?

Some would even say that their trial did not begin under the Buhari regime.
My brother, these things tire me.
