One dangerous adventure to undertake as a man of "integrity" is delve into Nigerian politics. While you are there, especially if you don't have that "power" as it were, you will have to dance to the tune of those that play your political drum of relevance. It is therefore, highly discouraging, dehumanizing as well as disheartening for a person of Prof Osinbajo to lay claims without proper verification, even as a professor of law.
Earlier today (Monday) when I read a threat on Nairaland concerning the discharge and dismissal of the case of Timipre Sylva, the former Governor of the oil-rich Bayelsa state, by the EFCC, over a corrupt case of over N2 Billion, I hurriedly remembered what our dear VP said about the Jonathan administration in 2014 over shielding (housing) corrupt persons.
According to the presidential running mate of Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), "it is saddening that under Jonathan’s government, there is no consequence for corruption.”

My questions now are:
1. If there is a consequence for corruption under Buhari, why did Buhari make the same Sylva head of his transition committee?

2. If according to the VP, there was no consequence for corruption under GEJ, what is therefore the consequence of corruption for the magical release of Sylva just less than 3 days into office by the anti-corruption crusaders?

3. Just a couple of days ago, Buhari said he will not spare any corrupt leader. What is now the justification for Buhari's mingling with the very people (corrupt leaders) he 'intends' to fight?

In conclusion, since the VP kept mute on the appointment of Sylva (with a known corrupts case) to head their transition committee, and also on the premature dismissal of Sylva's case by the EFCC, it therefore means that he has totally contradicted what Buhari 'stands' for - the anti-curroption crusader!

Lalasticlala, Ishilove, Mogidi, Barcanista, et al.

Does having a money laundry allegation or misappropriation case against you in court automatically make you a corrupt person or a criminal when you have not been convicted?

What exactly is your point young man?

I was surprised when on Saturday I noticed powersupply was more stable.

I feel it's a set up just to give GEJ a bad name.

I'm a strong supporter of PMB.

President Buhari on the 29th of May 2015 during his swearing in ceremony uttered this controversial speech that have continued to generate a lot of issues and debates from various quarters as a political Analyst we shall closely study the implication of the said speech and what it portrays for the people of Nigeria ..

Extract of the Presidential speech

***Having just a few minutes ago sworn on the Holy Book, I intend to keep my oath and serve as President to all Nigerians.
I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody.
A few people have privately voiced fears that on coming back to office I shall go after them. These fears are groundless. There will be no paying off old scores. The past is prologue******

Implications
The unsavory speech by President Buhari is a direct contradiction to the oath of office he just took few minute before then. there is no grammar as to where the allegiance of the President of Nigeria belongs it is clearly spelled out in both the Presidential oath of office and the Nigeria constitution.

President Buhari does not belong to everybody and Nobody there is no argument here or confusion He Belongs to THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF NIGERIA in fact he ceased to be an Independent man the moment he took that presidential oath and automatically become the servant of the people and must be held accountable in words and action from that very moment thereof

Below is the Presidential Oath of Office for the President and commander in Chief of Nigeria Armed Forces;

" The Constitution of Nigeria specifies an oath of office for the President of the federation. The oath is administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria or the person for the time being appointed to exercise the functions of that office:

“ I do solemnly swear/affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will discharge my duties to the best of my ability, faithfully and in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the law, and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well-being and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will strive to preserve the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy contained in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions; that I will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will abide by the Code of Conduct contained in the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that in all circumstances, I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will; that I will not directly or indirectly communicate or reveal to any person any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as President;AND THAT I WILL DEVOTE MYSELF TO THE SERVICE AND WELL -BEING OF THE PEOPLE OF NIGERIA. So help me God.



IFEDUBA THANKGOD T ( A political Analyst writes in From Anambra state)

Young man, your analysis is misleading. Anyone who have a full understanding of the position PMB now occupies would appreciate that assertive statement.

This has been before the swearing in buttressed by PMB's rejection of list for ministerial nominee from governors.

Do you remember when OBJ would always call Aso Rock to instruct Late President Musa Yar'adua? Simply because OBJ played a key role in his ascension to that position. In this case Bola Tinubu and the likes of Atiku and some others who are political big wigs.

As a political analyst you self acclaimed, what do you understand by the term defacto President?

BTW, that shirt u putting on seem like one of those N700 shirt sold in Onitsha New Market.

Pls in ur next write up and signature photo, try appear in a white shirt, red tie and maybe a black suit if you can afford it.

Am I the only one who think this should have been at the city center in Bayelsa?

Mounting it in front of his house is more like keeping it to himself and not For the state.
