the zabaari massacre and how Buhari reacted

Like any other matter of public consumption bullshit is meant primarily to satisfy the hunger of its manufacturer, for you have to believe in your own delusion in order to make people have a share in it.
You can tell a politician is lying when they claim they want fairness for all. They're part of and represent an unfair elite who will never share their wealth, power or opportunities with the underclass.

Really

Useless military. inefficient, ˈleɪzi old politicians wearing military uniform and claiming to be soldiers

Stupidity

If one of the highest-paid employees in your company fails at his job for 2 years and is fired and then rehired years later, but fails terribly for another 5 years running, would you pat him on the back and "support his effort with prayers"?

SW. Waiting for your responses. we are done with Buhari take him to Lagos

FG loves to deceive itself. Protest that is a democratic right has now been twisted into an act of terrorism just because they feel that will be enough to intimidate youths from trying to voice there grievances to the incompetent Buhari regime.

EXCLUSIVE: Bank documents expose how Amosun wired millions to President Buhari from Ogun State treasury
Ibikunle Amosun was long a top benefactor of Muhammadu Buhari, but why did the financial support continue well into his presidency?

NIMI PRINCEWILL • DECEMBER 2, 2020

Muhammadu Buhari and Ibikunle Amosun
Prior to his return to power in 2015, Muhammadu Buhari was hardly viewed as a wealthy former military ruler — and even his critics occasionally acknowledged his so-called austere personality.

In the years leading to his 2015 election, there were reports that Mr. Buhari was being sustained by his friends and political associates, including Ibikunle Amosun who supported his fated presidential run in 2015.

But Mr. Buhari’s rise to Nigerian presidency in May 2015 introduced instant fortunes into his immediate family: a fleet of luxury aircraft, a row of fortified palatial mansions, luxury cars, helicopters, presidential dining, evolving wardrobe, a monthly income that runs into millions. The benefits are almost endless — all on the Nigerian taxpayers.

Yet, Mr. Amosun, a serving senator who was Ogun State governor between 2011 and 2019, transferred N12.5 million of Ogun taxpayers’ funds to Mr. Buhari’s personal bank account, according to bank records obtained by Peoples Gazette.

The September 8, 2016, transaction was authorised from Ogun State Government Expenditure Account, which the Gazette’s findings revealed was directly under Mr. Amosun’s control.

It was also unclear whether or not a voucher was raised for the transaction. At least two officials in Ogun State accountant-general’s office said they could not trace any payment advice before the transaction went to the president.

“There is no voucher relating to any direct or indirect payment to President Muhammadu Buhari in 2016 in our filing system,” a senior civil servant at the accountant-general’s office said. “It was possible that a voucher was not raised by the governor before the transaction was processed.”

The officials said it was quite common under Mr. Amosun for transfers to be done directly from the state treasury without requisite documentation, especially if the governor had a direct interest in such payments.



Waheed Odusile, Ogun State information commissioner, did not immediately return calls seeking comments from the Gazette. Neither Mr. Amosun nor his spokesman returned a request seeking comments.

Presidential spokesmen Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu did not return multiple requests for comments seeking clarification for the transaction.

‘Raided treasury’

Ogun State under Mr. Amosun has long concealed the state’s finances from the public, but a trove of financial records recently obtained by the Gazette has exposed his questionable handling of public funds.


Mr. Amosun has been amongst the closest allies of President Buhari since 2015, enjoying some of the rarest federal benefits in the last four years of his governorship tenure.

In 2019, Mr. Amosun was protected when he was exposed as a dangerous gunrunner in a series of investigation by Premium Times.

Despite illegally importing at least 1000 AK-47 rifles and over two million bullets, the Buhari administration has continued to shield Mr. Amosun from facing the law. Security analysts said Mr. Amosun’s action, no doubt, would have contributed to Nigeria’s endemic insecurity.

Arisekola Bakare, a Sagamu-based lawyer and public affairs analysts, said Mr. Amosun’s ties to Mr. Buhari had long emboldened his recklessness as a politician.



“He seemed to have raided Ogun State treasury for his allies, who now appear to include the president himself based on your findings,” Mr. Bakare told the Gazette. “I think everyone can now see why Amosun has been very sad and reckless in Ogun State and beyond.”

Mr. Bakare said he might approach the court to compel anti-graft officials to investigate the fund because of its inexplicable context.

“We have long known that Amosun was funding Buhari before Buhari became president,” Mr. Bakare said. “But we may need to go to court to understand why Amosun was still using Ogun State money to support a whole president while abandoning millions of residents in poverty and deprivation.”

“By the time we get to court, more of such alarming and unjustifiable transfers might come to public light for our people to know how they were robbed by a man who claimed to be their governor for eight years,” the legal practitioner added.

The JNI is right. I think the sultan may soon call on adherents to boycott the current leadership.

Buhari is a big failure

Maga don pay They will thief the money.

In as much as I like it, it will be nice if they convert it to equipment, I mean weaponry

Stupid, corrupt, selfish people. At this point scrap Nigeria. I'm in support of scrapping the whole system. People trade their freedom for little sense of security but the government can't provide security. Scrap the system let everyone protect their community and their families. Stupid Brits form Nigeria for there own benefits

So very undiplomatic, insensitive & stupendous. A whole COS, hopelessly instilling fears in the minds of Nigerians. Must he give reasons to further aligned with the alleged connivance rants? Lots keep wondering why PMB is still convinced to retained these failed Service Chiefs. stupid man.

The confidence in this man's ineptitude is worrisome.

His inability to admit the stunning totality of his failure tells you everything you need to know about a failed Government.

By Bolaji Ogundele, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has agreed to face the House of Representatives to address the country on recent security crisis bugging the nation.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, disclosed this to State House Correspondents after a meeting with President Buhari in his office at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, Wednesday evening.

It would be recalled that the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, passed a resolution, inviting the President to the chambers of the House to answer questions over the security situation in the country.

The summon on the President was a reaction to the unabated activities of terrorists and bandits in different parts of the country, especially in the north, and the killing of tens of rice farmers in Zabarmari community, Borno State, over the weekend.

Although the agreed date was not disclosed, Gbajabiamila said the President would honour the summon and provide required enlightenment on security developments across the country.

“We came here to see the President, he was ever so willing to listen as typical of Mr. President the usual democrat that he is. And what we basically sought was to convey the resolution of the House and to fix a date, which we did not fix out of respect for Mr. President, and his very tight schedule when a date will be convenient, we have agreed on a date he will meet with the House to address the situation.

“We will communicate the date to you, he is a perfect democrat and he will come to the House to address members and it will be in the nearest future.

“He is coming to talk to Nigerians through the House. You know the House as we have it, as it is constituted, all of Nigeria is present in the House, every single constituency in this country is represented in the House. You shouldn’t look at it as Mr. President talking to the House, he is talking to Nigerians through their representatives,” he said.

Asked how he perceived the President might be reacting to the security situation in the country, Gbajabiamila said “I think he is more concerned than me or you, that’s what I can say. You know they say uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, we will leave everything until when he comes to the House, let me not preempt him, but all I can tell you right now is that he is fully committed to the security, the welfare, lives and property of Nigerians.”

It would be recalled that the Senate, on Tuesday, also passed a resolution, which among other things, called on the President to sack all service chiefs, noting that the administration has failed to secure lives of Nigerians.

Is true thou. He still does

Hang them publicly

Rubbish, attention seeker. You think umahi or APC will pay you out for this rubbish

They hate everyone. Best part in the article
"Lack of intellectual capacity of the average evo and a lack of awareness of our cultural values. We are the type that look to outsiders for solutions to our problems, and are we quick to pass the blame to others for our problems; Even to persons who have never been responsible for an overt act of marginalisation towards our people.
Is, therefore, any Igbo person will hate Bola Tinubu in Lagos? Sure, one can make an argument for the Igbo being indifferent towards his person. However, even at that, the man is an entrepreneur and, of course, a powerful politician – characteristics that are far more likely to elicit feelings of hate and contempt from the average Igbo man. They call him a bigot or tribalist, with evidence in social media and in persons. In fact, if anything, the evidence of his political career suggests a man who favours tribalism and corruption over competence or religious considerations.
