Anti-corruption crusade: Buhari’s selective, insincere, says PDP and Nigerians
You are here: HOME / NEWS / Anti-corruption crusade: Buhari’s selective, insincere, says PDP, Nigerians
Our editors and the team of global news observers after a painstaking research and reach out to different human comments, forums and public social media opinions comments by Nigerian at Home we noted that one of the most important factors that will test the credibility of the newly elected Nigeria President His Excellency Mohammadu Buhari's Administration and anti-corruption crusade may be his ability or inability to deal squarely with the corrupt without regard to favoritism, selective or chase shadows in vendetta.
Many facts points to the realities that the President has himself surrendered with too many corrupt politicians who are already his close Party members, friends and associates and were proving indeed they used their money or per say the stolen money from their states under their watch to sponsor the President campaign. No one seem yet to take the President anti-corruption crusade seriously as they hold that if such men like Ex-Governor Rotimi Amaechi and his kind where not brought to book, PMB might end up rooting himself and his party against the people.
However, before we take you to what Nigerians are saying, lets first have a clue of what PMB said at Washington to the world
"The President, who is currently on a
four-day visit to the United States President, Barack Obama, said this
during an interview with the CNN anchor, Christiane Amanpour.
“If any of my associates or party member
is indicted of corruption, they cannot escape justice. There is not
going to be any APC member or any close personality found guilty that
would escape justice,” he said.
Please hear what Nigerians are saying:
How can Buhari prosecute somebody that financed his presidential
campaign ?of course the fight against corruption is for Buhari enemies
if not,how could we explain the immunity Amaechi, Atiku and Tinubu enjoys
being Buhari's men.
As I write:
1) Buhari claims to be paying subsidy but how many times have Nigerians bought fuel at N87 since he became President? Drive around Lagos 70% of stations have no product to sell.
2) Even NNPC stations have been selling for N100 or N110 or N120 since our messiah became President. Who is Messiah Buhari paying subsidy to?
3) Food prices are rising steadily
4) The naira now exchange for about N250 to the dollar
5) Boko are killing like never before
6) Stock markets are losing trillions. Investors are leaving in droves
7) The country right now is without direction.
Nigerians who are old enough and understand the politics of this
country are just laughing at the charade going on to amuse the West
about fighting corruption. Can Buhari swear with the Koran that he is
not aware that Amaechi spent/loot Rivers states money in his winning his
primaries in Lagos and during the presidential campaigns? We are
waiting for the trials and the recovery of 150 billion dollars to
begin..
It is indeed better to talk about the issue of not sparing those who
are found culpable in APC, as far as corruption is concerned and as
reiterated by President Buhari. What Buhari said here made me to
remember an incident that happened during the lifetime of the first
Muhammad, an unlettered prophet who is the best of mankind, in Arabian
Penisula, when he vowed to cut off his one and only daughter's hands if
she ever committed act of stealing.
What is happening today also happened in those ancient days where mighty, powerful and rich people would be contacted to meet people in authority and then plead on behalf of those who are convicted or suspected to have engaged in any act of corruption. The best example is in that unlettered first Muhammad that Buhari emulates.
When prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was contacted by one of powerful, prominent and rich associates of the prophet, as regards pleading on behalf of a popular, rich woman who committed an act of stealing despite her position in the society, the first Muhammad said, unequivocally, that he would never accept such plea on behalf of a rich thief.
He then added that: "by God, If my only child and daughter ever steals, I will not hesitate to cut off her hands." (O Mr President!) You have indeed in the Messanger of God (the first Muhammad) an excellent exemplar.... ( Q33:21)."

Then if he's not going to spear, Amechi'll be number 1, seconded by
Aregbasola, followed by Fashola when talking about most corrupt APC
governors.
The way things work is that the people of the state or the current
government should right petitions exposing the frauds committed by
Amaechi with evidences to EFCC or ICPC and copy presidency and other
relevant authorities. EFCC will then move in. PMB does not point anybody
to EFCC to go and probe, mind you. If with PDP in saddle in Rivers,
they can't expose frauds of Amaechi (if any) then, shame on them. They
should stop their kindergarten accusations.
Everyone that lives in Rivers State understands your stand.Amaechi
with the IGR and revenue from Federation account should have turned
Rivers to one of the model state in the country.I feel sorry for him
when Buhari will have no choice but to move against him in order not to
rubbish his anti-corruption crusade.
God bless you. I hate people chasing shadow, when the one they love
misbehaves. And the same people will suddenly become harsh and abusive
when the one opposite them misbehave, what a life. Why can't we call a
spade a spade!

We are patiently waiting for Wike to do that which Amaechi failed to do. According to OBJ, he said " we did our best but if you think we didn't do enough, wait for your turn and do better " that is wisdom!
