Group claims Buhari is planning on prosecuting and imprisoning Jonathan

A civil rights group, Vanguard of Nigeria’s Democracy, claims that President Buhari is planning on prosecuting and imprisoning former President, Goodluck Jonathan.

We, the members of the Vanguards of Nigeria’s Democracy, are aware of some clandestine moves made by the APC-led government to probe, investigate, malign and imprison ex President Jonathan. We are already aware of the trumped-up charges the APC government is leveling against a man who has diligently served the Nigerian state at the highest level of government.

The APC led government should take notice that the appointments made so far are skewed in favour of the North, as no Ijaw man has been appointed. While an Ijaw President did not discriminate in appointment, President Buhari is implementing a Northern agenda through some of the appointments.

The group’s leader Osaghae Ogiemudia, said in a statement.

The group also added that the ongoing rivalry between Edo state governor, Adams Oshiomhole and former Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, over excess crude account and alleged billions spent on the Jonathan’s campaign is a just a way for the incumbent to level up charges against the past administration.

Reacting, SA on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said;

All these are speculations and I cannot react to speculations because there is nothing concrete yet against the former President

Buhari Turns Down Former Petroluem Minister Alison Madueke Offer To Refund $250 Million

Immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has offered to refund the sum of $250 million dollars to the Nigerian government in return for immunity from further investigation and possible prosecution, Sahara Reporters has learned. However, her overture has reportedly received a cold response from President Muhammadu Buhari.

A source in Aso Rock and a ranking member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) told our correspondent that the former minister has been reaching out to influential government and ruling party officials, in and outside Abuja, to prevail on President Buhari to accept her offer and let bygones be bygone. According to our sources, Mrs. Alison-Madueke had enlisted the support of several figures close to Mr. Buhari, including Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, to intercede with the incumbent president.

Mrs. Alison-Madueke was one of the closest ministers to former President Goodluck Jonathan, and is reputed to have anchored and facilitated numerous money-laundering scandals and deals that characterized the era of the just-ended Jonathan administration. The former Petroleum Minister oversaw several oil swap deals, the disposition of oil wells handed over by Shell Petroleum to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), and the direct looting of funds through the NNPC. Former Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, was forced out of office after he revealed that the NNPC had failed to remit more than $20 billion in oil revenues with the CBN.

The former Petroleum Minister is the latest of several officials who served under Mr. Jonathan’s government that are currently negotiating “soft landing deals” with the Buhari administration. The incumbent president, who was sworn in on May 29, 2015, has vowed to probe various questionable financial actions taken by his successor or officials of his government. Mr. Buhari is reportedly determined to recover billions of dollars in stolen funds.

One source said Mrs. Alison-Madueke’s latest offer to refund at least $250 million to the government came after she learned that President Buhari’s scheduled meeting with US Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, would include a discussion of ways that the US government could facilitate the investigation, arrest and prosecution of some officials of the Jonathan administration implicated in the theft of billions of dollars and a variety of frauds that resulted in the loss of significant sums of public funds in Nigeria.

SaharaReporters exclusively reported earlier in the week that the former Minister of Finance and the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has been cooperating with the Buhari administration’s ongoing, if quiet, probe of a series of questionable financial transactions by the Jonathan administration.

Our sources revealed that Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala had given the Buhari administration documents that expose a number of shady financial deals executed by the Jonathan administration.

Two days ago, we reported that former Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Emeka Anyaoku, had appealed to Mr. Buhari to halt the ongoing probe of former President Jonathan’s administration. Even though Mr. Anyaoku has denied that he urged Mr. Buhari to stop the investigation of his predecessor’s financial dealings, our sources insisted that the ex-Commonwealth chief executive brought up the matter.

Our sources disclosed that Mr. Buhari was unimpressed by Mrs. Alison-Madueke’s offer. “Mr. President considers the $250 million as ridiculous considering the amount of money Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke is suspected to have diverted into her pocket and those of others,” said one source.

According to our sources, Mr. Buhari is intent on ordering a full audit of deals and transactions done by the former Petroleum Minister and her cohorts in the various agencies that reported to her.

In addition, the new president is reportedly focused on looking further at the extensive embezzlement of security funds by appointees of the former president. Mr. Buhari has approved an investigation of how more than $3 billion in Nigeria’s defense budget was spent. Security agents who searched the homes of former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, reportedly carted away some revealing documents.

Earlier today, the Department of State Security (DSS) arrested and detained Gordon Obuah, a former Chief Security Officer to President Goodluck Jonathan. Mr. Obuah is reportedly being questioned over his alleged mastermind of a multi-million dollar oil bunkering deal during the former administration.

Aisha Buhari Says She Still Cooks her husband Food.

Despite the retinue of staff at the presidential villa waiting on the First Family, President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha, still cooks his food.

She made this known on Saturday while hosting some children to an elaborate reception as part of activities marking this year’s Eid-el-Fitri.

At the party held inside the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the President’s wife, after spending about two hours with the children, sought their permission to go and make dinner for her husband, who she said was alone at home.

“I’m going to leave you soon. I want to go back home to cook for my husband. Because my children are here playing with you, nobody is at home, only my husband. I want to go back home to be with him and also cook dinner for him,” she told the highly elated children.

Before her exit, she urged the children to be good ambassadors of their parents and the country. While saying that the future of the country is in the hands of children, Mrs. Buhari advised them to face their studies and be obedient to their parents.

The First Lady also admonished the children to continue to pray for other Nigerian children who are currently residing inside the different Internally Displaced Persons camps scattered all over the country because of acts of terrorism.

Telling them that the current administration attaches great importance to the welfare of children and would stop at nothing to ensure their protection and development, she said, “The future of this great country lies in your hands. You are to complement the efforts of government by working very hard in school and to be obedient to your parents.

“Tomorrow, you may be the President, the President’s wife, senators, honourable members, governors, medical doctors, teachers, journalists, engineers, nurses, lawyers and the rest of our honourable professions.”

The President’s wife also urged parents to encourage and monitor their children.

The party featured different games, dancing competition and fashion parade among others. Mrs. Buhari was accompanied by wives of some former governors.
