Allegations.Innuendos.what’s your evidence?
Defenders of corruption usually counter
with this puerile talk. for one, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Furthermore, the 2015 charges of 108.1bn misappropriation against Akpabio would have taken a different turn if we lived in a country of quality people. Nigeria is not a country of quality people despite the religion- addiction & bags Of degrees.
Yes, that’s how Akpabio ,now Senate president ‘got away’ with 108.1bnaira.If Akpabio is innocent as claimed by his supporters, why defect to APC in 2018?
Idiagbon was so confident of his honesty that against advice of highly-placed friends ,he flew back to Nigeria even after being overthrown.
Jakande was tried 3 times in 1984 and no corruption was traced to him. Peter Obi was Governor for 8 years but EFCC didn’t bother to investigate as they already knew he was honest with public funds.
That the then EFCC chairman did not resign when ordered by BUHARI to close Akpabio’s file is another ‘how’ Akpabio got away with over 100bnaira.100bnaira can lift 30million persons out of poverty in 24 hours.
100bn can create 500Mw of electricity, powering 3 million homes.so why didn’t the then EFCC chairman resign when it was obvious Akpabio jumped ship to avoid corruption trial and likely conviction?Akpabio paid ‘welcome’ money or ‘membership dues’ to the national coffers of APC? why not?
Or have we quickly forgotten Adams Oshiomhole’s shameless talk of join APC and ‘your sins will be forgiven?’the average nigerian is the no.1 hypocrite in the world.we attend churches&mosques everyday but we’re one of the most Immoral people on planet earth.
Imagine how the anti-corruption struggle would have been resurrected if the EFCC boss had resigned and publicly stated his reasons. When Thomas Jefferson resigned from General Washington’s cabinet, he was in debt but the prospect of compromising and getting money to pay his debts never crossed his mind.
A society deserves the leader it gets; Nigerians are one of the most Immoral persons in the world: fraudsters are praised, drug dealers are voted for and General Overseers keep mute as the plunder ravages the land.in other climes ,sheikh Gumi, Pastor Adeboye will be leading massive protests against evil governments Nigerians have been saddled with since 1999.
of course,he is not.the damages his worship of anything ‘Tinubu’ is the nonsense.and this harks to how you can get away with an evil in nigeria:rubber stamp my policies even If they are evil policies-policies of starvation then you can go home after 4 years and enjoy your loot.
As aforementioned, Nigerians are one of the most Immoral people in the world. Immorality is beyond sex or corruption .Seeing evil and having the ‘powers’ to prevent it is itself an evil’s reputable electronic media organization based in Lagos was expected to be the ‘Wikileaks’ of Nigeria; it failed. This media outlet embraced greed. This is distasteful and shameful considering that it has accumulated over 1billion views on its YouTube channel!
An Immoral media is one of the ‘how’s’ in respect of Akpabio’s case . media investigation forced Nixon, the then most powerful man in the world to resign.
An Akwa Ibom lawyer in 2018,had approached this outlet with facts about corruption allegations against Akpabio.It was not taken up.obviisly,it was more interested in cozying up to government.a lethargic media ,I mean media houses with the resources to conduct investigative journalism,is one of the ‘hows’ to get away with over a 100billion naira.today’s national government is occupied by persons who haven’t cleared their names of corruption charges:Bola Tinubu,George Akume,Godswill Akpabio,Bello Matawalle,Orji Kalu…and guess what?the EFCC chairman who knew in and out of their files is now their employee-Nuhu Ribadu,the National security adviser!
Akpabio’s case is one among many but it is a reflection of the reality that You can be satan and put millions through depression and penury by corruption yet walk free.China has executed over 300 persons for corruption in the last 3xyears.how many Governors,Senators are in jail today.by the way,where did Seyi Tinubu get the’ 500million ‘from?
Good copy from James Akinloye. This article is indeed wake,_up call to corrupt politicians in Nigeria
