Former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has released a list of those he termed the \u201creal looters lists\u201d.<\/p>\n
In a post on Facebook by his spokesman, Reno Omokri, Jonathan said the list, made up of top shots of the All Progressives Congress, is one President Muhammadu Buhari and the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, do not want Nigerians to see.<\/p>\n
Omokri, a pastor, who wrote a book on Jonathan, wrote: \u201cA few days ago, the fallacious minister of information, the rightly named Lai Mohammed, whose first name rhymes with his life\u2019s calling, released a so called \u2018looters list\u2019 with six names of alleged looters.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter he was ridiculed by civil society, the opposition and the international community, Mr. Lai Mohammed hurriedly put out a statement tagging his list a \u2018teaser\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen that lie refused to fly, the notorious fibber, Lai Mohammed, released yet another list yesterday, April 1, 2018.<\/p>\n
\u201cCoincidentally, April 1 is April Fools day and it was befitting that Lai released his list on that day because only a fool will believe the list he put together.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis list did not contain even one member of the All Progressive Congress. If the list proves anything, it is that President Buhari, Lai Mohammed and their All Progressive Congress are not fighting corruption. Instead they are fighting opposition.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have taken the pains to produce a \u2018teaser\u2019 looters list of APC members who are collectively alleged to have looted over $2 billion (when you convert the dollar value of what they allegedly looted at the time they allegedly looted it).<\/p>\n
\u201cI challenge President Buhari and Lai Mohammed to explain why these men did not feature on their list and why they continue to remain in this APC government where they wield immense powers and influence, even over the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that is meant to prosecute them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI further challenge President Buhari and Lai Mohammed to explain to Nigerians why they failed to reveal to Nigerians that President Buhari himself is a MAJOR beneficiary of the funds that the former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki, received from the treasury for the security of Nigerians.<\/p>\n
\u201cI assure Nigerians that Sambo Dasuki is not in jail for a crime he committed in 2015. He is rather being persecuted for a \u2018crime\u2019 he committed in 1985.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease find below the teaser list of looters.<\/p>\n
\u201cNote that this is just a teaser. Depending on the reaction of the Buhari led government, more names will be released.<\/p>\n
\u201c#LootersList<\/p>\n
\u201cRotimi Amaechi: Indicted by the Justice George Omeregi led Rivers State Judicial Commission of Inquiry of looting N97 billion along with co indictees including a former army general.<\/p>\n
\u201cSaminu Turaki: Alleged to have looted N36 billion. First charged before Justice Sabi\u2019u Yahuza of the Federal High Court in Dutse, Jigawa State. Currently facing trial before justice Nnamdi Dimgba at the FCT High Court.<\/p>\n
\u201cTimipre Sylva: A well known financier and supporter of the APC administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. Alleged to have looted N19.7 billion. Was facing trial before Justice A. Y. Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja. However, two days after President Buhari was sworn in, the new APC government WITHDREW the charges preferred against Sylva on June 1, 2015 and on October 3, 2015, the EFCC returned to Sylva, 48 houses seized from him during the administration of former president, Goodluck Jonathan in 2013 to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cMurtala Nyako: Alleged to have looted N29 billion. Currently facing trial before Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja<\/p>\n
\u201cSenator Danjuma Goje: Alleged to have looted N25 billion. Currently facing trial before the Federal High Court, sitting in Jos, Plateau State.<\/p>\n
\u201cSenator Abdullahi Adamu: Alleged to have looted N15 billion with the help of 18 co accused. Charged on March 3, 2010. The case continues to linger in court.<\/p>\n
\u201cOrji Kalu: Alleged to have looted N3.2 billion. Currently facing trial before Justice Mohammed Idris of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.<\/p>\n
\u201cKayode Fayemi: Indicted by the Ekiti Judicial Commission of Inquiry headed by former Ekiti State chief judge and the Oluyin of Iyin-Ekiti, Ademola Ajakaiye, of sundry financial malfeasance totaling over N2 billion.<\/p>\n
\u201cSenator Joshua Dariye: Alleged to have looted N1.2 billion. Currently facing trial before Justice Adebukola Banjoko at an FCT High Court.<\/p>\n
\u201cBabachir Lawal: former Secretary to the Government of the Federation. Allegedly gave a N200 million contract to his own company from monies meant to look after Internally Displaced Persons. Has been sacked after protest by the opposition and civil society. Has still not been charged. Was allowed to be replaced by his own cousin.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the omission of these names, the Buhari led Federal Government has vindicated Transparency International.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccording to Transparency International\u2019s Corruption Perception Index, Nigeria is more corrupt today under Buhari than at any other time since Transparency International started keeping records!<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have moved 12 places backward from 136 to 148. Yet this administration has the guts to accuse a government under whom Nigeria made her best ever progress on the Corruption Perception Index of corruption?<\/p>\n
We moved from 144 to 136 in 2014 under President Jonathan because that government fought corruption in court and not through the media.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
