Falana Blasts Buhari Over Presidential Form ‘loan’ by Nobody: 11:00am On Oct 24, 2014
Senior lawyer, Femi Falana, has faulted the decision of a presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammad Buhari, to take out a bank loan to purchase his party’s intent form for the presidential race.

Mr. Falana spoke on Thursday in Abeokuta at the 2014 Press Week of the Paramount F.M chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Ogun State Council, on the topic, Current Security Challenges; Implications For 2015 Election.

“That action of taking bank loan is indefensible. I have condemned it and political parties should do something about that. If you are obtaining loans for forms, what about elections? Elections cost billions in Nigeria and that should be discouraged,” Mr. Falana said.

He enjoined Nigerians to shun ethnic, religious and other primordial sentiments in voting in candidates.

He said what Nigerians should look out for are qualities that will fix roads, reduce poverty and deal with insecurity issue.

Similarly, Mr. Falana charged the media not to extend undue favour to any candidate or political party. He said their report should also be issue based, while more effort should be directed at fighting corruption.

Mr. Falana stressed that only individuals with competence and commitment should get Nigerians’ votes.

On local government autonomy, Mr. Falana said in the true sense of the word, no arm of government in Nigeria is truly autonomous, arguing that as long as states continued to run to Abuja for survival, autonomy exists only on paper.

If he had to collect loan to purchase a form, where would he then see the money to fund campaigns/rallies The last time I checked, billions of naira were expended for that purpose alone, not even now that stomach infastructure has come to stay sad

So much for Integrity and inorruption
see wind don blow "progressive governor"s "yan.sh" of wastage of government resources

APC and Hypocrisy.
Fayemi and his N100million naira bed is a story worth telling at home, church, mosque, pub, in the bus and even in the grave.
The concluding part is that those that blamed and harassed and haunted and hounded Princess Stella Oduah Ogiemwonyi for buying armoured car have suddenly gone asleep over this satanic bed procured by Fayemi.
Where is Femi Falana, Wole Soyinka and all other pseudo human rights activists? Why double standard? How do you define profligacy, stealing and crime than that a Ekiti that could not pay salary of its workers can spend N100million on sleeping mattress, duvet, pillow and pillow cases for the governor and his wife.
Why should the governor and his wife sleep in separate rooms at State expenses. Now, we know why Ekiti people booted out Fayemi and his N100million bed.
How much does his bathroom slippers, toothbrush and sponge cost? May be N15million. We are yet to add executive pyjamas and I'm sure even the gossy water Fayemi drink might have cost Ekiti State as much as N5000 per bottle.
Shame on our human right community who always go asleep each time APC Molests Nigeria. Shame on those APC members who masquerade as human right activists.
Where is our Oby Ezekwesili and Other human rights activists?

Hmm only GEJ and pdp are "corrupt".... APC are not corrupt ehh! Lets call a spade a spade.. even Buhari is corrupt...

Re: Falana Blasts Buhari Over Presidential Form ‘loan’ by Nobody: 1:31pm On Oct 24, 2014
His saying he borrowed from a bank is not even that big a problem. It only shows how unqualified he is to vie for the highest seat in the country.
If he couldn't manage all his pensions and loots to be able to glean a paltry 26m for his form, is it the national treasury he can handle?

I can remember one clown telling me in the other thread that he used his 'integrity' as a collateralcheesy....lmao

Yes o my brother, he actually started from the bottom little wonder he has been able to increase fuel pump price from 65naira to 97naira. embarassed His late predecessor that did not start from the bottom reduce it from 70naira to 65naira.


We are waiting for the next encouragement campaign slogan for 2015.

For the man that went to borrow to finance his nomination form, all of them na strategy aimed at deceiving the masses. shocked

Fayemi didn't buy each bed for N50m as the propaganda has tried to make Nigerians believe. And that is a government house for Ekiti, not Fayemi's.

The fact that a man that is aspiring to lead Nigeria has the temerity to state that he took out a loan to purchase a nomination form says it all.

In a sane society, that singular assertion should be ample enough to cost him the nomination.

He must either be a stark financial illiterate or an ignorant lawbreaker not to know that banks are not allowed to bankroll political activities.

The man should better be enjoying his retirement than continue to expose himself to further humiliation.

you guys obviously have a problem with comprehension and ithat falana is even more pathetic as a supposed SAN.
let me give you all an example. lets say I have about million naira in my bank account. and I want to buy a car which would cost me #950,000. it is the responsibility of my account manager to turn down the cheque request to purchase the car seeing that it would leave my account in red as he is looking out for my best interest financially. but if the said car is very important to me and I am credit worthy, even if its a little bit above the amount I have left in my account, I can request from the bank manager to honour it.
Buhari never said he took a bank loan to purchase the form. all he stated was he had asked his bank manager to honour the check even if that would leave his account balance in red, black or green.
The media in this country is even doing more harm than the thieving politicians I swear
