It will be great disservice to Nigeria if Buhari allow preemptive sentiment to over-ride genuine reasons(if any) why people should be held accountable for their actions.


If questions must be asked,they should not be targeted at specific individuals.Rather,the exercise should be holistic so as to draw a line between 'persecution' and 'prosecution'.

Bro Pls, enough of this asset talk. He decleared it publicly during campaigns. When you in government, there is a procedure and its already ungoing. Do your research properly pls.

A step in the right direction but all these wont be possible if you dont lead my example. I expect within the first 100 days that you declare your assets publicly and by so doing, you would have sent the necessary signals that it's not going to be business as usual.

The task of rebuilding Nigeria is a task that must be done.

President Muhammadu Buhari has reinforced his government’s commitment to fight corruption and to ensure offenders face the full wrath of the law.

In a Vanguard compilation of comments and thoughts of Buhari, 48 hours before his inauguration as the new Nigeria leader, he reiterated the top issues his administration will tackle after assuming office – security, unemployment, fighting corruption, infrastructure amongst others.

He said the Goodluck Jonathan administration has grounded the Nigerian system, as he acknowledged the challenges he must face to bring about the ‘change’ Nigerians are yearning for.

He said, “the biggest message is to try and persuade the people that it is not possible to change the state of affairs now. It took 16 years to get to that state of affairs. Nigeria earned more revenue during that period than what it earned from 1914 to 1999.

“We used to have Nigeria Airways, Nigerian National Shipping Line, Nigeria Railway. Where are they now? Where is the infrastructure that is commensurate with what we earned in-between, what is on ground? That is how efficiently the PDP managed Nigeria in the last 16 years."

Buhari assured that no stone will be left unturned in the fight against corruption, noting that not even immunity clause will aid the escape of anyone who is fingered and found guilty by the law.

He stated, “we will make sure that we get cooperation from the judiciary so that people who worked against the law are prosecuted, especially those who have lost their immunity, even those who think they have immunity because this is the best way to stabilize the system.

“People must not benefit from being lawless. You can’t be in a position by virtue of the Constitution, subvert the Constitution and continue to enjoy the privileges offered by the Constitution. I don’t think that will be acceptable by the APC.

“So, whether you are in the opposition or the government, you have to behave. I think that is the way we can make progress.”

The PDP grounded Nigeria Airways and Railway?!! At the start of the Fourth Republic under the PDP leadership, did any of these parastatals still exist? if anything, the PDP MUST be commended for resuscitating and expanding the railway network who's initial rot/decay and subsequent death began under GMB's regime as military Head of State. Truly this man is BRAINLESS.

This is good news.. all corrupt politicians must face the music irrespective of political affiliation...but if some corrupt politicians are exempted from prosecution thats when the whole process will become counter-productive...
Justice must stand over favouritism....

This senile vegtable and senseless Buhari who is most likely to remain very foolish will not allow people to remain where thay are and take him serious for once. Very yeye idio.t thing. We would not want any further talk talk show. He has the most corrupt Nigerians with him right there, he keeps making the highest noise like an empty drum.
Anyway, a man who had lived with cows for long time will always behave like the cows.

Blabbing!

Coming from a former Nigerian corrupt dictator who said Abacha did not steal shiit.

Who is surrounded by looters. Atiku, Bola, Fashola, Obasanjo and so many more.

Just before you quote me, I am not a fan of Goodluck Jonathan nor Obama.

I wish Nigerians well with Buhari just because I deeply care about well being of the country. But is Bihari legit? Nah he ain't shitt bro.

During the 16 years of PDP he is lamenting about, majority of his APC goons were members of PDP. Just so he know.

Read the interview again and tell me where he is wrong on this.

He clearly said that his administration will work with the judiciary to see how those with immunity can be brought to justice. Enough said.

We're so grateful to God for this moment. The moment of change is here, the end of immunity is here, we'll rise to support PMB against the corrupt national assembly to remove the barbaric clause called immunity.

NIgerian people say no to immunity clause, the cabal can't succeed in this, we voted PMB and our votes counted against the evil will of the cabals.

Immunity is on his way to otuoke with the clueless

He can't say immunity or not. With immunity anything he does will be unlawful and as such won't be accepted. I think he should first work on removing the immunity clause and then anything can go.

Only the Nigeria senate has the power to remove immunity, And I assure u that they won't.

Buhari is a pathetic man. What does he mean by immunity or not? He has to either send an executive bill to NASS and State Houses of Assembly for the removal of immunity from governors and their Deputies, or he seeks the cooperation of States legislators in impeaching their Governors/Deputies before bringing them to book. There is NO two ways about this.


He can start with Saraki, Amaechi, Atiku, Lamido etc..they have no immunity.
