aletheia: Just quote from another media house, not thisday(pdp) media house where BUHARI SAID ABACHA DID NOT STEAL ANY MONEY. just quote it, don't show me any quote from thisday man. I mean from another paper especially the allafrica you posted, where did he say it didn't steal the way it was posted at the begining of this thread, just quote Buhari saying that from the news article (allafrica). Thank you. |

^ Which 5 Nigerian newspapers do you recognise? Give me names and I assure you, you will get the link. Don't be scared. It wont hurt that much. |

10cirenoh: It is true that people fail to see things that go against their closely cherished delusions. Please refer to this post: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-607825.64.html#msg8030136 You will see that it is from the Leadership Newspaper (I deliberately included it because I knew you people will hide under the excuse of ThisDay). The ball is now in your court. Pay attention to the portions underlined in red. |

I am beginning to see reasons why this corrupt sharia zealot called Buhari must be fully exposed. |

karl max: Is it just me or is it true that most of GEJ's supporters are usually Semi-Illiterates? |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by babytoun: 9:09pm On Apr 01, 2011 |
GenBuhari: Is that your best punch? I am not a PDP supporter for all I care i will only vote for GEJ in the presidential election. We are voting candidates. My point remains that Buhari is not a saint as he fraudulently claims. Somehow I have come to see that once Nigerians start seeing Buhari for who he is with respect to corruption , you guys have nothing else to sell. |

All Buhari haters, its time to take a break, Ok? I getting sick of this. |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by efisher(m): 10:08pm On Apr 01, 2011 |
OK, GAME OVER. OBVIOUSLY, THE BB GROUP HAS GIVEN UP. We therefore conclude that BB supporters are scared to their bones. For failing to face the challenge, I will provide just one nice cool link from the most widely read newspaper in Nigeria (PUNCH): http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art2008061414595220 In our usual brotherly manner, we remind you that the fresh air camp is still open. Though you have trapped yourselves in a rathole, we do not mind welcoming you with open arms. You remain Nigerians and we wish you goodluck all the same. [size=21pt]Fresh Air 2011!! [/size]

^Thanks; I actually forgot about the Punch Newspaper; so I didn't extend my search to their archives. Here's more:
Reactions: The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project and the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights on Tuesday faulted statements credited to former Generals Muhammadu Buhari, Abdulsalami Abubakar and Ibrahim Babangida that the late Gen. Sani Abacha did not loot the nation’s treasury. General Muhammadu Buhari’s latest comment, alongside his military colleagues, generals Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar, exonerating the late General Sani Abacha of financial misappropriation while in office, has been described as a big disappointment to Nigerians. A former military governor of Kaduna State, Col. Abubakar Umar (rtd), on Monday in Kaduna, described those exonerating the late head of state,General Sani Abacha from the looting of the nation’s treasury as hypocrites. |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by 10cirenoh: 5:33am On Apr 02, 2011 |
aletheia: You still hasn't said anything different from what your pals have been saying, i said quote Buhari where he said Abacha didn't steal, all he said was that all the allegation against Abacha hasn't been confirmed, they were all allegations that were not verified by the law court, all we kept hearing was "money returned from swissbank" Abacha couldn't have been the sole person sending the money there, there should have been other people involve in the stealing, why hasn't anyone of these people been tried and jailed? or did Abacha singlehandedly open the account, carry money from Nigeria down there without using someone or some people to have that done? Anyways back to what you claim Buhari said, like your papers said, he said "all the allegations against Abacha are yet to be confirmed nor has he been found guilty since there are no facts nor evidence to back it up". One more thing, i heard his son was been tried, the last time i saw him, he was walking around a free man, so if his father or himself stole that much, why hasn't PDP and cohort jailed him for stealing that much and why hasn't he be made to vomit whichever money he stole? |

^ My good friend, that debate has long been concluded. It's stuffy in there. Come out, Relax and have a breath of FRESH AIR. |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by aletheia(m): 2:45pm On Apr 02, 2011 |
10cirenoh:In a way I pity you. You refuse to accept the truth because you are under the effect of cognitive dissonance. Let me help you make the logical connection 1) Buhari made this statement in 2008. Go to post #92 here. Look again at the newspaper extracts especially the parts underlined in red. Even a child that can read understands that Buhari said Abacha was not corrupt. 2) Go to post #78 here: download the attached pdf. Visit the included link, for the court judgments. They are in German/French. You can use Google Translate 3) The highpoint of the Abacha case was 2005. So I guess that Buhari thought by 2008, Nigerians would have forgotten about it, so he told that egregious lie. 10cirenoh:Of course, Sani Abacha was aided and abetted by Mohammed Abacha and others. "Carry money"? Do you think money laundering involves physically ferrying cash? *smh* 10cirenoh:Cognitive dissonance. 10cirenoh:Cognitive dissonance. Your statement shows you did not read a single post. Mohammed Abacha has been made to vomit some of what he stole. For more answers to your question go here and here And since you don't believe Nigerian newspapers, try here |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by Dave6: 4:03pm On Apr 02, 2011 |
Well, from what I can see there are a lot of links/references to show that Buhari made such a statement in 2008. All the newspapers just couldn't gang up to publish lies against him. But think deeply for a while here pls; It is said that Buhari is a very principled person who would not want to associate himself with any form of corruption and many of his supporters date this attribute from when he was a military ruler. The Question: Why did he decide to be part of Abacha's government despite his strict principles? No, seriously, we all know how Abacha's gov't was. So gist like the gov't wasn't corrupt shouldn't even come up. And one more tthing, if Buhari could say allegations of Abacha's looting were not backed by facts, I really wonder what sort of war on corruption he would embark upon when given a slight opportunity to be president; at least, from past records we would expect it to look something like his executed PTF projects. Won't we? |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by efisher(m): 4:07pm On Apr 02, 2011 |
@Dav.e, My brother, that is exactly what we have been drumming into the heads of Nigerians ooo. Especially the educated ones who should not easily be swayed by intangible and unmeasurable superhero abilities. |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by Dave6: 5:22pm On Apr 02, 2011 |
@ efisher I can understand with the BB followers; many Nigerians have gone through a lot of pain through most of the 12 years of democracy, of which PDP had been the ruling party. But still, this BB thing is not the way. It's just a campaign driven largely by emotion and sentiment. Apart from 'removing the PDP', what else is there to achieve? I and many well-meaning Nigerians on ground (and not on the internet pls) refuse to be taken away by this online 'wildfire' of display of tantrums and sentiments. What I will support and be part of is a credible and formidable opposition built up not months toward elections, but from day 1 of inaugration of President GEJ, regardless of his efforts in the following 4 years, with the sole aim of achieving the Best for my country, my generation, for me. For BB supporters, you all know within your hearts that the sole reason you support Buhari s because you want a political party (PDP) out of power ( Understandable ), and you know your CPC candidate is not the candidate we (Nigerians) sought for. This is not a game of football. This is your future! I try to imagine a Buhari-led gov't, sincerely, I see no difference. It might even get worse. Pls support your Buhari to the polls. But I advise you, from the moment the results are announced, make up your mind to begin the build-up of a formidable and credible opposition, driven by true and selfless passion, being represnted by true individuals with the interest of our nation as a whole at heart. |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by efisher(m): 5:37pm On Apr 02, 2011 |
Exactly. I will gladly support a Sanusi Lamido / Raji Fashola or Okonjo Iweala ticket on a stronger platform like ACN or whateva party they choose. Of the current opposition parties, the Ribadu / Adeola ticket is even far better than the BB ticket. If you look at the big picture, they have more to offer. We need an opposition that is not just an "opposition" but a better alternative. BB has only promised probes, probes and probes for the next 4 years. A more serious candidate will promise probes AS WELL AS have detailed plans for addressing the key issues we face. It is like what happened to the Israelites when they left Egypt (Military Rule). It took them so much time to get to the promise land and that made them desire to go back to Egypt! Look at the topics discussed in the forum and see topics like: "Was the military rule better?" or, "Did the colonial masters leave us too early?" Those questions sound very much like: "Should we bring back Buhari?" or "Should we bring back IBB?". These ideas are a result of frustration with the process of change. If we really need change, we should go for outright change and not try to recycle Something out of Nothing. |

God bless Alitheia, Agaba123 and Efisher (Amen). I am impress with your debt of knowledge on issues. I have been well educated with your information on Buhari. I cannot be deceived. GEJ has my vote. |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by efisher(m): 8:58pm On Apr 03, 2011 |
^ Amen. You are welcome. Goodluck to you, Goodluck Nigeria. |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by Nobody: 11:47am On Apr 04, 2011 |
Abacha probably looted . Abacha is now deceased. Nobody has provided credeible proof that BUhari said Abacha never looted. If Buhari commented about Abacha and looting, what was his exact words? We know that two or more news papers carried the same claim, does that automatically make it accurate? There is no credible evidence that Buhari said those words. |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by babytoun: 12:08pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
This self-acclaimed anti_corruption czar after absolving Abacha of corruption is now working with IBB and another known criminal Abdul- salami abubakar to win the presidential elections in a bid to sustain the zoning he has hitherto publicly disdained. |

Yes o Abacha is a saint in BB's book of anti-corruption |
Re: Abacha Never Stole, Say Buhari by Nobody: 12:12pm On Mar 25, 2012 |
It is now clear to me that Buhari was right and Abacha never looted. Evil twosome of Babangida and Obasanjo conspired and manufactured witnesses and evidence in foreign courts to make it appear Abacha looted, in order to discredit him. https://www.nairaland.com/823498/abacha-patriotic-never-stole-obasanjo/11#10457933 |
