GOV. JIM NWOBODO, ANAMBRA STATE Was jailed for 22 years for corruption by the Military tribunal in 1984. Set against this is his record of corruption and abuse of office as governor in the Second Republic. Convicted for an array of corrupt practices by Gen. Buhari’s tribunals, the indictment of Jim Nwobodo by Air Vice-Marshal Muktar Mohammed and the dressing-down given him for sordid acts of corruption remain embedded in the memory of those who thought we had “”progressive” governors in Nigeria. After his release and subsequent appointment as minister he has been associated with one scandal or the other.This was also captured in the book "Civil-military Relations, Nation Building, and National Identity" AFTER REALEASE: He was released by the Babangida Administration. Jim Nwobodo was at the forefront of Abacha's Life Presidency and led party Chieftains in Presidential jet to adopt Abacha as the party flagbearer at the twilight of Abacha's rule. Of Nwobodo’s scandalous moments, the one the nation should neither forget nor forgive was his role at the Maiduguri convention of the Grass roots Democratic Movement in the twilight of Abacha’s lifetime. Flying in with members of the party’s executive council and security officers in a presidential jet from Abuja, Nwobodo ensured that the party’s constitution was illegally amended, and rammed through the election of Abacha, who was not even a party member, as the party’s flagbearer in forthcoming phantom elections (which were designed to succeed phantom coups, phantom crusades against corruption and phantom external reserves) He subsequently played a major role in the so-called two million man march (the Jamboree of the Abacha-must-stay acolytes) and remained an integral part of the squandering of the riches of this country on the dictator’s desperate bid at self-succession.http://www.gamji.com/sanusi/sanusi3.htm He is a member of PDP. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Ambrose Ali had claimed that it was the contractor incharge of the road project that GAVE him the money to give to his party-Which he did. The Military Tribunal found him guilty for diverting State's money to his party. Ali's Son still maintained that it was the contractor that Gave him(Ali). Sir Gabriel Igbenedion paid a fine to have Ali regain freedom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambrose_Folorunsho_Alli#Later_career ACCORDING to his Son “Also, he was tried for several things. Even the tribunal could not find him guilty of corruptly enriching himself or any other individual. Rather, he was found guilty of ‘corruptly enriching his political party’ – and, unlike what some think, he didn’t give state funds to the UPN. Rather, a campaign contribution was given to the UPN treasurer in Bendel State by a contractor to the Bendel State Government. Dad accepted that as UPN chairman in the state and the chief executive of the state he was responsible, even though he himself did not personally accept or disburse the money.http://dailyindependentnig.com/2013/10/edo-delta-regard-late-alli-as-hero/ 2 Likes 2 Shares |

VICE PRESIDENT ALEX EKWEME Brig. Tunde Idiagbon told reporters Thursday that the stockpiles of money ranged from $56,000 found at the home of former Vice President Alex Ekwueme, to $4.5 million at the residence of the last civilian governor of Kono State, Alhaji Sabo Bakin Zuwo. http://www.nytimes.com/1984/01/21/world/around-the-world-nigeria-says-it-recovers-millions-from-ex-aides.html AFTER RELEASE: He became a founding member of the PDP and had vied for the Presidency unsuccessfully in 1999. GOV ADAMU ATTAH, KWARA STATE The political godson of Dr Olusola Saraki was convicted of corruption by Military special tribunal in 1984. According to Historian, Max Siollun Although the harsh sentences and nature of the tribunals were criticised, it is arguable that Nigeria needed these Nuremberg style trials in order to free itself from its corrupt past. The era of Buhari and Idiagbon was the first, and only time that Nigerian public officials were tried, and held accountable for their actions in office 2 Likes 2 Shares |

MESSERS NDUKA IRABOR AND TUNDE THOMPSON It was a crime as at then by decree 4 for journalists/print to publish misleading story about the government. On July 4, 1984, the Guardian Newspaper and two of its journalists Tunde Thompson, then Senior Diplomatic Correspondent and Nduka Irabor, who was Assistant News Editor, became the first victims of this very obnoxious decree. The two journalists were eventually jailed for one year without an option of fine! Guardian Newspapers was fined Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000.00). They had published in The Guardian of April 1 & 8, 1984 stories with the headlines “Eight Military Chiefs Tipped as Ambassadors” and “Haruna to Replace Hannaniya”(Which was misleading as at then). AFTER RELEASE: Irabor would later become the press officer to Babangida’s deputy and in June 1993. would stain his name forever by allowing it to be associated with the gravest electoral event in Nigeria’s history when he circulated a statement annulling the results of the June 1993 presidential election won by Chief MKO Abiola. GUARDIAN: Surprisingly, it was the same GUARDIAN that attributed FALSELY this statement by Alhaji Lawal Kaita to Muhammadu Buhari in 2011 “Anything short of a Northern President is tantamount to stealing our Presidency. Jonathan has to go and he will go. Even if he uses the incumbency power to get his nomination on the platform of the PDP, he would be frustrated out.” Some time in 2010 lawal kaita said that the north is determined to bring up a president that if Goodluck Jonathan Should force his way on nigerians then the north is determined to make the country ungovnorable for him. [url]en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawal_Kaita[/url]But again apologised to the General after pleading for out of court settlement [url]dailypost.ng/2013/01/13/presidency-begs-buhari-to-settle-slander-case-out-of-court/[/url] The Apology GUARDIAN Re: For the attention of General Buhari 1 Like 2 Shares |

Majority of the politicians had performed no doubt, but if they weren't corrupt, they wouldn't have been convicted. All those propagandist that accused Buhari tribalism in his anti-corruption fight should have to have a rethink. In his own words “I am not interested in sending people to jail. When I was in government, those that went to jail were those who did not conduct themselves properly. “I did not just go to the street to pick anybody and send to jail. But those who have made our country this way, who were interested in the billions of naira while our people roam the streets without jobs will answer for it,--- Gen Muhammadu Buhari 2011.

And despite that fact that most of his victims were his fellow Northerners, some fools still go ahead to call him a tribalist! Okay na! The core of the Northern Elite do not like Buhari, because they are very corrupt and hobnob daily with this Government! I see no reason why all the past and present Northern Governors shouldn't rock jail, why..The Man is facing a lot of Demons I swear!

Wole Soyinka served as Road Safety Chairman under IBB, yet he wasn't corrupt nor controversial. Buhari served as PTF(Special) boss under Abacha's administration, he wasn't corrupt nor contriversial.
