misappropriation of over N2.5 billion
Shagari’s regime (1979-1983), incurred
Buhari’s wrath when it decided to investigate
the US$2.8 billion (current value $68billion)
that disappeared from the Midland Bank,
London account of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Cooperation, (NNPC), during
General Obasanjo’s era as military head of
state that preceded Shagari’s.
Dr. Olusola Saraki, Turaki of Ilorin, was the
majority party leader of the Senate at the time
and he headed the Senate Committee set up
to trace the stolen money after some three
years of clamour for such an investigation by
members of the civil society. The money was
traced to the Midland Bank London branch
fixed account of Buhari, Obasanjo’s appointee
as military head of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Company.
The Committee’s report was presented to the
Senate during the tail end of Shagari’s regime
in 1983, so the House decided to deal with
the matter soon after the 1983 general
elections.
The attempt at civilian-to-civilian transition
provided the fillip for mayhem at the time.
The elections were marred by massive
rigging because incumbent political office
holders were refusing to slacken their
stranglehold on Nigeria Plc., mortgaged as
the leaders private property. On the 31st
December, 1983, Buhari struck under the
cover of the political commotion that trailed
the presidential election results. Buhari
generally had no agenda for leadership but
vendetta against those he called critics and
rabble-rousers. Buhari did not see any moral
wrong in his conversion of our oil money into
his personal use.
Rather he railed at the press and what he
described as the self-righteous sections of
the country for making a big deal out of the
issue. He locked up without trial, politicians
and critics including Fela Anikulapo-Kuti,
notorious for clamouring for the exposure of
the oil money rogue.
Satire saved my neck at the time. Vera Ifudu,
who was an NTA reporter then, was sacked
through his prodding as military ruler, for
reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told
her in an interview about how the missing
money was traced to Buhari’s account at a
Midland Bank London branch. Vera
eventually won her case of wrongful
dismissal in court against the NTA and was
financially compensated.
Abacha rehabilitated Buhari with the
chairmanship of the Petroleum Trust Fund
(PTF) before he (Abacha) died in 1998. When
Obasanjo returned to power in May 1999 as
civilian president, he found that over 2.5
billion naira had not been properly accounted
for in the PTF and that there was not much
on the ground to show for the colossal
expenditure the agency was claiming.
On the day Obasanjo announced the
scrapping of the PTF, a non-staff brother-in-
law of the boss, allegedly serving as his
conduit on some PTF projects, died suddenly
from what appeared to be heart failure.
Haruna Adamu, who was appointed by
Obasanjo to investigate the PTF before finally
consigning it to the dung heap, allegedly
quickly pocketed one hundred million naira
(N100million) of PTF’s money before
operating table could be set up for him, thus
forcing Obasanjo to hurriedly close the place
down without further investigations.
Buhari has been trying desperately since to
return to power, perhaps to get a chance to
shred the PTF documents?—

airtel n mtn got it all wrong,. They should have stayed neutral n only congratulate the winner.

Now, one would nt stop but wonder their fate in the future.

Your ignorance is legendary! IBB and Abacha were the instigators and organisers of the coup that overthrew Shagari, and also the coup that toppled Buhari. Buhari was chosen over IBB to become head of state because some in the military were already apprehensive about IBBs character. Buhari had nothing to do with the coup that brought him to power. As for your other baseless lies... Jeez! Black propaganda. #fail

You once said soldiers could be recruited for a coup without their knowledge. How is that possible?

Yes, there are many instances. You might want to verify this from Gen. Buhari, he was not the initiator of that coup that brought him in as Head of State, it was Gen. Ibrahim Bako and Babangida that initiated it. But because they wanted a credible figure as a face, he was brought in. He did not know the genesis of that coup. He was not quite aware of the original idea behind the coup and that was why when he decided to make a change, he was forced to step aside. So, if this could happen to a whole Gen. Buhari, who was supposedly the leader of a coup, it shows how many soldiers can be brought in that way.

Does that mean overthrowing Shagari’s government was IBB’s idea?

It was the idea of late Gen. Bako and IBB. Buhari was only brought in because they needed a face with integrity.

Can you give other instances?

Gen. Yakubu Gowon was not part of the coup that brought him in. He was a decent man. Nigerians like to play what the Yoruba people call bojuboju; they bring a figure with integrity to cover up their real intention; the real intention of politicians in uniform who have found cheap party. Many elements of them are in our partisan politics today.

That means such heads of states were under the control of the coup plotters that installed them.

Obviously. And these people are still the reason why we are not allowed to have a proper census, they are still the ones ensuring that we don’t have a conference as well as a free and fair election because if you give the people their rights to choose who to governs them, you have freed them and these oligarchs don’t want that.

All these lies will not save Jonathan's government from being rejected by Nigerians on Feb 14. The only thing Jonathan can do is to steal the election and Nigerians will not stand for that this time around.

This is another ignorant thread.
The amount of money accruing to Nigeria in 1983 - 1985 was less than what Rivers State made in 2014 when oil price was $115 per barrel..so how is it possible for Buhari to steal more than any Nigerian?. This is a situation now of young thieves (young PDP supporters) just posting any thrash to support the old thieves (PDP government).
However the electorate' s mind is made up and Jonathan is going back to Bayelsa in February.

There is freedom of speech-it's so easy to dish out nonsense about people one hate.

This man na real ANINI. I wonder what will be his plan for Nigeria again. Hmm

let's assume that Buhari is guilty of all these s crime, Nigerians want is someone who can handle people like this have who stolen a lot from us and not simply laughing it off and saying stealing isn't corruption. when you claim Buhari has stollen or embezzled public funds yet he walks free, you are only pointing out how incapable our president is. which is the reason why change is eminent. if I were you I would stop trying to defame Buhari by lying cos it only makes him more popular and gaining peoples' sympathy. if you think am lying, ask ffk, fayose, ruben, omokri omokri etc and we'll learned PDP nairalanders supporters. they have all learnt their lessons.
