Abubarkar Salami should please leave Buhari to to do his work and stop interfering. The peace committee work was to maintain peace during the election and their job ended with the election process. It is blackmailing for Jonathan to be inviting peace committee to stop his probe now.

Fall in crude oil prices is a major factor that is forcing PMB to probe past corruption cases. The government is handicap financially. Assuming the crude oil price is favourable to the economy PMB would have turn a blind eye to some of the cases.

Whatever you want to say go ahead. Why didn't Jonathan do anything when the prices plunged? Instead they stole more money.

Nigerians pose like they want this country to be clean and proper but we are the ones that begin to condemn people who want to do it right.

It beats me how somebody who has a brain and a conscience can ever condemn anybody that's trying to probe the PDP.

You are a small boy. Forget about kiriki. We have been deceived by that. Nobody is going to be jailed. The generals: ibb, obj, abdulsalam, danjuma and co are the soul of buhari. They got all his atrocities commited why presiding over ptf and also as a petroleum minister. He is after all not a saint or better than joe or any corrupt general. I have said it several times that if Haliburton scandal is probe as America is pressuring pmb to dn now, it will be a litmus test for pmb corruption drive. He is never clean, thats what i will like all "WORSHIPPERS" to know about pmb. I just pray he will recover some of this loots, not just on joe's administration but down the line.

FACTS SAHARA REPORT AND APC WILL HIDE FROM YOU :

Abdusalami, Kukah, others caution Buhari on anti-graft war.

Members of the National Peace Committee for the 2015 General Elections led by a former Head of State, Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar (retd.), on Tuesday held a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari where they showed concern for the war against corruption under the present administration.
The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Bishop Matthew Kukah who spoke with newsmen at the end of the meeting held inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja, noted, that since the country was no longer under military rule, every accused person should be presumed innocent until found guilty by competent courts.
He revealed that the committee members prevailed on the president to ensure that his administration follows due process in its anti-corruption war.
There have been reports that former President Goodluck Jonathan had complained to the committee on the way the present administration had allegedly been victimising some of his aides and ministers on allegations of corruption.
Jonathan himself met with Buhari on Thursday evening on what many believed was on the same issue.
Kukah told journalists “It (the way corruption war is being fought) is not heating up the polity.
“In our conversation with President Jonathan and members of the parties, I don’t think any Nigerian is in favour of corruption or is against the President’s commitment to ensuring that we turn a new leaf.
“I think what we are concerned about is the process. It is no longer a military regime and under our existing laws, everybody is innocent until proven guilty.
Kukah said committee members at the meeting with Buhari gave update about the relevance of the committee itself and how members could help to nurture the peace God has given to the country.
Read also: Why Jonathan visited Buhari
He confirmed that members of the committee had met with Jonathan after meeting with some political parties.
He claimed the meeting with Buhari was not at Jonathan’s instance, saying the parley was a continuation of a series of intervention aimed at getting feedbacks from the conduct of the last elections.
Those who attended the meeting alongside Abubabakar, Buhari and Kukah included the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’Ad Abubakar III; the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor; Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Revd. Nicholas Okoh; Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan; a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mrs. Priscilla Kuye; Publisher of the Vanguard Newspapers, Chief Sam Amuka Pemu; National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and Senator Ben Obi among others.

So what you have written now, I'm wondering how material it is and what is worth hiding by APC and Sahara Reporters.

You just strained your fingers typing rubbish.

To probe other administrations before Jonathan, his four year tenure will not be enough. Besides, it's easier to probe Jona who handed over to him than probing any other regime.
This is not an excuse,Efcc has no other work to do,they can probe everytin from 1960 even under a Month,Buhari should probe every Govt or else its a witchunt of Jonathan Govt!

Buhari is running the country without a cabinet. Is this not Dictatorship ? Who the Bleep does he think he is. He is selling crude oil and pocketing the monies and we are here talking bullshit. I think its time to stop Buhari from selling crude oil until he forms a cabinet.

The majority of Nigeria masses are behind PMB in his effort to sanitize and make the country to be the pride of Africa once again. May the ALMIGHTY continue to guide and guard him.
PMB is inert to the whims and caprices of corrupt personalities.
It is annoying to see some so-called leaders ( in whatever sphere ) trying to discourage (instead of encouraging ) the fight against corruption.
The FIGHT against corruption is NOW or NEVER.
We must reap the CHANGE we sowed in possitively.

May GOD bless Buhari/Osinbajo and Nigeria.

It is not sensible for him to probe previous governments. But for the sake of where he is starting from it makes sense to probe his predecessor. If Jonathan did not probe the government before him, that is his business.

How can 'bygone be bygone' over Nigeria's money?For those condemning Buhari for probing GEJ and his flock why are they afraid.We should start with the GEJ probe abeg later we handle the others.GEJ's administration's loot is still fresh.The way GEJ ministers stole they insulted our intelligence with blind,undiplomatic,reckless,heartless looting.After GEJ we go for OBJ and the others.

Peace and the Nazarene Peasant
By Pius Adesanmi.
The Nazarene peasant whose earthly father was a carpenter rose to international fame for so many reasons. He was born in a manger among goats and sheep. Today, over a billion people swear by his name. They swear by his name because his life is a compass, a total compendium of examples, a mirror of definitions. His life answers every question, illuminates every riddle, provides definitions for everything.
We must examine such an exemplary life for a lasting definition of peace. The Nazarene peasant had two definitions of peace. One is the absence of conflict and chaos. Chaos could be a function of wars or of the anger of the elements. That is why he told the raging tempest and winds:
"Peace, be still."
And they all sweetly obeyed his will.
And no water swallowed the ship where lay the master of ocean and earth and skies. And no grave in an angry deep had power over him.
Another day, another time, the Nazarene peasant gave the world a second definition of peace. The second definition should be the most important for his followers in the corrupt backwaters of Africa and the Third World. He defined peace as the absence of corruption. He defined peace as zero tolerance for corruption.
And this is where he adds a class dimension to his conceptualization of peace and fair. He says there can be no peace and no fair in the land when a class of people is perpetually allowed to corrupt the land. For him, peace is when you take decisive and resolute steps to deal with corruption; fair is when you deal with corruption in an all-encompassing manner, with no possibility of a soft landing for anybody.
To avoid any misunderstanding of this second definition of peace, the Nazarene peasant gave a practical demonstration. He took a koboko and went to the greatest haven of corruption in his day - the Temple.
And he flogged and drove away all the moneychangers. And swept the Temple clean of corruption.
No moneychanger was left unflogged and unpunished.
Had a euphemism committee appealed to the Nazarene peasant to "be fair" to the moneychangers, it would not have worked. He would have said that he sees fair from the perspective of the victims of the moneychangers, the victims of their corruption. He would have told them that his definition of fair is appropriate punishment for corruption without fear or favour.
Had he encountered goats and sheep as he furiously flogged corruption out of the Temple, my spirit tells me that he would not have developed a soft spot for the only companions he had in that humble manger. Goats and sheep were his benefactors because they shared their abode with his mother when she was in labour. Yet, goats and sheep would not have benefited from nepotism and special favours.
Oju wa ni won se bi - goats and sheep are the singular owners of this eye witness narrative of his birth but had he encountered them during his anti-corruptionsweep through the Temple, he would not have treated them differently from the moneychangers. Every goat and every sheep would have had to account for every yam eaten.
These are the issues for President Buhari to reflect upon as he is subjected to one and the repeated visit by the Soft Landing-Generalof the Federation, Abdulsalami Abubakar.

Re: Corruption Probe: Peace Committee Shocked In Meeting With President Buhari by Nobody: 10:34am On Aug 12, 2015
This retired General is a clear and present danger to President Buhari's integrity narrative. How Buhari handles him will determine whether we can take his anti-corruptionwar seriously. It will determine whether Professor Itse Sagay will be allowed to function and deliver.
President Buhari went to the United States and talked the talk about the Halliburton bribery scandal. He said he would reopen that file. The creme de la creme of Nigeria's leadership received and shared USD 180 million in bribes from Halliburton. Three former Heads of state were fingered in this bribery mess. Abdulsalami Abubakar is one of them. And that is not mentioning the monumental disappearance of funds he presided over in his short spell as Head of State.
President Buhari, how are you going to proceed with the Halliburton case when one of the indictees is constantly visiting you on soft landing (fairness is a euphemism) missions? He started with Hajia Desinatu. President Buhari, how is Professor Sagay to feel when he sees you in photo-ops with a man who may soon come to the attention of his committee? You have said that there will be no sacred cows in this new anti-corruptionbusiness. No sacred cows means no photo-ops with potential subjects of investigation and prosecution. The Nazarene peasant would never have entertained a handshake from any of the moneychangers he drove away from the temple.
President Buhari, one of your visitors owns a private jet. Recently, that jet was involved in a very messy affair in South Africa. That messy affair was supervised by the corrupt and discredited former national security adviser. Because the owner of that jet was untouchable under your immediate predecessor, an official lie was fabricated to cover up the mess and dissociate him from the money laundering and gun running scandal his jet was used for. Needless to say, nobody is satisfied with the tall stories told about how his jet came to be involved in such a messy affair. It is a file that you will have to reopen. This man should not be doing photo-ops with you until we are sure that we have no yams to retrieve from him. The Nazarene peasant would have been particularly harsh on this man. Did he not warn that "many shall come in my name?"
When next a committee visits you, look at the composition and receive only the credible people in it. There are unassailable public role models in that committee. Stick with those names and the public will not be jittery that they are visiting you. But the two I have mentioned make me nervous. They make the country nervous.
One last word for you, President Buhari. Do not joke with your personal security. Corruption is powerful. Corruption fights back. If corruption pleads and cajoles and appeals and you refuse to play ball, corruption will try to take you out - especially if you truly and genuinely move beyond talk and body language to actually touch that Halliburton deadly file. Stop your foolish populism of breaching your security instructions to mingle while you are fighting corruption.
Corruption fought the Nazarene peasant.
Corruption elevated Barabbas the thief above him.
Corruption conspired with the political leaders of the land to hang him on the cross.
Unfortunately for corruption, burdens are lifted at Calvary
