Is that all?

My dear, that is more than enough to grind the economy of this country to a standstill

Axelrod:
This is what happens when a President decides to be sectional in his dealings!

You can not let Babachir Lawal go scot free after his grass cutting adventure(okay, you will say he was suspended. Really?);
Abba Kyari after he is accused of collecting 500million from Mtn;
Baru after being accused of awarding contracts illegally to the tune of $26 billion
Smuggle in Abdulrasheed Marina, give him DSS cover and emoluments, despite being on EFCC's wanted list.
Allow your kinsmen, the dealy Fulani Herdsmen maim people with impunity, Etc

Yet, think in your deluded minds that the Niger Deltans won't shout victimization when you try to touch their on son!

So it's buhari that requested subpoena against jona...

Olosa methu former pdp scribe cannot request jona to testify again... >:

And what can Jonathan do?

Herein lies the problem with Nigeria and that is tribalism, and this is bad.

I have repeatedly said it that the problem of Nigeria is not corruption,religion, bad governance or such. The number one problem is tribal and ethnic affiliation.

Everything in Nigeria is looked at from a tribal view. Nigeria has had plenty of Presidents,some corrupt and some not too corrupt.

But when Goodluck Jonathan came into the picture, even the Webster dictionary was forced to re-define the term " Corruption"

That the Government of President Buhari did not file corruption cases against Jonathan, his wife, PDP as a political party, thousands of Jonathan's hangers on and enablers is perplexing to me.

That a toothless bulldog like the IYC is suddenly talking and supporting Goodluck Jonathan , when even the corrupt Jonathan did not develop any part of Bayelsa as the Deputy Governor,Governnor,Vice-president and President is enough to show that the leadership of the IYC is a disgrace, and they should be overhauled.

I have started my gradual withdrawal of support for President Buhari,And the APC as a political party, for the simple reason that the fight against corruption that made me support them, is now a joke.

Goodluck Jonathan And his wife,just like the corrupt people inside APC now should be arrested and tried for crimes against Nigeria.

And the Government should not forget to pick up Obasanjo and Atiku along the way too. They got Nigeria into this mess collectively.

Mumu! You just dey on faceless forum dey talk anyone. Go to Yenagoa and call IYC a toothless bulldog and see if they won't waste you. You have no idea which group u are dealing with!

you are talking like a 'BB' 'Bigger Bigot ' . How many of the past presidents have you arraigned, when IBB was summoned by Oputa panel did he go. What was your comment then. Did you shout tribalism. Why must it be Jonathan and his family all the time. If you want to fight corruption start from the begining. Start from the north cos they have been in power for years and are responsible for this country's backwardness. Yes Jonathan may not have developed Bayelsa not because he couldn't but he wanted to pacify ppl like you in the name of one national interest. Now Buhari has come and sectionalised the country and dragging the country backwards. Corruption is even higher than before. Yet you are still supporting him. What will you call yourself. 'bigger Bigot'. Ijaws will not do anything but go and arrest him.

You guys need to be very careful what you write, you're asking what Jonathan can do ? Get him arrested when he decides not to appear in court.

You can see all the rubbish happening in this APC Govt, and you have not asked the Govt what they are doing about it, you're asking what Jonathan can do, OK wait, that is if you will be around to know what he will do.

You guys should not cause problems for us in this country, since we don't want to be fair about how we handle issues of corruption in this country then we leave it at that, but if we want fairness, then everyone should be brought to book not selective corruption fight.

mechanics:
They should go to the same court and reverse the order, what concern President Buhari in this case, some people are just looking for cheap popularity.

Sincerely I am just too confused about Nigerian youths.

Going through the comments here, I just wonder if people actually understand a matter before commenting.

What concerns PMB in this order?

Was he the one who asked Olisah Metuh to ask the court to order GEJ to testify in his defence?

What is the big deal or wrong in testifying in defence of your party member and associate?

Did Abang compel Metuh to request that GEJ be brought in as his defence witness?

Was Abang wrong in granting Metuh his request and right to fair hearing and proper defence?

Has GEJ been charged to court for this matter or any other one including Allison's case?

Which way Nigeria!

uyplus:
Ex Presidents of Brazil and Philippines were jailed for corruption, so who is Jonathan not to come give account of his stewardship as Ex President? He supervised a highly corrupt government, marred with lots of indictment, deceits, looting etc! Buhari too will be called upon to give account of his stewardship once he vacates office in 2019!!

so u think the North will fold their ams if buhari is called to give stewardship

cashlurd:
For the current administration to summon a former President of this Republic is an attempt to rubbish his image. Why haven't IBB been summoned for corruption charges...why haven't OBJ also been summoned...or is it only under GEJ that corruption existed?
They not only seek his downfall, but that of his wife and all those in his cabinet who are still sympathetic to him.

Never mind, come 2019, we would vote PMB out.... And watch the new administration summon him to court

Ask Jonathan and PDP why they did not summon the alleged criminals you mentioned?Oh I forgot they were or are all members of PDP.

Least you forget Oliseh Metuh was the one that requested Jonathan's presence to aid his defense,why mention the office of his Excellency President Buhari in these petty issue of 400 million Naira?

So it's buhari that requested subpoena against jona...

Olosa methu former pdp scribe cannot request jona to testify again... >:

First of all, how can Olisa Metuh request a Sabpoena against Jonathan? Is Metuh the prosecuting counsel or a judge?

If you want to quote people on Nairaland, be mindful of those you quote with the wrong information! Mark this Moniker!

Now to the issue, who is prosecuting Olisa Metuh? In case you don't know the answer, it is the Federal Government, through the Attorney General of the Federation/Minister of Justice. And the Minister is a member of President Buhari's cabinet. They meet every Wednesday during the Federal Executive Meetings and discuss what case to pursue and how best to pursue it.

The prosecuting counsel requested the court sabpoena GEJ to appear in court and testify. So you mean, the AGF pulled this off on an immediate past President without the sitting President's approval? Come on!!!

Oh, I took the liberty to screenshot the meaning of Subpoena for you, just in case!

2 days ago, Garba Shehu, president spokesman released a statement that the return of Mania to office was the handiwork of Goodluck Jonathan. That statement alone should send a clear message to even the most docile observer that the Buhari government is prepared to leave no stone unturned in his effort to completely smear the name of Goodluck. That allegation by Shehu came as a rude shock to even the ardent supporters of Buhari. They saw a man striving to save face using the same well rehearsed lines, "blame it on the scapegoat, Jonathan".
It is a clear case of a government that is fast losing its popularity as it is unable to fulfil most of its promises but desperately hanging on to just one regular line of defence which is fighting corruption. A sinking ship will desperately do everything to stay above water.
No doubt, there are many people who will celebrate the arrest of Goodluck and other previous heads of state like Obasajor, Atiku, Abdusalami and Babagida. But such a move, rather than place food on their tables, or improve electricity supply, or improve quality of health care and education as well as reduce the high cost of living, would rather generate chaos.
Jonathan ruled for just 6 years. It is indeed myopic to assume that Jonathan ought to create a Dubai in Nigeria, whereas, Buhari, in his third year as elected president, cannot boast of any commissioned project other than the helipad he constructed in his village.

R0ckefeller:
am not supporting any of them because both are bad pdp let you know they are corrupt and apc pretending not to be but Jonathan did something which is giving up power with no fight and that one thing have earn him respect in many places both home and abroad so if buhari government try to prob him is going to invite unwanted visitors for apc both home and abroad which is not good for their corrupt business so they should leave so not cause trouble for them

If buhari decide to probe Jonathan today he will put him in prison and heaven will not fall' there are so many evidences that will nail Jonathan but Buhari does not want to go in to all that,,buhari have shown Jonathan so much respect' may be because the way Jonathan congratulated him even before the final result' i called Jonathan a coward because he is such a greedy man,,,if he had presented a northerner as a PDP flag bearer' PDP would have won that election and today EFCC will not investigate him or any of his ministers''because the candidate he would have presented will win the election" but after ruling for complete 6 years he was not satisfied' he needed another four years' what a greedy man' even a blind man know that northerners needed thier own person that period' after the death of yar adua" jonathan became the president' he spent 2 years to complete yar adua term' he contested' even the northerners voted massively for him against the same buhari' he won the election' he even said he will spend only one term' but after the the 4 years making it total of 6 years' he wanted more' that is greed my guy nd that was the bigining of his problem' in any thing we do in life one should be caculative' to know when to call it quit' today he is paying dearly for his sins' Good for him

Can you just shut up already! See who is talking about tribalism as if you're not one of the worst tribalists on this forum. If you want change, start with yourself.

He will not be in court to stand in as a witness and let's see what you and your likes will do.

They should hold Metuh who asked the court to invite Jonathan. Is Jonathan God? No. While former South Korea's president is currently in a one room prison complaining of cold, it's a shame Nigerians think there are people who should be above the law.

THIS IS NIGERIA FOR YOU WHERE;

Those above the laws are the politicians.
Those not above the laws are the poor masses.

Come to think of it....charity they say begins at home....let us start from APC first; the abode for looters before taking it further.
However,GEJ is not the first Head of state/ president of this country.lets get it right!
