Buhari Using UK Aid To Fight His Enemies Instead Of Boko Haram- Telegraph by anonimi: 2:20pm On Apr 13, 2016 |
Nigeria using UK aid to persecute president's political foes rather to fight Boko Haram Hundreds of millions of pounds of British foreign aid given to Nigeria to help combat Boko Haram terrorists is instead being used to fund a witch-hunt against opposition politicians, it is being claimed. Britain has committed to spending £860 million in foreign aid to Nigeria, which now boasts Africa’s largest economy, to help support the country’s efforts to crush Boko Haram terror group, which has been responsible for a spate of outrages, including the kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls. But Western officials are now raising concerns that the government of the country’s recently elected leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, is misusing the funds to persecute political opponents. Since Mr Buhari came to power last July, a number of prominent members of the former ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have been arrested and imprisoned without charge. Among those detained was the party’s official spokesperson. Most of the arrests have been sanctioned by the government-controlled Economic and Financial Crime Commission, which was set up to tackle corruption and receives funding from the Department for International Development. But while Mr Buhari’s government continues to use British aid money to target his political opponents, it is proving less effective at tackling the Islamist-run Boko Haram terrorist group. Much of the aid Britain provides to Nigeria is aimed at helping the country’s security forces to become more effective at tackling Boko Haram, which boasts of its links with Islamic State (Isil) and achieved international notoriety two years ago after kidnapping 276 schoolgirls in northern Nigeria two years ago.

baralatie: See below => The Telegraph is widely regarded as a national "newspaper of record" and it maintains an international reputation for quality, having been described by the BBC as being "one of the world's great titles".[5] The paper's motto, "Was, is, and will be", appears in the editorial pages and has featured in every edition of the newspaper since 19 April 1858.[6] Barawo bubu and the 40 thieves cabal presidency of the All Poverty Congress, APC are the worst things to happen to our beloved country. The worst. Te vision-less rogue should be rotting in jail instead of eating our free food with his padded budget. Firefire: 2 Likes |

It's high time people understood Buhari doesn't give a hook about what anyone says. The man is so full of himself right now that he sees Nigeria as his private property. It's the taste of Power obtained greedily. 3 Likes |

Very disjointed story with no fact or source, just the speculations and ideas of the writer. It failed to answer any of the following questions; How much did the the UK give Buhari as aid to fight Boko Haram? How exactly did Buhari use aid money to fight political opponents? Did he pay contractors or hired assassins to go after his political opponents? I thought if he wanted to go after political opponents, he will use existing state security services like the Police, DSS, EFCC, etc, what does he need to spend extra money for? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Buharis level of failure qualifies as bizarre I tell you .. Buhari has spent over 3 billion dollars fighting Boko haram yet the last time our military men saw any new gears and equipment was those purchased by the previous govt.. SMH 4 Likes 1 Share |

anonimi: You redeem your sight by giving us details of how much aid was given the Buhari government the UK and how much of that aid was used to fight political opponents. If your sight is functional as you think, you would have seen that the heading of the tread reads "Buhari Using UK Aid To Fight His Enemies Instead Of Boko Haram", there is nothing about EFCC receiving donations from international organizations. If you have been sighted enough to actually read the article, you will notice that the article was published in vanguard on 12 April 2016, so between may 29 2015 when Buhari took office and April 12 when the article was published, how many billions of dollars did the UK give Nigeria as aid to fight Boko Haram? |

Waooo! What a revelation! Buhari is "misusing the funds to persecute political opponents" by paying thugs to go after them. The officers of the NPF, DSS, EFCC, ICPC had been given 'brown envelops' from the £860 million in foreign aid to Nigeria to unlawfully arrest, detain and prosecute innocent and patriotic PDP members also. As a matter of facts, so many of them had been arrested the £860m might not be enough to fight them. As we speak, boko haram had become so power and our soldiers defeated because the money that was given to provided welfare, ammunition, logistics, etc had been given to judges to pervert judgement. Nonsense! I wish they had been thoroughly prosecuted and sentenced for their crime against the Nigerian state. To me, the aid won't have been 'misused.' |
