Chest beater,keep ranting on social media while baba is busy perfecting and strategizing his re-election come 2019

Posthumous what So that is his ticket to make heaven or that is a cheque for his kids to become Dangote or what is the usefulness of this presidential pardon for God sake? This was how foolishly MKO kids were running after award their father could not get when he is alive and useful but getting it when he is dead and the the award is useless.

Mercy after death it's absolutely rubbish. No offense just my own view but in actual fact it make no sense dead man knows nothing and can't be pardon by mortar man except God

these was the reason i never voted for this TYRANT. i will say it again that if theyouth know history, no one will vote for a backward unrepentant military dictator. I warned almost all my family and friends never to associate with the devils veils but they thought i know nothing.

Back in 1983, buhari illiteracy and ignorant cost nigeria great economic meltdown that the dullard halt and paused all economic growth in the country. He canceled construction of the metro rail way system in Lagos state. Arrest Prof Ali because the massive road and other economic development the prof carried out, the lifeless one see nothing in it. due to his poor health in detention, the prof died. Of course, thanks to the record breaker of human right and violation.

It is buhari that need our pardon.

Buhari practically killed this man in collaboration with his accursed fellow officers, yet he is shamelessly manipulating the memory of the same man in order to hang on political power three decades later.

Someone please tell Buhari to go and rest. He has messed up Nigeria's destiny as much as humanly possible.

E no go better for Buhari,,,,, was it not this same hater of education and hater of good things that jailed Ambrose Alli and threw away the keys till the man lost half his sight and became acutely diabetic which later killed him ?? So after Buhari killed Ambrose Alli decades ago, he now wants to use the ruse of an unwarranted presidential pardon to score cheap political points
What is a pardon ?? is it not an act of forgiving somebody's wrongs or crime which wrong or crime did Ambrose Alli commit
Bendelites (Edo & Delta people) should join hands and contribute their quota to the movement to kick the cow lover Buhari back to Daura in 2019

If the man was from another tribe you wouldn’t be talking that way mcthew!
And deny and act like you don’t know what I’m saying
The guy was wrongly accused, so now he’s being pardoned? Goodness, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s better late then never
If the man was from your state or from one of the other 35 states where ever your from you would be singing a different tune
Let’s call it what it is

Suniyamu:
The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki has had an audience with President Muhammadu Buhari over plea for presidential pardon for former Governor of Old Bendel State (now Edo and Delta States), late Prof. Ambrose Alli.

The President has subsequently instructed the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to begin the process.

Governor Obaseki disclosed this during the Memorial Service held in honour of late Prof. Alli at the Saint Ambrose Catholic Church, in Emaudo, Ekpoma on Saturday, September 22, 2018.

He said he is optimistic that at the next meeting of the Council on Prerogative of Mercy, the President will officially grant the pardon.

Obaseki also assured that he is working with his Delta State counterpart to set modalities to ensure that pension due to late Alli will be paid to his widow and the family.

The governor lauded the former governor’s development strides while he held sway as the governor of what is now Delta and Edo States, noting that the feats are not just intimidating but showed how much can be achieved in just one term in office.

According to him, “I had an audience with President Muhammadu Buhari while in China and discussed the issue of a presidential pardon for late Prof. Alli and the president asked me to meet with the Attorney General of the Federation. This I have done and have also written to him.”

Delta State Governor, Mr. Ifeanyi Okowa said Delta State will continue to remember Alli for developing the state and has a lot to thank him for. “We are grateful, as his developmental strides can still be seen, years after his death,” he said.

The former governor’s eldest son, Mr. Andrew Folorunso Alli, who is the Ezomo of Ekpoma, regretted that his late father was still termed a criminal despite his contributions to the development of Delta and Edo states and Nigeria.

You talk as though you and your family are the only ones in the country. Buhari is going nowhere come next year, we will turn out on election day in our millions to reelect him, so more tears for you

Alli family and Bendelites should reject this shit.
Buhari incarcerated Alli which led to his death. Even when the alleged misappropriated money was repaid. The same Buhari now want to give Alli posthumous pardon. Hypocrisy!!!
Any posthumous pardon should wait until a nrw president is sworn in.
Edo and Delta have moral obligation to pay Alli's pension. Most members of present day Houses of Assembly benefited from Alli's free education, so have moral obligation to do the needful.

Later, some morons will still be shouting sai baba. The only thing this old man came to Aso Rock to do is to arrest people that he has beef with under the disguise of "fighting corruption". Yet some thieves which he appointed are looting billions on a low key. I'm sure Prof. Ambrose died as a result of the shock. Perhaps he never believed he would be arrested after all the remarkable infrastructure he provided to the Edo & Delta people.

Everyone who was close to that situation knew that Ambrose Alli did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to be branded a criminal. Anyone who went to school in then Bendel State and enjoyed the free education, free exercise books, free textbooks of the UPN governments know that Ambrose Alli sacrificed his life, career and all for Bendel State. He died a broken, blind and ailing Professor.

But guess what? A certain Major General Muhammadu Buhari and his Supreme Military Council threw Ambrose Alli, Bisi Onabanjo, Lateef Jakande, and other UPN and NPP governors such as Sam Mbakwe, Solomon Lar and Jim Nwobodo in prison. He also threw Alex Ekwueme in prison and then proceeded to jail Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor under Decree 4. We still do not know how many unlucky others were served similar or worse fates by the NSO.

Meanwhile Shehu Shagari was set free and the Kwara guy (I think his name was Aliyu Atta) was "jailed" in a hospital bed.

Tell me, between 1984/85 and what we are seeing today, what has changed?

Sir for once be honest. Alli we all knew wasnt corrupt but he couldn't account for 900,000 plus state fund which was a huge amont those days. The Buhari/Idiagbon regime came at a time when corruption was at its zenith...an imminent recession...Because of this, Shagari led NPN govt ordered Ghanians to leave Nigeria with the slogan "Ghana must go." Umaru Dikko the all powerful Shagari minister was importing rice meant for feeding pigs for Nigerians to consume. Nigerians were fed up and indeed troop to the street to celebrate the ouster of Shagari's govt. Many politicians were rounded up and jailed- both from North and South. Shagari was placed on house arrest, Alex Ekwueme was jailed for cash found in his bed room. But onething is it was a Northern that was given the lengthiest sentence. ex gov. of kano state was jailed for 300 yrs ...other Northern govt also got heavier sentences. if not that that regime was cut short by IBB, sanity would have bern hallmark of Nigeria today. pkz dont make it look like all southern governors were jailed why Northerns were left free.

thats why i said most of us don't read history. Did you know how he was sentenced? do you know who found him guilty? and you believe a tyrant like the lifeless one will judge wisely during the coup he supervised and having taking peoples power by force through the gun.

and who accused him wrongly?

Buhari is a fool

What did Ambrose Alli do that you killed him?

Yet some demented Edo people still voted for APC

What I find particularly sad is that there was a time, 'thieving politicians' like Ambrose Alli and Lateef Jakande built 600 schools, universities, large low cost housing estates, massive road construction etc, while today's politicians are content to build bus-stops, and pedestrian bridges (side-eye at Ambode). If this nation had sustained half the tempo of those old guys, we all would be better off today.

EkoErrands:
Someone did all these

"He established over 600 new secondary schools, and abolished secondary school fees. Apart from the establishment of the University, he also established various colleges of Education in Ekiadolor near Benin City, Agbor, Warri, Ozoro and Agbor, and three Polytechnics, with a college of agriculture and fishery proposed for Agenebode. He also established four teachers training colleges to supply staff to the new schools, as well as several other higher educational institutions. In 1981 he laid the foundation of the Bendel State University, which is now named the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma. Other reforms included abolishing charges for services and drugs at state-owned hospitals and eliminating the flat-rate tax. His administration carried out massive construction of roads to open up the rural areas. In the housing sector he built low cost housing estates in Ugbowo, Ikpoba Hill in Benin City, and Bendel Estates in Warri. As Governor, he always wore sandals, joking that he was so busy working in Government House that he never had time to buy shoes for himself."

And they said he misappropriated 900k and jailed him for 100 years.... This sounds typical of a Fulani conspiracy. Anywhere Fulani is this is the type of things you hear. I'm very sure they nailed him because of the free education. Nothing scares Fulanis more than free education in any region...because they know education is the only thing that can upsurge their indefinite hold on power.
