Alli died shortly after release from prison, just like many other southern politicians sent to prison by Buhari junta died. Today, ever politically and financially corrupt Buhari is acting as the 21st Century Othman Dan Fodio in Nigeria. 1 Like |

Goodness today is there is Ambrose Alli University in his name, not Buhari's pardon. Alli whose people venerate through naming a University after him does not require any useless pardon from anyone. 2 Likes |

omonnakoda:Guy don't say what you don't know. I love Alli so much he worked very well and didn't even build himself a �, but for real he couldn't account for the nearly a million naira govt fund. His trusted aid and his tribes man cornered the money. Now there was no form of bigotry in the trial. The special military tribunal set up by The Supreme Military council of the Buhari/Idiagbon government set out to jail second republic politicians and directors of govt establishment who saw Nigeria as their fiefdom. The onus was on the accuse to prove he was not guilty of the charges laid against him. This was Prof. Ambrose Folorunsho, Alli greatest undoing. yes money was missing, he didn't appropriate it, but then could account for the over N900,000 which was huge some of money then. He was rightly jailed-- imprisonment caused by his appointees. Now to cure ur mind of bigotry. It was even a Northerner that was given the lengthiest jail term Sabo Bakin Zuwo - Wikiwand https://www.wikiwand.com › Sabo_Baki... In 1985 a Special Military Tribunal sentenced him to 300 years in jail. He died in 1989. Before his death he had aligned with the Peoples Had IBB allowed that corrective regime more time, you and I won't be shouting corruption today. Babangida overthrew that regime to the joy of ignorant Nigerians, freed all jailed looters and institutionalise corruption.

As a medical Prof he was supposed to be saving lives but greed no gree am. He still dabbled into politics. Imagine how he ended up. Such a material! Maybe our health institution would have been world class by now if he had featured in his trained profession. What's up with doctors and politics sef? Igige,odili,okowa,saraki,uduaghan etc. No wonder we have now resorted to importing coronally infested Chinese doctors. |

omonnakoda:oga it was not a deliberate persecution. stop misinforming people. That was the most encompassing corruption fight ever carried out in Nigeria even though it has it shortcomings. Prof. Ambrose Folorunsho Alli, a man of impeccable character and diligence, able administrator and achiever never built a house for himself. He went about industrializing the then Bendel state, an Apostle of free Education. Yet he has a weakness-trusting absolutely on his appointees. This became his albatross. He couldn't account for over N900,000 which unknown to him was embezzled by his aides. The Supreme Military council rightly convicted him and sentenced him to 100 years, it was harsh judging from how forthright Alli was. But you can't blame the Buhari/Idiagbon led junta which aimed at riding Nigeria of corruption. It was even a Northerner that was given the lengthiest jail term for misappropriation of about N3.5m naira. Sabo Bakin Zuwo - Wikiwand https://www.wikiwand.com › Sabo_Baki... In 1985 a Special Military Tribunal sentenced him to 300 years in jail. He died in 1989. Before his death he had aligned with the Peoples If the evil genius IBB hadn't struck which Nigerians applauded then and institutionalise corruption, Nigeria would hv long passed this stage. |

cyrilamx:I am sure you were not born at the time . Why did the NBA boycott the TRIBUNAL ,Gani Fawehinmi and many others were arrested. None of those tried had lawyers,they were tried by soldiers and there was no route to appeal That is not justice by any standard. We still had courts. Why were they not tried in court Any arrangement where the accuser is also the judge and the law they were tried with did not exist at the time of the offence is persecution. This is not stuff I was told or read. I witnessed it Similar stuff with Fela and Nkem Owoh"s brother whom he executed for drug trafficking even though the offence did not carry the death penalty The same person who changed the colour of the naira to fight corruption and closed the borders while that was happening but allowed an emir to render the country with 53 suitcases that were not searched was fighting corruption? Never in the history of Nigeria was there a time soldiers broke people's shops to sell their goods at reduced prices. That was Buhari's idea of fighting corruption People queued to by soap and detergent that was being rationed. Buhari used hisvSakamaje trials to cover up for his lack of ideas Coming up with all kinds of ridiculous sentences including 21 years for exam malpractice 1 Like |

daddytime:But same Buhari is castigated for attempting to abduct Dikko back to Nigeria after his escape. Same Buhari ensured a Northerner got the lengthiest jail term for misappropriation of public funds. Sabo Bakin Zuwo - Wikiwand https://www.wikiwand.com › Sabo_Baki... In 1985 a Special Military Tribunal sentenced him to 300 years in jail. He died in 1989. Before his death he had aligned with the Peoples Though Prof. Ambrose Folorunsho Alli was a forthright technocrat, he fell into trouble for the deeds of his appointees who misappropriated nearly a million naira and he couldn't account for it. The question now is if Buhari was booted out of power in 1985, why didn't IBB release him immediately like he did other jailed politicians like Nwobodo? Why didn't the various wealthy men in then Bendel state pay that fine to free him? it took the generous nature of the Esama of Benin kingdom to pay that money to ensure his release. they all failed him. |

Was it rule of law that develop Singapore, Malaysia, Dubai, helped Ghana fought corruption. or Putting Rwanda now back in track? You see where rule of law has gotten us to. |

cyrilamx: I have written about Barkin Zuwo & and Middle Belt governors Buhari dealt with anyhow. Go back to my posts from years ago. I am sure you do not know that Zuwo was a Nupe from Niger State. He wasn't Hausa or Fulani. Not even Kanuri. Despite becoming Kano State governor. What offense did opposition leader Pa Awo commit for his passport to be seized? Or his son's passport just for being publisher of Tribune? Was late Dr Alex Ekwueme ever found wanting? Freed by the court several times but still detained by Buhari. Dude, relatives were journalists deeply embedded in this matter back then. Every goat & Chicken expected Buhari's coup. I have written extensively about it here over the years. Including Buhari's time in Jos as GOC, Chief Solomon Lar, and how Umaru Dikko incurred Buhari's eternal hate. Making Buhari to become Nigeria's first kidnapper in UK or any foreign soil. The 900k, the contract it was used for was known. Of course corrupt elements in politics & civil service fiddled with it. Nothing was ever traced to Alli or any close associate. In fact the road was only done by Osunbor's regime as governor. Do not just jump into argument. Read widely first. |

AreaFada2:Thank God u admitted what I said earlier maybe not in this post. Alli was very forthright. He didn't even build himself a house. But also honestly he couldn't account for the money like u said corrupt element within his party misused. So since majority were his appointees, he took the hit. Blame not Buhari rather those who betrayed Alli. secondly never try to segregate the North. when it appointments we loop all Northerner s together. The accusation of majority b4 that no northerner was jailed by Buhari. But the case of Zuwo dismissed that. If you knew the evil of Dikko u won't support him, the powerful Shagari transport minister who once opined that Nigerians have not yet started eating from dustbins goes to show the length he was willing to bring them to book. Tell me any leader in Nigeria's history that have fought corruption like the Buhari/Idiagbon. Well that of Ekueme, the SMT still maintained they found stach of cash in his bedroom. Well like every other human institution, it wasn't perfect, some Nigerians with honourable records were victims. Even Gani supported that anti corruption stance of the govt. Ask yourself, if that govt had been allowed to remain far longer, would we still be battling with corruption till now? Except we not sincere here. |
