Attempt To Distort Facts On The Alleged Missing $2.8bn From NNPC Account Under Buhari Military Regime

I was alarmed this morning when I received a message from whatsapp from one my numerous contacts suggesting that the current travails of the Senate President, Dr Abubukar Bukola Saraki is being masterminded by President Muhammadu Buhari because his father, late Dr. Olusola Saraki as Senate Leader in the 1980s headed a Committee that allegedly indicted the then General Muhammadu Buhari!

Nothing can be farther from the truth. I know I am not the Spokesman of President Buhari but as a conscientious citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I am duty bound to refute with all my mighty such  devilish efforts to peddle falsehood and plain lies against the person of  President Buhari by some faceless hirelings on the pay roll of some corrupt mandarins who have deservedly found themselves at the wrong side of the law to ?pull wood over the eyes of gullible Nigerians who were not born in the 1980s.

At least I was in Secondary School when the brohaha over the alleged missing $2.8 billion broke out in the nation political firmament so I can vividly give an account of what The administration of President Shehu Shagari constituted a Judicial Commission of Inquiry headed by the late Honourable Justice Ayo Irikefe to probe the alleged missing $2.8 billion from NNPC account in Midlands Bank London. The Commission found that no such money was missing from NNPC account. The Commission totally enoxerated the then General Muhammadu Buhari.

It is therefore preposterous, ridiculous and indeed a lie from the pit of hell for anybody to suggest that President Muhammadu Buhari is witch hunting Dr. Abubukar Bukola Saraki to settle scores with him because his father, Dr. Abubukar Saraki as Senate Leader in 1980 headed a Senate Committee that purportedly indicted General Buhari over the so called missing $2.8 billion NNPC money.

The truth of the matter is that the Senate never conducted a hearing on the matter as the government of the then President Shagari promptly constituted the Justice Irikefe’ Judicial Commission of Inquiry to probe the alleged missing $2.8 billion as soon as the matter was raised on the floor of the Senate. Justice Ayo Irikefe was to become the Chief Justice of Nigeria, the Report of the Irikefe’s Commission and the White Paper issued by the administration of the then President Shehu Shagari can be accessed in the archives of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

It will do everybody good if Dr. Saraki would allow his lawyers to defend him before the Code of Conduct Tribunal over the allegations levelled against him rather than wasting time and resources  employing and deploying Internet attack dogs to carry out a smear campaign President Buhari. !

The FBI had said in July its investigation was finished but reopened the investigation after discovering new mails “that appear to be pertinent.” The disclosure raises the possibility of the FBI reopening the criminal investigation involving the Democratic presidential nominee just days before the election, although it is not clear if that will happen.

Ken Saro-Wiwa's Death; Nemesis Arrived Justice Auta's Home

"Don't bother to ring a bell in the ear that doesn't listen. Move to another ear, and if he doesn't listen to your bell, sit back and listen to his nemesis."-Michael Bassey Johnson. Twenty five years ago judgment was passed by Justice Auta to hang famous Nigerian writer, Ken Saro-Wiwa and since then the man has been living and rising in his career forgetting that one day nemesis will surely catch up on him. Tope Tomekun wrote about the ugly death of Ken Saro-Wiwa and the nemesis befalling the man who decide his fate. The day was Friday, November 10, 1995! It was a black Friday in Ogoni land and in Nigeria among good men. It took five attempts to hang Ken Saro-Wiwa before the Nigerian writer spoke his last words and his body went limp.  "Lord take my soul, but the struggle continues," were his last words that Friday morning, blindfolded and dangling from a rope. And he died!  “In my innocence of the false charges I face Here, in
