CORRUPTION & LOOTING OF OUR COMMONWEALTH BY POLITICIANS.

One of the Campaign promises of President Buhari was the fight against CORRUPTION in Nigeria.
 Its the major reason why most enlightened individuals voted for him.

The first salvo was against the Senate President' wife. Next was the Senate President who lied when declaring his assets. From there, we have had questioning and arrest by the anti-corruption agencies of Politicians and Government Officials  who looted the treasury. Even the so called uncommon transformation crooner in Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio was called for questioning by EFCC

Then came the arrest of  Dasuki and the drama began. Right now the drama is just unfolding because all the stories going round and from the social media are from gossips of what they imagined the former NSA said.
Find below some of the documentary evidence as provided by the suspects or accused.



Imagined the money meant for Arm,s Purchase for the military fighting the insurgents- Boko Haram Terrorists in the North East was diverted and the money ended up in the pockets of  politicians. Dasiku was in charge of disbursement and anyone that happened to walk into his office was dashed millions of Naira or millions of Dollars.  He became an ATM machine loaded with Nigeria's money for the wastage of PDP members.
Find below the letter  from the former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonji Iweala to  President Jonathan on the requests from Dasuki . The President approved the rerlease of the money but the purpose for that approval was not achieved.


 Corruption has eaten deep into our systems. Everywhere you turn, the stench of corruption is suffocating.
According to Bafarawa, former Governor of one of the States in Nigeria, "today, one can say that up to 90 percent of Nigerians are corrupt because when you go to the grassroots level that is where corruption starts.

“The electorate will demand money before they elect you into office no matter how good you are, no matter the kind of ideology you have and intend to bring for their own good.

“If you don’t give them money, they would not support you. The game is that anyone who comes and shares money to them gets the support and nothing more.”
This is so true but under Goodluck Jonathan's administration, 99 percent of Nigerians became corrupt. The Politicians just thought money can buy everything and went about flaunting their ill-gotten. Many became mesmerised and lost their dignity and integrity.
The Dasukigate has thrown up so many things. Men that we claimed were honest were shown in another light. People like Olu Falae, a former Minister that we used to think was above board, was one of the beneficiaries of the arms money. He did not deny it.
Others were Olisa Metuh, spokeman of PDP, Olabode George, Tony Anenih, Bafarawa etc.
Above is the letter from the Publisher of THISDAY Newspaper. He claimed the money he collected was for his bombed building in Abuja.
Many newspapers and journalist were mentioned too as beneficiaries of the arms money: AIT's Raymond Dokpesi and Nduka Obaigbena. We even read that Obaigbena used the proceed to set up ARISE TV that shows on DSTV.
Dasuki"s family was not left out of the Naira rain. N1.675 Billions of Nara  to his younger  brother, Abubakar Dasuki. As at this time many States had started owing staff salaries for months. awaouldnt they had used this money to pay workers that were owed?
The problem now is that anyone arrested on corruption charges claim witch hunting. I wonder which witch is hunting them. If they did not want to be hunted, they should have not stolen our treasury dry.
The case is in Court. I hope all those found to have corruptly enriched themselves will be prosecuted and jailed so that others will learn from it.
