President Buhari replies Gov. Fayose
President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the names of those who returned looted public funds would not be divulged, pending the determination of cases in courts.
Buhari made the disclosure on Wednesday in Abuja during his maiden Presidential Media Chat.
It would be recalled that Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, called on Buhari to publicly list the names of Nigerians who had stolen the state funds.
According to him, some people have returned stolen monies but their names will not be made public as they are assumed innocent until they are found guilty by the courts.
He said that his government had fared well so far in the fight against corruption and appealed to Nigerians to be patient.
He added that “under whatever circumstance, we cannot prejudge what the courts will do.
“We will submit the documents but how the Ministry of Justice will react to it is what we have to develop the patience.
“Once we have gone to court, we should keep our mouth shut; we cannot comment on issues when they are still in court.
“Monies have been recovered; the courts have discovered some looted monies in terms of submissions made to them and documentations including bank statements, where the monies are lodged and how much.
“I think we are doing quite well; considering the circumstances.
“Those suspected of being corrupt are innocent until they are proved guilty by the court.”
The President said that the Federal Government had found some documents indicating that so much money had been diverted into personal pockets.
He explained that documents had shown that Nigeria’s crude oil had been lifted illegally and the proceeds put into personal accounts instead of Federal Government’s account.
He, however, urged Nigerians to be patient and wait for the outcome of investigations and prosecutions, noting that Nigeria would be better for it.

When it's time for God to bless you after you have been waiting on Him for long, he has a way of adding some jara to the blessings...laughs. The baby pictured above has been declared Nigeria’s first baby of the year 2016. He was born at exactly 1:55 am at Abuja Teaching Hospital in Gwagwalada.
The lucky baby boy born to the family of Mr and Mrs Francis Elue from Niger State weighed 3.9kg. I hear his parents waited for 9 years to have him. Seems the baby was waiting to make history. Congrats!
Secret Plan To Assassinate President Buhari Exposed
Words like President Muhammadu Buhari should be careful about the safety of his life has been flying in the media for a few days now but www.kennynthny.blogspot.com did not pay much attention to it until his new friend, the popular Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka of Adoration Ministry added his voice to the said conspiracy to take out Mr President due to his resolve to change things in Nigeria.
Father Mbaka has revealed that there is a secret plan to kill President Buhari. Read his revelations...
“No matter how malignant the problem is, God says He will be in charge; fellow Nigerians, let us wait upon God; I have a new message; I’m blessing and covering the message we are giving now in the prophetic name of Jesus; Father speak now as your servant listens.
“In 2013, there was a prophecy that was going to be an oil doom after several years of oil boom, and when that message came out of this ground, many started calling me a prophet of doom. How can there be oil doom in oil boom? And the oil price continued to climb, but the message said people should start to gather as in the days of Joseph, that the people in government should continue to gather, let them stop squandering our wealth; but they never listened; throughout the six years we passed in the past administration, God blessed our oil with high prices, over N140 per barrel, but the message kept coming, don’t mind the oil boom, there is going to be oil doom, our politicians stop embezzling our wealth but they said the money will continue to come, our oil will continue to flow.
“During these moments of the oil boom, there was excess crude money, they didn’t know what to do with our money, when our youths were suffering and still suffering, graduates had no jobs, new industries were not built, our roads were not reconstructed, our hospitals were in shambles and total collapse; our educations systems were in shambles and these politicians were building good schools outside the country, Ghana, etc, even hospitals in South-Africa, and other neighbouring countries and when any of them is sick he will be flown outside the country because there is no hospital in the country worthy of authentic medication, you cannot find any country in Nigeria that has worthy diagnostic facilities; not one; the entire money voted for hospitals were looted out, corruption was in quantum, to the level that the Nigerian Bishops had to convene a prayer against bribery and corruption and enjoined all Catholics to be praying that prayer daily.
“All the money voted for roads were swindled; many of them became millionaires, billionaires over night in naira, in dollars, in pounds, in euro when they have no workshop; no business centre; somebody who has nothing doing, just because he is a politician, and they wasted our oil money, now the doom came and there is no preparation for it; the economy of Nigeria is an oil based economy.
“My beloved Nigerians, those who led us from last year downwards, they have killed this country; none of them is qualified to stay in this country by now, both the President, the Senators, the Reps, the chairmen of Local governments, the governors, they are wicked; it doesn’t matter the man of God they worship with; I tell you, before God and man, all of them are wicked; they hate this country, they succeeded in removing the liver, kidney and cardio vascular system of this country, and handed over to President Buhari, shambles, skeletal organs of this country; a nation that is comatic.
“Nigeria, as we speak now, economically, security wise is in the intensive care unit; if the oxygen is removed, Nigeria will die, people of God prayed, from here and there and God gave us Buhari. God has told us that Buhari is prayer answered; President Buhari is an answered prayer; whether you hate him or like him, Buhari is prayer answered; the Bishops of Nigeria, the Catholic Bishops prayed against bribery and corruption and this President came with a charter that has to do with war against corruption; all the prayers we have been doing about bribery and corruption, God answered it in Buhari who decided not to discriminate; there is nothing like religious or political discrimination in Buhari’s government. He needs all the support, unstoppable support; spiritual and otherwise; because if he is not the man in power now, had it been the last regime continued, by now, Nigeria would be for sale. All the monies voted to buy this and but that few people stole it; but we see joblessness, many have died because of a few people, and these same people want to use you to engineer crisis that Igbos are marginalized, nobody is marginalized; nobody marginalized us;
“I am not a sycophant; but I want to tell you that so far God is happy and he who God has blessed none can cause. Many people are planning to kill Buhari; there are many plans on how to eliminate his life so that corruption will continue; so that embezzlement will continue. But I speak to Buhari that God who put you there will protect you; be firm, remain resolute, don’t be intimidated; President Buhari God and his people are behind you, you are the answer to the prayer of His people.
“Can you eat your cake and still have it? Our past looters, not leaders, you may not understand, thieves in political positions, have eaten the cake of this country and now everybody is suffering it; the youths are suffering it, they want to tell you that you are marginalized; the Yorubas are not marginalized; the Hausas are not marginalized, Efik people are not marginalized; and it is only you people that are marginalized. In the present political scenario, the Igbos have the position of minister for external affairs in the person of Onyeama; the Igbo people have the position of science and tech in the person of Ogbonnaya Onu; if you go to Abia, you have industry and commerce, coming back to Anambra you have labour and productivity and the problem of our country today is unemployment and once there is job, there will be no kidnapping.
"The Igbos in the North are doing well; the Igbos in the West too, go to Alaba, they are treated with kindness, why are we engineering things that don’t exist; and like I said before, those saying this have their children abroad and they want to use you.
“Listen fellow Nigerians, as it is right now, most of what we are suffering now and we are going to suffer were caused few years ago but the Lord asked me to encourage you. Suffering is coming but it is not suffering under damnation, there is solution, it may take some time, but at the end of it, there will be testimony; Nigeria is the giant of Africa, Nigeria is the best country in this world; with the best weather; the country that produces the most strongest people; people who can survive everywhere, people who can relate with any type of person, people who can survive any type of weather- Nigerians; people who can prosper anywhere; the destiny, the dynasty, the authority, the destiny, what it takes to make Nigeria great is restored this year.
"As I have told you, there is going to be crisis but God will handle it. This year, God said my people will be overcomers, things will be hard but my people will be overcomers."
Presidency Makes Clarifications: We Won't Ban Hijab
The Presidency has dismissed insinuations and rumors that the Buhari administration has banned Hijab, the Muslim women’s dressing symbol of modesty.
Giving a clarification on the issue, Garba Shehu, the President's Assistant on Media and Publicity, said the speculations are unfounded, and that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims and others to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom as it affects everyone.
An official statement said: “Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution.”
Shehu, while admitting that the Hijab is being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violates the teachings of Islam, said the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.
According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijab by terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.
It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari in his maiden media chat said his government may ban the wearing of Hijab in public places, in view of its widespread use in suicide bombing.
