Point and kill

Subsumed in controversy but definitely not rumours is the recent N10m donation that the award receiving Governor  of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje made to the EFCC. Nigerians are such a bunch of happy and mischievous people; or who else will read meaning to a harmless no strings attached donation to an anti graft agency that has  coincidentally refused to investigate an earlier $5 million bribery allegation against the generous governor?Both the governor and the EFCC have continue to fan this smoke without fire by not addressing the bribery allegations against them.

After his stint as governor in Edo State, the APC found that it was not good for Adams to be alone. He was conscripted under shadowy circumstances into the executives as chairman of the party to be fruitful and increase in numbers. The party didn't increase in numbers and it wasn’t long before Adam took the bite, heard the call and hid in United kingdom before coming back home to empty threats more from party members than opposition. As long as he doesn't break the hedge, Adams is not likely to be to be prosecuted.

 Atiku's case presents a bit of a paradox; prosecute him and the opposition will cry foul, leave him and the boat is rocked. There are other extraneous options, like waiting and pleading at the US embassy against your citizen that you swore to protect.  Anything short of Atiku in the dock and Obasanjo appearing as a star witness for the prosecution will be mocking the people’s sense of equity. PMB needs to take a stand. And judgement must start from his house. Otherwise we can kiss the anti corruption stance goodbye.
