In the spirit of fairness, justice and democratic accountability, Buhari's probe should extend to the civilian regimes of Obasanjo, Yaradua and Jonathan.

We can ''forgive'' the military regimes before Obasanjo (that is, pre-1999) as we did not elect them into power (painful, but what choice do we have as Buhari himself was a former military leader; so I guess he cannot probe himself).

So Obasanjo, Yaradua (should be raised from the dead to answer questions ) and Jonathan should be probed. Then Buhari should be ready to be probed after his own regime.

This is good for democracy.

BTW, we should also probe the leadership of the Senate and House during these civilian regimes, as well as all past State governors (most of these governors are the worst criminals in Nigeria)

OP when did it become Buhari's job to initiate a probe that outlives his capacity? He inherited a widely acclaimed corrupt government which was one of the major reasons he was elected, he needs to clear things up for the next government to succeed him. Probing OBJ is just waste of time, what are you looking for exactly? Halliburton is being investigated, any other outstanding alleged corruption is with the EFCC, I don't see the sense going that far except he wants to spend his time in government probing and not doing anything meaningful.

I mean, he should do what he wants to do and forget critics for once, what's all this? Did anyone dictate to OBJ who to probe when he instituted EFCC?

See how convenient it is for some of us who didn't even vote for him to be asking for probe not minding if it will affect the functioning of his government in delivering campaign promises, then later we'll rush back and say he was no good. That's exactly what critics do and that's exactly why they should be ignored on some issues

Speaking about past military regimes, Abacha has somehow been probed to an extent by Obasanjo; a lot of Abacha's loot was recovered. The only military big fish left is IBB, and may be Abubakar.

I believe the military regimes of Obasanjo and Buhari were by far less corrupt. than those after them.

Generally speaking, the military leaders were accountable to no one. They risked their lives and hussled themselves into power; no one voted for them. On that note they no ''owe'' anybody (so to speak)

In as much I want to agree with you I beg to differ a little.
1- the anti- corruption war is not a 100m race, it is a long tedious, convoluting herculean task, this administration cannot focus on only this as there are many needs of Nigerian hence may need to take on the last administration whose level of impunity has never been paralleled anywhere in the world since the creation of mankind.
Money recovered from this last administration alone can catapult Nigeria into one of the top economy in the world in less than 4yrs, if well utilized. Hence I support the need to focus firstly and importantly on the last administration.
2- for the other administration's anybody who has evidence of corruption should write to EFCC: now that anti- graft agency has resurrected from the dead and are willing to carry out their responsibility

I have already said that the last administration should be probed. But so should the other 2 democratic govts too. Obasanjo's govt was by all means more corrupt than GEJ's. Plus, are you by any means suggesting that the state past govts should be allowed to go home free?

OP, why not Buhari probe till the days of Sir Fredric Luggards?

Just because Nigeria want to recover the funds that was looted by the past administration, some clowns want us to embark on a journey of the shadows up to 1850.

Let Phase One of probing Jonathan's administration end first. You can send us on round 2.

And you think the last administration just looted the treasury without also going away with incriminating dossiers against previous govt, including Buhari's PTF? You hope that the past govt will stand in the dock and not implicate past ones with incriminating information at their disposal?

I do not think it is far back in history to probe the 3 most recent past administrations. If you think so, then you are doing a charade.
