I am certain the list can be very long but let us just stick with a few ridiculous instances of open support for corruption by this administration.

1). The Former SFG
First, the dramatic events surrounding the allegations against Babachir Lawal, the former secretary to the federal government.
This man was found (through the senate's investigations) to have committed gross sharp practices with funds approved for the betterment of IDPs affected by Bokoharam.

The funny thing is the president had established that the gravity of the crime committed by the former defense minister in allegedly misappropriating defense money was so grievous because the funds were meant to keep innocent civilians in the north safe from Boko Haram.

Fast-forward to 2017 when the all the sharp practices revealed to be carried out by the the SGF's company or by him came to the fore, the president (the current president Buhari) actually...

... Sent a letter to the senate actually clearing him of all wrong doing after a thoroughly carried-out (yet, to this day, very invisible) investigation.

2). The Maina Saga

Maina is the biggest alleged thief in Nigeria’s civil service history. He was dismissed by former President Jonathan after allegedly making off with over $130 million. He was also declared wanted by the International Police (Interpol) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Yet, Maina, was recalled, reinstated and double promoted by the Buhari administration. When the Nigerian Senate sought to probe the circumstances of his recall and reinstatement, President Buhari’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice went to court to secure a kangaroo injunction to stop them.

The current head of service of the federation, Mrs Winifred Ekanem Oyo-Ita, revealed that she personally and verbally warned President Buhari of the Maina affair BEFORE he was recalled and the President REFUSED to stop the immoral action.

According to Junaid Mohammed, the Buhari government gave Maina armed guards to protect him and was preparing him to contest to he Governor of Borno before his cover was blown.

Abdulrasheed Maina is known to have many properties

3). The NHIS Boss

4). Lieutenant General Turkur Buratai:

After the scandal burst that President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Army staff had bought multiple properties in Dubai allegedly worth $1.5 million, the Nigerian Army released a statement claiming that Mr. Buratai and his wife bought the properties from proceeds of their “personal savings”.

However, the same Buhari administration is trying Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia in court for corruption and rejected her argument that the sum of $793,800, which she was alleged to have, was from her legitimate earnings.

Federal High Court judges earn more than Major Generals in the army (A’s Buratai was when he made the suspicious purchases). If the Buhari administration rejected Justice Ajumogobia’s argument that she could have $793,800 from her legitimate earnings, how come they are willing to accept Turkur Buratai’s argument that he bought the alleged $1.5 million Dubai properties from his ‘personal savings’.

5). Timipre Sylva

On June 1, 2015, two days after President Buhari was sworn in, the new APC government WITHDREW the charges preferred against Timipre Sylva, a known All Progressive Congress financier, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and on October 3, 2018, the EFCC returned to Sylva, 48 houses seized from him during the administration of former president, Goodluck Jonathan in 2013.

How can the Buhari administration justify returning 48 houses to Sylva? And why is Sylva not on the list of those whose property are affected by Executive Order 6 of 2018?

What legitimate business has Mr. Timipre Sylva engaged in to justify his acquisition of 48 houses?

Only the living dead(zombie) can not see the lies and hypocrisy of this government.
.
All sane humans have lost count of the number of lies, cover ups, political persecution, flagrant disregard for court orders and the rule of law, failure to go after mass murderers, insensitive statemnts , nepotism, to list just a few.

It is glaring. A young Nigerian entrepreneur based in the US was asked on CNN to list 3 good things this Administration has done........ He sat for about 5seconds and said "No disrespect to President Buhari but I can't think of anything" .
.
Its that bad
