Thank you Abati for this balanced piece. There is quite a lot that meets the eye in this current palaver between OBJ and Atiku.

I have read the report and note that the evidence is not strong enough for any impeachment. What is clear is that the vindictiveness of OBJ, once again, has been brought to the fore. I am worried about the type of people running Nigeria. OBJ has not shown any maturity in the handling of this case. In normal cases of this nature, given the corpus of this report and where suspicions may be evident, then refer the case to a court of competent jurisdiction. When the court has decided it would then be proper to send findings to the national assembly, if a guilty verdict was pronounced by the said court. Referring the case to the National Assembly now is puuting the cart before the horse. This is a diversion meant to split the Assemblymen/Senators and detract them from passing the many issues/bills before the house.

While no one is condoning any form of malfeasance in government, one applauds the EFCC for the transparency of the report. But it should go further to investigate the presidency, as there are many issues of financial irregularities: demanding money by coercion for the building of a presidential library, withdrawing monies from the Abuja Stadium account, being mute about the account of the Petroleum Ministry for which OBJ has been the sole Minister for the past seven years, his influence in the Transcorp buy out of the Abuja Hilton using the Stock Exchange as a 'de facto' collateral.

In short, the days of the long knives are here and Nigerians are going to witness accusations and counter accusations. A massive distraction from the thievery that is going on now in the executive branch of government. One thing is clear, none of the current crop of leaders should be allowed to rule Nigeria again.

Siddon look is apt in this circumstance as the nation grinds to a halt!
