Don’t humiliate Jonathan with probe – Igbo group tells Buhari

A group known as Igbo Leaders of Thought, have warned President Buhari against using the probe of the immediate past federal government to humiliate former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The group, led by constitutional lawyer, Professor Ben Nwabueze, released a statement titled “Only truth and justice endures.”

The statement was signed by its deputy secretary, Evangelist Elliot Uko, where it was stated that the probe must be devoid of “witch-hunting and smear agenda.”

“Desirable as the probe and prosecution of corrupt officials of the outgone regime is, we must endeavour to avoid witch-hunting and smear agenda.

“Only the probe and prosecution of factual, traceable and clearly identifiable cases of abuse of office and misuse of public funds will inspire confidence and receive commendation of the citizenry and the international community.

“Humiliating and deliberately degrading political opponents in the guise of probe and prosecution of corrupt officials will only reduce the whole exercise to a jamboree, that could lead to a lot of a acrimony and bad blood which we believe, is the last thing Nigeria needs at the moment.”

  1. its a nice idea if Mr president wants to probe the outgone administration, but i wish to say that he should not be tribalistic about it,or make it a witch honting thing he should make sure he probes even the outgone politicians in the previous administration who are still in this present administration irespective of there political parties be it APC or PDP.

  2. The probe will vindicate the Former President, Dr GEJ as well as bring those holding Nigeria to ransom to book. The probe will throw up surprises. I can assure you but once started it will not stop but go north east west and south. There will be no exemption.So the Igbo group should not worry

  5. They are right on this, let Mr. president forget that and face our economic problem

  6. People who are old in nigeria dont think about the grave they will soon enter and God they will soon face. Shame on professor Nwabueze. How dare he tells Buhari how to go about how to probe corrupt public officials. Does he know better than him? Jonathan is not a small boy but a phd holder who should be able to face the consequences of his actions or inactions, without tribal and local champions support!

  7. when did prof become a collaborator with corrupt politicians? sir, i advise you keep quiet because your guilty silence during the reckless regime of GEJ is why we are where we are.

    1. Buari should probe all past government not only Jonathan
