Another Kudos To The Credibility Of President Muhammadu Buhari Over His Anti-Corruption War!

One key policy the Buhari administration has prided itself since inception has been the war on corruption'' as it's being called. But without doubt, you would agree with me that there has been loads of questions whether the war is being fought in all honesty or if it is a mere cosmetic gimmick to continue to paint the former administration black while the evil continue to go on unnoticed.

We have heard loads of stories of monumental corruption cases to make us raise eyebrow and doubt the cause of this war, but while we hope that our doubts might be cleared, more cases continue to occur.

The latest of those cases is that 48 choice houses acquired by former Bayelsa State governor Timipre Sylva while in office and were seized by the Goodluck Jonathan anti corruption crackdown have all now been returned back to him with all cleared as not being proceeds of corruption. You may recall the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in 2013, seized the 48 choice houses belonging to the former governor as he was being prosecuted at a Federal High Court in Abuja for the misappropriation of N6.46 billion of Bayelsa state funds while he was governor of the state.

The dude jumped ship into the camp of President Muhammadu Buhari and two years into Buhari's hard stand on corruption, the bloke has got all his property back.

According to reports, the houses includes; 3 River Niger Street, plot 3192 Cadastral zone AO, Maitama District Abuja; nine units (comprising six one bedroom and 3 two bedroom apartments) at 8 Sefadu Street Wuse zone 2, plot 262 Cadastral zone AO2, Wuse Abuja; and 2 units duplexes at 5 Oguta Street, plot 906 Cadastral zone Wuse 11 Abuja.

All Cleared Former Gov Sylva

Others are: a duplex at Plot 1271 Nike Street Cadastral zone AO5, Maitama District Abuja; a duplex at Phase 1 Unit No. 1 (Villa 1) Palm Springs Gold Estate, Cachez Turkey Projects Limited, Mpape, Abuja; 10 units of one-room apartments at 8 Mistrata Street plot 232 Cadastral zone Wuse 11 Abuja; 5 units duplexes at Plot No 1070 Dakibiyu District Cadastral zone B10, Abuja; 16 units service apartments at Plot 1181 Thaba Tseka Crescent, Off IBB Way, Wuse 11, Abuja and 3 units of three- bedroom flats at No. 1 Mubi Close, Plot 766. Cadastral Zone A01, Garki, Abuja.

This is Buhari for you!. We can go on and on in citing cases of corruption involving his aides and cabinet members which he has since swept under the carpet and still has the audacity to talk about anti corruption.

For instance, most recently, the report of the investigation into the corruption allegations levelled against the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Director General of National Intelligence Agency has been turn-in, without any word from the presidency and speculations are that the blokes will be let-off hook as soon as possible.
