REVEALED: Nigeria's Goodluck Jonathan May Soon Go to Jail and Later Executed by Buhari

After having observed the look of things on the political landscape of the West African country of Nigeria, we at Mondia Analysis, believe former President, Goodluck Jonathan is most likely to be jailed and later executed by the present APC-led Administration of Muhammadu Buhari. Although many we have shared this belief with tended to immediately dismiss the possibility, below is our basis for this prediction:

It is to be recalled that a National Security Adviser (NSA) under the Goodluck Jonathan-led former PDP administration, Colonel Sambo Dasuki was arrested by Nigeria's State Security Service (SSS) on December 1, 2015 for allegedly stealing $2.1 billion and awarding questionable contracts related to the purchase of 12 helicopters, four fighter jets and ammunition meant for Nigeria's military campaign against the Boko Haram militants in the country. The former NSA has been standing trial since then, and the world media has been awash with endless revelation of unhearable (even unbearable) fraudulent transactions connected to the $2 billion in question.

As this article is being published, the latest item in the list of these revelations is that a former People's Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) chair, Tony Anenih has written Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) explaining how he disbursed a sum of US$1,306,206.2 (290 million Nigerian Naira) paid into his bank account from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) during Colonel Dasuki's tenure saying he shared the money "following instructions" as reported by the Nigeria-based The Nation Newspaper owned by an APC Chieftain, Ahmed Bola Tinubu. Anenih is also reported to have revealed that he transferred the sum of USD316,503.81 (63 million Nigerian Naira) of the 1.3 million USD to an obviously informal group co-ordinated by a former special assistant to Nigeria's former President Shehu Shagari in the person of Alhaji Tanko Yakassai reportedly "for the 2015 presidential election".

Now, let us all remember that the sum of money based on which all these transactions are allegedly made relates to the fund meant for combating militant terrorism which has claimed 20,000 lives and displaced 2.3 million people from their homes according to a Wikipedia entry. Now, if it turns out true that the money was diverted to fund the Presidential elections of Goodluck Jonathan "following instructions" while thousands were dying and millions were being made homeless, then the judiciary might interpret it to mean that whoever gave the instructions in question, was by implication responsible for the death of those thousands. The next question would be "who gave the instruction?" Whoever's name that becomes the answer to this question would therefore be charged guilty not only of murder but of mass murder. And whom do you think would have given the instruction? Your guess is as good as mine.

The only just punishment for murder is execution and the law is no respecter of persons. Now, is it Mr. Muhammadu Buhari who is so strong against graft that he would even disobey court orders  to release people charged with criminal offenses that will now have the full backing of the law and would not act against his arch political enemy? Well, the former president may end up not being executed but this is what we can bet on: the Muhammadu Buhari-led Administration will at least attempt it.
