War Against Corruption: Nigerians in London chase AGF Aondoakaa back to Abuja
Nigerians in London today used their telephones to chase AGF Michael
Aondoakaa out of their city. The action followed an advisory by the
Nigeria Liberty Forum in London notifying Nigerian nationals that
Michael Aondoakaa was in the city.
"Nigeria and all haters of corruption have been alerted to the
presence in London of Nigeria's notoriously corrupt protector of
looters of Nigeria, Michael Aondoakaa," it said.
The Nigerian Attorney General of the Federation (who is being
referred to as Attorney General of Fraud) was staying at the London
Heathrow Marriot Hotel on Bath Road, Harlington, Hayes, UB3 5AN
United Kingdom, Phone: +44 20 89901100. He arrived in the UK
yesterday to deploy federal power against the impending trial of
President Yar'Adua's friends: the former Delta State Governor, James
Ibori, and Yar'Adua's Private Principal Secretary, David Edevbie.
The trial commences at the Southwark Crown Court on Monday.
The Nigeria Liberty Forum, which earlier this year successfully
organized the picketing of the presence of former president,
Olusegun Obasanjo, at the London School of Economics and Political
Science, urged Nigerians to protest Aondoakaa's presence from the
comfort of their homes by calling the hotel to ask them to kick the
AGF out of the place.
The NLF advised callers: "Be civil, ask to speak with Michael
Aondoakaa after you dial to speak with the operator. If he is there
in his room, curse the daylights out of him for destroying Nigeria;
if [he is absent], leave him a voicemail message.
"If you want to join in protesting his presence in London, contact
the Nigerian Liberty Forum by text on: 07984212553."
The Marriot Hotel management told Saharareporters that they found
themselves overwhelmed by calls from across the world within just 30 minutes.
They said that Mr. Aondoakaa, who had checked into the hotel yesterday, checked
out abruptly when alerted that so many people were calling to ask after him. Our
sources said Aondoakaa left empty handed without successfully securing any
meetings with the UK Home Office or the Crown Prosecution Service, the UK bodies
to which he was instructed to make some protests and submit "clearance papers"
on behalf of Ibori and Edevbie.
Aondoakaa, who also claimed to have attended a UN meeting for a few hours in
Vienna yesterday, told his friends who approached him about his recent
embarrassing conduct that he was merely playing the script of Nigeria's taciturn
and reclusive leader, Umaru Yar'Adua. He also told friends in London before
hurriedly departing for Abuja today, that he enjoys the confidence of Yar'Adua
in defending Ibori and other corrupt former governors. He bragged that Mrs.
Farida Waziri, who is currently traveling with her husband in Saudi Arabia, will
be in trouble for disowning his statement that the EFCC had cleared Ibori.
Aondoakaa also admitted that there were cracks in the Yar'Adua cabinet, saying
that some people want him removed at all cost. He singled out former EFCC
chairman, Nuhu Ribadu, as the biggest international headache for the Yar'Adua
regime, and vowed that Ribadu would be charged for treason in due course.
