The group considered former president was the target of the controversy surrounding some supposed missing loots from the country’s treasury during the term of the immediate past government. On respond to this development, Femi Adesina, Buhari’s spokesperson asked why people would worry on speculations when nothing concrete had been brought about Jonathan.

Ogiemudia said:“We, the members of the Vanguards of Nigeria’s Democracy, are aware of some clandestine moves made by the APC-led government to probe, investigate, malign and imprison ex President Jonathan. We are already aware of the trumped-up charges the APC government is leveling against a man who has diligently served the Nigerian state at the highest level of government. “The APC led government should take notice that the appointments made so far are skewed in favour of the North, as no Ijaw man has been appointed. While an Ijaw President did not discriminate in appointment, President Buhari is implementing a Northern agenda through some of the appointments.” It should be noted that Sambo Dasuki, who was recently put under home arrest by SSS operagtives, said that the security agency is desperate to implicate him in supposed security breaches, saying his ordeal was a sheer witch-hunt.
