President Muhammadu Buhari has solicited the aid and cooperation of the international community in the anti-graft war.

President Buhari in his keynote address at the Solemn Hearing to commemorate the 20th anniversary
of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague, specifically appealed to member states to support ICC with jurisdiction over serious cases of corruption and illicit financial flows by state actors.

According to him, a strong and effective ICC has the potential to send a powerful message about the international community’s commitment to accountability, a message that will be heard by both victims and perpetrators.

“Equally, a strong and effective ICC demonstrates the international community’s commitment to the rule of law.

“A strong and effective ICC can also act as a catalyst for other justice efforts, expanding the reach of accountability.

“These could include serious cases of corruption by state actors that severely compromise the development efforts of countries and throw citizens into greater poverty.

“These could also include cases of illicit financial flows where countries are complicit and obstruct repatriation of stolen assets. As the African Union Champion on Anti-corruption, these are issues dear to my heart,” he said.

He also assured the international community that the 2019 general elections will be free, fair and peaceful.

He said the kind of violence that characterised the 2011 elections would not happen under his watch.

“Let me intimate you that Nigeria is preparing to conduct general elections in 2019. Contrary to the tragic incidents that characterised the 2011 general elections in Nigeria which necessitated preliminary investigations by the International Criminal Court, I assure you that all hands are on deck to prevent any recurrence of such tragic incidents.

“We shall do everything possible to ensure that Nigeria witnesses the conduct of free, fair and peaceful elections in 2019,” he said.

President Buhari thanked the judges of the court for electing a Nigerian, Chike Eboe-Osuji, as president, saying that Nigeria was proud of him.

    The fraudulent criminal ICC of 20th century world international order is dead and gone forever. The fraudulent political name Nigeria with its fulani fraudulent criminal sultanate political government with its emirates and their brainwashed terrorism mercenaries nickname military, police etc. controlled by British bandits and fraudulent criminal America with their fraudulent criminal UN of 20th century world international order, are dead and gone forever. This is 21st century world international order which has Southern Countries Union- SCU which comprises Asia, Africa, South America and parts of Europe led by Russia, Turkey representing Europe, China, India, Japan, Indonesia representing Asia, Brazil, Mexico representing South America, Egypt, South Africa representing Africa, under which this territory natives of Disintegrated Republics exist and secured. Disintegrated Republics of the natives- Biafra Republic of south east, Niger Delta Republic of south south, Oduduwa Republic of south west, North East Republic, North West Republic, North Central Republic, which must be defended with the Sword in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary Warfare of the natives which ends in Sokoto- the sit of the satan of this natives territory. Freedom of northern natives from fulani bondage is a must with the Sword in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary Warfare of the natives. Freedom of this territory natives from the bondage of the fraudulent political name Nigeria is a must with the Sword in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary Warfare of the natives. There’s no Democracy in this natives territory under the dead fraudulent political name Nigeria. Democracy exist only under the natives Disintegrated Republics which must be defended with the Sword in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary Warfare of the natives which ends in Sokoto- the sit of the satan of this natives territory. God given Victory is the natives. Only the Sword decides. God Is With Us!!!

    Fool. He displayed his foolishness in Netherlands. Rather than talk about the killings going on in his country he tried deceiving the ICC with his Inglorious corruption song. The ICC should have detained him because he has a lot of questions to answer . He Must pay for the senseless killings going on here

    This News Report above is what we call in Germany ,”Ente”.
    It is indeed a fake News planted in The SUN’s Newspaper.
    Since when is the International Criminal Court at the Hague,in the Netherland, a forum for handling Corruptions Cases and Free and Fair Elections in the world?
    Here in Nigeria for over a decade now, there have been an ongoing incipient genocide against Indigenous
    Minority Christians in the Middle Belt; in particular is the case of the Beroms of Plateau Sstate,who have over
    the years borne the brunts of it all and it is President Buhari’s Fulani folks who are responsible for that.
    Currently there are daily pogroms and ethnic cleansings going on in this God-forsaken moribund ,shithole failed State of ours.
    We Indigenous Nigerians had expected to read about President Buhari discussing the ongoing daily heinous crimes against humanity by his Fulani muslim folks in this country not lies as reported by the SUN.
    Why did the SUN a very respected National Newspaper in Nigeria, print such a shameless ‘Ente’?
    However,our rogue Fulani President ,Mallam Muhammadu Buhari is a born pathological damned liar anyway.
    Cusrse be upon Buhari and his alien cattle driver Fulani folks.
    No to the status quo ante bellum!
    Down with Hausa/Fulani/Kanuri Islamic Hegemonny!!
