Former Defense Minister Danjuma made the call in Takum, Taraba State days after the Vice President-elect, Professor Yemi Osinbajo raised concerns about the huge debt President Jonathan was leaving behind for to Buhari’s government to inherit.
Commenting on Saturday, Danjuma lamented that the outgoing administration had nothing to show for incurring the debt it has and emphasized that a probe was needed to find out how President Jonathan's Govt accrued this debt.
He said: “It is disheartening to know that the incoming government of Buhari will have to contend with a debt of over $60billion and there is nothing to show for this huge debt. Well, we would know what happened to these monies, because I believe that the Buhari administration has to, and should, in national interest, investigate the administration so that we would know what happened.”
The former minister said he chose to steer clear of politics because
“all the political parties are the same [and] very bad.” adding that “I rather steer clear of it. I support anyone who comes to me for money based on what I make of their person irrespective of political affiliations,” he said.

I dnt understand Jonathan o
Tnk u. All the parties are d same. Gullible literate Nigerians and illiterate Nigerian making noise for a new party, made from an old evil party. Same people, different name
The probe should start from him. See kettle dey call pot black
Anemenu!
Am in support of him, jonna's should be probe immediately he leaves office, dats a huge sum of money as debt.
Ova 60billion dollars? That's huge.he n his ministers sure deserve so nice probing.
My friend shut up and go hug a transformer. You and your cohorts made GEJ's government ungovernable. You are the chief host of corruption,and you should be probed for all your irregularities in the oil sector. Smello!
You should also be probed sir How did you make your billions ???
I strongly support this line of thinking, what is democracy without accountability, this government has been reckless and insensitive to the common man in Nigeria and should not be allowed to stroll with their loot otherwise the future is really bleak for this country.
He should do that, cos that is a huge amount of money.
Supported!! Jonathan and his cabinet are thief, making life difficult for people, heroes my feet,

I believe they should probe to find out what really happened. That might either indict or exonerate them. However are we even sure of Osibanjo's figure $60billion. I hope that this is not another case of Emir Sanusi's $20b? $10b?$15b?$25b???????????. Confusion confusion confusion
N how did u corrupt man get all d money u Av now.same corrupt chain.n u are opening ur stupid mouth to talk rubbish.go to ur backyard old man
Buhari should also probe how T Y Danjuma made his billions through dirty oil deals using his connection with Abacha
Mr Danjuma, we have not forgotten that you used to have some psychiatric problem! Try and take a good dose of your drugs, then you will remember that successive governments have not been probed. Even you, when you were in the Defence ministry, you need some probing as well!
My dear Nigerians pls lets us ask this Hypocrite called Danjuma how He is worth over 600 millions usd... A former minister... it is appalling how these so called govt officials embezzle monies and then pretend that they are without blemish... Buhari has a very complex job.. The question is where does He start from? and how far down the long line of corruption gods does He begin this so called probing.. Hmmmmmmm. Na Wah
His wordsleave me wit thought of wht is he really talking abt.
Check out dis words of his “all the political parties are the same [and] very bad.” adding that “I rather steer clear of it".
Oga u hav no business rendering any political advice.
$60 Billion for wat? Wat has GEJ gat to show for dat? Oga Jonah, ur administration has done more harm dan gud! GMB should PROBE him for d interest of d Nation.
IN NATIONAL INTEREST THEY SHOULD START PROBING FROM THE OBASANJO ADMINISTRATION UNLESS THE PROBE WILL NOT BE COMPLETE
Gej and his cohorts should be investigated.
Probing is a waste of time coz whether misappropriated or not, the money is long gone. Better to use his time for better things than probe. Those who embezzled should be the ones to be apprehended and sent to kirikiri.
p
Danjuma should be probed for the oil he is stealing from Niger delta and for the killing of Aguila Ironsi who he shot,after that Jonathan can be probed for whatever...
I AGREE! Nigerians need to start using their heads, lend themselves half a brain, and STOP accepting whatever is shoved down their throats! The fact that we accept this rubbish is why it's continually done to us. There is no fuel anywhere in the country, the federal reserve which was bountiful when this clueless govt entered power in now in a deficit to the tune of billions of dollars, there are no good roads, no water, no power, and the dollar is now N220. Despite all these some brain dead idiots believe Goodluck Jonathan is a Hero. He is a thief, a corrupt individual who's entire cabinet was equally as rotten. He enriched himself and all around him while others suffered and languished. They must ALL be probed and brought to book...ALL.
So Danjuma is now a saint, murderer like U. If the system was upright, U did be in prison by now atleast for all the atrocities U n ur group committed. Maybe U can start ur redemption by returning all the oil block that was given to U illegally.

Our voice is the voice of change!
I support him on this.m
I couldn't agree more with General Danjuma. The debts incurred, what did they use the money for? Bcos Nigeria has gone from bad to worse during this present administration. They really need to investigate the reason for that ridiculous debt. No light, no fuel, no refinery, no employment, no anything. GEJ is indeed a timid thief. If any anonymous is angry bout my statement, use the anger to power your generator
Danjuma should pls ask Osibanjo where he got that figure $60billion from. After all they have not been given hand over notes. I hope that this is not an avenue for chopping money in the new administration in the guise of paying debts.
ole talking. How did he make the billions of naira? The cash flow in his brothers and children's hands. Rubbish! lets start probing this oponu first. I dislike a country of people who have no integrity. Shame on you Danjuma.
The billions of dollars obasanjo soaked in the power sector during his tenure...
Who probed him? Mr Danjuma where you in coma then or you haven't understood the meaning of national interest then?
If Buhari should focus his tenure in witchhunting people in the previous govt, his administration will be worse than that of GEJ!
I strongly support this because this is so unbearable for us,People in GEJ administration would never find PEACE in their Miserable Life...Linda if you like no post my comment coz i know say Jonah na ur uncle !!!
The reason you steer clear of politics is because you only understand military lootocracy. Any body with half a brain knows GEJ did not borrow 60bn dollars. At least 80 percent of that debt is local debt that has accumulated over the last 50 years.
You are one of them... The do gooders.... How many oil wells do you have on the Niger Delta region?... It's all of you that pit Nigeria in the it is today... ..
Gbam! Well spoken.
He should hold it, if that be the case then they should also prob him with the collapse of Union Dicon salt. is it because GEJ is not a military person? Its pple like him who who are the problem in this country. Since after the civil war he has been head of defense and part of all the military govt what happen to all the funds voted for defence. haba its just that we leave in a country where we forget history soo fast.
Ok we have heard u
That, Jonathan must not escape
This man self!!!
Double wahala for dead body.
Danjuma is senile wasnt he badmouthing Baba Buhari during elections his greed is one of the problems we have in Nigeria he should be probed as well
Danjuma shud let GEJ be....what's his biz there.
Go to rest old man.. After he had allowed you in your oil bunkering you now open your mouth to vomit any balderdash.... Foolish people... THERE CAN BE NO ANOTHER PRESIDENT JONATHAN.... THE BEST EVER...
Theophilus Danjuma you are right. Both the political parties are bad because they are made up of the same people. The list of people from PDP that moved to APC are endless. Name the Amaechi, Okorocha, Tambuwal etc. The list goes on and one including the recent defectors. If you add Tinubu to the list it becomes potent. Move a bad apple from on basket to another it still remains bad.
I hope so'

Well if general danjuma says that buhari should probe ebele yes I really love dat and I ll be very happy if does happen but him self should tell Nigerias his sources of him income

#FOCUS n #ACHIEVE
$60billion . No road, no electricity, no fuel, hospitals are in shambles, educational system is eyesore, salaries not paid, unemployment is high. Nd we have this much debt.
may God Punish u and your Family if u have ever eating money that belongs to Nigerian's before Now. Thief anything u like u say he will collect de Oil Wells from u next year we know all of u evil man BASTAD.
The outgoing Jonathan administration must be probed. This is a worthless government and what Jonathan is doing is what we call (.Scorched Earth Policy ). Good riddance to Nigeria's worst nightmare.
Ok na. Where is d empirical evidence?
TYD...."I support anyone who comes to me for money......" money made from where? This probe must also include finding out how people like Danjuma got the money he wishes to dish out to those who require it from him. Arrant nonsense!!!
This man is to proud, he only talks about money money money, his Lagos office is even close to my office. His talking about buhari probing GEJ, has he forgotten that same GEJ gave him contract to import arms used in fight boko haram, over 300 billion naira. His MD told me that privately. Why are humans ungrateful. Makawhy? GEJ nothing will ever happen to you not even a day in the court of law. Amen. Engr Emy
Yes o, I support wat dis man said. Let dem b probe 4 national interest
Yes o, I support wat dis man said. Let dem b probe 4 national interest
I get his drift
I support anyone who comes to me for money based on what I make of their person irrespective of political affiliations.
God will visit you in due time.
Including you. Where did you steal all the billion of Dollars from.
All these politicians acting like saints. Like they all haven't stolen more than their fair share of national cake. They are really one to talk. Anyways to probe or not to probe....#wtching on plasma TV.
He and is wicked wife should b jail
Make una free buhari 4 us o.danjuma ma ass!!
Ok o!
Oga TY hit the nail on the head. If the whole country was electrified or some state of the art Hospitals were built across the country, we for understand but 60 Billion Dollars gone with nothing to show for it. Please, they need to return all the money. Chei, l wish this was Buhari of those days. E for don place all dem thieves under house arrest and seize all their stolen loot.
General, there is wisdom in silence. A lot of Nigerians may wish to know how you became one of Africa's richest men. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. And, as a Christian, you must recall the injunction by Jesus Christ, that he who is not guilty should cast the first stone. Pls sir, stop insulting our collective psyche.
Danjuma should be probed too. All these old generals ruined Nigeria and now we are back in their hands.
Useless man you go and probe him na
Before nko......
Saint Theophilus, you will be shamed!
And so says the one that has benefitted from all the administrations Nigeria has ever had. Hypocrisy.
U know say u done old so u go dey think like small pikin now.. So you want make the Niger delta people revolt for this country Abi? Cos that will just be the opportunity they have been waiting for
He should leave President Jonathan alone ooo if not the igbos and the Niger delta will make the country on governable for Buhari
Danjuma and his likes has to be probed first..because buhari dear not exercise regional and tribalistic justice in the name of fighting kwarufsion like he did in his military rigime
Danjuma you are a criminal. A member of the cabal that has destroyed Nigeria so shut your dirty trap! Horrible man!
you want a real DON, this is one, remember how respected he is by GEJ, remember how he never joined any party, remember how is is arguably the richest man in Nigeria, oh yh and remember his history?!!! I'm with him, I see why Buhari may want to be lenient with GEJ but then when you refuse to ask questions just because he did not rig election, the whole fairness and transparency you are known for is out the window, probe him yes!!!!!!!!
Though I'm a staunch supporter of President Jonathan re-election bid, I support Gen Danjuma on this! 60 Billion Dollars is a staggering amount of money! This debt incurred by Jonathan administration should be investigated to know the use it was put into! And any found culpable should be compelled to refund and also be penalized!!!
You are just a fool. Osibanjo is wrong . They shouldnt make excuses on why they wont perform, cos they promised us they will and i believe they knew the status of the economy evee since and they told us how they will do majic.What of various state govt as debt why only the FG
we will start with your oil blocks and all you have stolen from nigeria first. animal
I am not surprised at this recommendation. TY is an army general, good. Why hasn't he recommended probe for his fellas in the general regalia all these while? Even in the face of wide acclaimed corruption locally and internationally. We are not in a position to defend anyone here, if Jonathan has betrayed the trust placed on him by Nigerians, please let him answer for it. But Buhari cannot be fair if he refuses to do what nigerians are looking forward on him to do. That includes probing the Jonathan, the obasanjo's, the babangidas, the buharis as well, the abachas, the abdulsalamis, the Yaraduas, the wealth of the danjumas, dangote and dantatas. We must look into otedolas, adenugas, and the Chris ubas. All former state governors, senate presidents and vice presidents. Speakers of houses of reps and state assemblies, the emir of kano and many more that will follow. If we have to clean Nigeria, please let us clean all the nooks and crannies. No love lost. No sacred cow. No go area. Let us launch the cleansing revolution. The youths are happy to see this happen. Let no one make any sudden trip to any foreign land. Long live Nigeria.
Ayo...sincerely you re one among those intellect I have read commenting here..the truth shall set us free!,..
Danjuma is a shameless old retard. Someone should remind me how he made "his money". Stupid aboki enriched himself with our commonwealth and is here talking about probing somebody. The probing should start with him. Danjuma is most likely the worst Nigerian that ever lived, he has bloods of millions in his hands. May he never see peace in these his last days.
According to him "All the political parties are the same [and] very bad”.
I concur but how do you probe a man dat didn't declare his assets??? Linda take note!
NIGERIANS SHOULD PLEASE ASK MR THEOPHILUS DANJUMA WHERE AND HOW HE GOT HIS MASSIVE WEALTH. THEOPHILUS DANJUMA IS EVERTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH NIGERIA. BUHARI PLEASE PROBE HIM TOO.
That will be a very good move by Buhari. It will answer a lot of questions about Nigeria,it will start at the very beginning and get to the Jonathan administration . I like this sort of advice.
Thieves calling for probe. You nailed it! Start with all the former wicked rulers. They are all northern since independence.
He is a big wicked old man to whom Nigeria was sold to after the war

Idiot, he should also allow them to probe how he got his oil block...yeye man
Ayo, the cells wey dey ur brain dey intact!
Thumb up! That's a good question. I am on d same line wt u. Where did Osibanjo get that figure?
Jonathan is the worst president Nigeria has ever produced.definitely buhari has no option than to probe him even if Danjuma didn't ask of it,cos buhari need d money to fulfill his campaign promises.all u insulting Danjuma re the ones suffering bt cos of hate u igbos occupied within u can't let u see clearly.God wl put us above u haters.linda if u like don't post it ok.

Impossible in Nigeria
Who will probe the mega thief, Danjuma then?
Eer,pwc said 19.8b is missing.Sanusi wasnt that off when he said 20b. K
Danjuma is quite correct, but the probe should start from IBBs govmt who overthrew him from power and took our oil money,then to OBJ and then Jona
This piece of trash should stfu idiot may u never know piece and u haven't stolen from Nigeria, u no follow sink Nigeria, u r enjoying Naija Delta oil money now u want probe, u bloody ingrate when Naija Delta ppl start bombing oil pipelines u idiots will start complaining it's ur useless blood line dat will be probed assswipe!!!
Your father should be probed mumu, bandwagon
Danjuma should tell the Igbos what happened to his principal, Aguiyi Ironsi? Let him swear he is innocent of Ironsi's blood! What's his involvement in the genocide on Igbos all in the name of civil war? The killing of over 2millions Igbos mostly women n children, is his innocent of this crime to humanity? That Igbos kept doesn't mean we don't hv questions to ask..... Danjuma should stop insulting our sensibility o! Daft n mentally retarded old man
Thank u very much
Seems ur own father was part of jonathan's Govt. Tell him to waith for d punishment of the hardship he inflicted upon millions of Nigerian.
