Ifeanyi Baron Okugbo chronologically pens downs some of the corrupt Northerners that Buhari have reinstated through the backdoor:
1. AbdulRahman Danbazzau was fired as chief of army staff for corrupt practices in purchasing of arms and gas been appointed minister of interior by buhari
2. Mohammed Barkindo was removed as NNPC MD by the late yaradua for stealing huge kickbacks from oil and and been appointed as Nigeria's Secretary General to opec by Buhari
3. ACP Zakari Bui, a man accused and dismissed for aiding boko haram kingpin kabiru Sokoto to escape from detention was reinstated and promoted by buhari.
4. Abdul Rasheed Maina, a man that ran away since 2014 and has been declared wanted by efcc for embezzlement of N2bn pension funds have been reinstated as deputy director ministry of interior.
5. Ahmed Gambo Saleh, Registrar of the Supreme Court, He stole N2.2bn belonging to the Supreme court and was caught red handed and fire, today Ahmed Gambo Saleh has now been appointed the secretary of the committee monitoring corruption trials.
I can go on and on listing names.
Buhari recall on Maina is a sign that any Govt no matter how reckless or irresponsible can be called to order by Citizen Power. I have no doubt in my mind though that the man’s brazen recall was orchestrated at the highest levels of governance in our country. I have no confidence also in the fight against Corruption based on many instances of “see no evil; hear no evil” displayed so far by Buhari. If the highest office in the land could have been infiltrated by rats, it’s possible that shady rats in human form also thrive there.
Maina seems to my mind to be another victim of the power-play in this same highest office with Buhari as the umpire who has lost his whistle. The entertainment from what should be a dignified office continues to amuse us as the umpire allows foul after foul to be committed. Nigerians have woken up to the Deceit, Falsehood and Hypocrisy of the Buhari-led and APC-formed FG on Corruption and Good Governance. Neither the belated moves to win Anambra nor this move on Maina must deceive us. Rather we must ask: what of Babachir and Baru?
What this proves however is that responsible journalism can prevent a hopelessly irredeemable Govt from doing further damage before 2019. In this we must commend Premium Times on this one for exposing this instance of corruption hiding under an official toga of sainthood. Further commendation to those who all the while pretended to be asleep as this Govt covered and buried act after act of brazen corruption. To them i say “Good morning” although it is evening already because when a person wakes is his own morning so i say again “Good morning”.
The Govt doesn’t have sense - we’ve all seen it. But even senseless people can be forced to act sane if they’re put in restricting chains Or if they’re flogged with the cane Yorubas call “pankere” which is deemed to be the husband of every mad person - automatic temporary reset.
From now onwards: we mustn’t go back to sleep. It must be bumper-to-fender: absolute close marking of Govt by every responsible citizen. Question everything or allow those of us who want to question them to do so without you as a fellow citizen justifying them and attacking us. If all of us hadn’t spoken collectively and rejected the brazen Maina impunity: The APC broom would have swept it under the carpet. That APC broom of witches swept Buratai’s mansion in Dubai, Babachir Lawal’s Corruption with IDP funds and IkoyiGate all under the carpet. For now it’s not PDP versus APC - it’s all of us versus a Govt that will destroy our future if we don’t speak up. Politics will come later.
