Corruption And The Confused Presidency

The long overdue suspension and investigation of the SGF, David Babachir Lawal for violation of law and due process in the award of contract and his counterpart DG of NIA, Ambassador Ayo Oke for claiming the 'Ikoyi 13' is a clear indication of how confuse the presidency is.

Recall that the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo who has been appointed the chairman of the three man presidential committee to investigate these matters and the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami who is a member of the said committee challenged the allegation against the SGF then and clear him off  the charges. That was after their jamboree/presidency investigation. For the same man to be suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari now is a clear indication that these men are incompetent investigators who had failed integrity test and disappointed Nigerians.

I wonder why we spent tax payers money on budgets of EFCC, ICPC, DSS and even NIA that are independent if they cannot be trusted with the responsibility of their primary assignments which is  to investigate anyone find culpable. What we have ironically is the Presidency investigating the Presidency whom they once exonerated. In fact, committees are always a bigger lie created to cover small lies.

The Presidency is hereby advised to stop perceiving the National Assembly as opposition but partners in development and that should not stop both arms of government from checking each other. I could remember that it was the Senate that alleged that the SGF through his private firm misappropriate funds meant for IDPs in North East. Sen. Shehu Sani in particular and the leadership of the senate were not happy with the manner in which the allegation was handled by the Presidency.

As a result of this and other issues between both arms of government, many Nigerians who are ignorance of the inner situation are calling the NASS particularly the Senate different negative names. Some move further to asked that the Senate be scrap for carrying out their constitutional duties while some kept asking for Saraki's head.

Gaskia there are so many questions to be answered by the culprits. The NIA DG docked money supposedly meant for national security through his wife who is not a NIA official in a private apartment. Government Agency cannot save money with the CBN again, who is fooling who?

Note that so many lives must have been lost to insecurity which this cash was meant for (according to the liar) since 2015. Help ask him when will they use the money for his 'covert operation', 2025? Ojelu gbogbo.

Based on logistics and the fact that Jonathan/Sambo's fliers was with the cash, I think the cash is remnant of 'Jonathan's dollarization' waiting to be shared.

Finally, My stand like other well meaning Nigerians are:

• I do not trust this committee, even a madman will not speak against himself. 
• Establish independent committee that should consist of the likes of Femi Falana and trusted individuals. However, the best is to hand them over to EFCC, why committee that doesn't have prosecution prowess.
• The process should be open for all to see.
• They should be sack and prosecuted accordingly if found guilty.
• President Buhari should not see corruption allegations levelled against any member of his cabinet as embarrassing to his government, they can only embarrass themselves.

We must change our attitude and be Godly if we desire progress as a Nation. This is strictly my opinion.
