Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti
State has asserted that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government
is the most corrupt in the history of Nigeria.
Fayose made the allegation while
accusing the President of “treating corruption involving his men as family
affair.”
In a statement issued by his
Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the
Governor wondered why the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, finds
it difficult to go after those close to the President but are always quick to
prosecute Nigerians opposing Buhari.
According to Fayose, “When
miscreants write petitions to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) against perceived opponents of President Buhari, EFCC will act
immediately, but when known Nigerians, including members of Buhari’s government
raise allegation of corruption against close allies of the President, the EFCC
will look the other way.
“As posited by APC Senator, Shehu
Sani, we are in a situation where perfume is being sprayed on corruption when
it affects Buhari’s men while insecticide is being sprayed on corruption when
it involves perceived political opponents of the President.
“When allegation of corruption is
made against Buhari’s men, EFCC acts like pet dog, but when it is against those
whose faces the President does not like, the anti-graft agency acts like lion.
“No nation can achieve greatness
with such a partial leadership.
“While Nigerians are still asking
questions as to what has happened to the report of the committee that
investigated the $43 million discovered in an apartment at Osbourne Towers,
Ikoyi, Lagos, allegation of $25 billion was made by the Minister of State for
Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, and as usual, the allegation like others
before it, is being treated as family affairs.
“Before now, the Acting Chairman
of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu was indicted of corruption by the Department of State
Service (DSS) and all that was done by President Buhari was to ask the Attorney
General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), to
investigate the DSS report. Up till today, nothing has been heard about it and
Magu, despite his rejection by the Senate, is still acting as the EFCC
chairman.
“Up till today, Nigerians are yet
to be told the owner of the Legico Shopping Plaza, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria
Island, Lagos inside which the EFCC claimed that it found N448.8 million cash.
“Despite the presence of CCTV
cameras, we have not been told the identities of those who brought the five
sacks in which the EFCC claimed that it found N49 million cash to the Kaduna
Airport.
“As far as I am concerned,
President Buhari is not fighting any corruption. He is fighting his political
foes and God is not a God of double-standard. This Buhari’s government is a
government of double-standard.”

ReplyDeleteWhich of the issues raised are you commenting on? It seems you just pass comment just because of your hatred for Fayose and/or your love for Buhari. I also guess that you wrote your comment without even reading the article at all. This is bad if you ever went to school because it might have been in vain. Even in primary school comprehension passage question, you were soppose to read the passage before attempting to answer questions on them, That is why it is called comprehension. If you lack this basic understanding you are not fit to comment on any issue on any platform. A word is not enough for a ..........
DeleteMakes sense for once. Buhari should look into these issues and get them appropriately treated to avoid being tainted. Integrity is about being fair to all & non-partisan
ReplyDeleteI taught i was the only one that sees nothing good in this Buhari_led administration. It's just full of fake things
ReplyDeleteI like PMB's administration if like go and contest for the president seat, if you win then play your own system of government and probe PMB's administration that's all
ReplyDeleteMike Abe i appreciate your comments .many idiot like oladele gbenga comments on issues without reading 📖 the article . Just like muktari zali who normally talk nonsense on this platform. Just because they have hatred for Fayose
ReplyDeleteWhen you research on the true meaning of integrity, most of the commentators commenting in favor of the present government will back peddal. Integrity means to be fair to all irrespective of party affiliation, religion and ethnicity. Discipline your own with sincerity, then the whole world will know that you have no double standard to it. By saying you have integrity, that is not enough and does not mean you are upright, but the outcome of your actions and inactions.
