Robert Clarke, a Senior Advocate
of Nigeria, SAN, on Tuesday called on President Muhammadu Buhari to speak with
former Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed
Maina.
Clarke explained that by speaking
with Buhari, leakages in the Pension scheme would be exposed and looting would
stop.
Speaking on Channels Television,
the senior lawyer noted that there is a lot of rot in the system which Maina
needs to expose.
According to Clarke, “His action
now is not to prove his innocence, his action now is to prove that there is a
leakage in the system which needs to be covered up and he knows it – It is in
the interest of government to call him down and let him speak and show the
government where these leakages are.
“Maina has come out now to say
that through this system I have been able to steal so much, now I want to help
you to curb this system.
“Whichever language he uses, when
you recover and you did not tell people and you did not return it, what does
that mean.
“If I recover on behalf of
government and I still keep the money, it means something else, it’s not
recovering.
“If he participated in it, then
he has to pay the price, if he did not participate in it and he is aware of it
and never blew the whistle then, he is also as guilty.
“But I will agree with him to sit
down with Mr President and let Mr President know that the system you are
running, there are so many loop holes. That the civil servants in this country
have walked through this system and are making a hell of money out of this
system – So I agree with him, he should be given the opportunity”.
