Abdulrasheed Maina, embattled
former Chairman of defunct Pension Reform Task Force Team, PRTT, has alleged
that bigger names involved in the looting of public funds are in the Presidency
with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Maina, who made the allegation
also maintained that the anti-corruption fight championed by the Buhari-led
government has not achieved result because those around him are lying to him.
Speaking with The Sun, Maina
said, “The unfortunate thing is that some people around him (President) whom he
has trusted are lying to him. I can attest to this and I can give you instances
and documentary evidences. People portray themselves as if they are saints. It
is a lie; they are not. We know it and that is why they are after my life.
“Why is it that the former SGF
and other big personalities accused of stealing monies, including big
personalities in the Villa, nobody is talking about them? Maina who is just a
deputy director whom the Minister of Justice has said the DSS has cleared of
any wrongdoing.
“The National Security Adviser
has cleared me of any wrongdoing. His office has also cleared me. The Senior
Special Assistant to the President on Prosecution has cleared me of any
wrongdoing and that I have no case to answer and then a small unit under the
ministry will come and start fighting me for N2.1 billion.
“So are we trying to fight
corruption in Nigeria or diverting attention by lying to Mr. President? Listen
to me, Mr. President would have achieved more than what he has achieved. But
because they are lying to Mr. President because they hate Maina, he won’t be
able to achieve more.
“You hate me. I know why you hate
me. You hate me because I am somebody who is bold. I know how to fetch the
money. I know how to follow the money. We have talented people in Nigeria.
Let’s start harnessing these talents and stop all these bickering and stuff out
of the system. Nigerians have elected a very decent man as president and has
given you the trust, please stop lying to him. Speak the truth and let’s move
forward. We have so much to recover.”
