Reno Omokri, an ex-aide to former
President Goodluck Jonathan, has made some claims against some of the
ministerial nominees undergoing screening at the Senate.
According to Omokri, President
Muhammadu Buhari’s nominee and former Governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva
was under investigation for N19 billion fraud.
He also recalled that it was
actually Festus Keyamo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, also one of the
ministerial nominees, who investigated Sylva.
In a tweet, Omokri wondered how
both men will now fight corruption together in Buhari’s second term.
The former presidential aide
tweeted, “Do you know that one of General @MBuhari’s ministerial nominees,
Timipre Sylva, was prosecuted by another of General Buhari’s ministerial
nominees, Festus @FKeyamo, when Sylva was facing a ₦19 billion fraud case?
“Both of them will now fight
corruption with Buhari!”
Keyamo and Sylva are among the
ministerial nominees whose names were submitted to the Senate on Tuesday by
President Buhari for screening and approval.
The Senate also commenced
screening of the nominees on Wednesday.
