PMB Must Re- Assure Nigerians That He Is Truly In Charge! - Dr Olufon. by z07ion: 5:16pm On Oct 12, 2017 |
When the First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, granted the BBC Hausa Programme, an interview which seemed at variance and antagonistic to President Muhammadu Buhari's ideological Change Agenda, political pundits frowned at her audacity and defiance which confirmed the speculation that there was a chasm of misunderstanding and a lacuna between the first Nigerian couple! Mrs. Buhari's grouse then was that political charlatans, who did not contribute to the success of APC at the polls, had hijacked the Presidency through a diabolical cabal, while the President's foot soldiers, who gave him victory at the elections in 2015, had been totally sidelined and abandoned high and dry! But the President who was then in Germany, on an official tour, dismissed her concern with a laughable joke and reminded her of her subordinate position as wife and not a politician! We described the British Broadcasting Corporation as an unprofessional body in spite of their several years of experience. The following are excerpts from an article titled, "BBC BLUNDERED ON AISHA BUHARI'S INTERVIEW!" which we published on 20th October.2016: ..........."It is in the public domain that the First Lady of Nigeria, Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, granted an interview to the BBC Hausa Section which the Nigerian Government politely requested the agency not to broadcast because of its controversial content and that the Nigerian President and his party had been on the receiving end of local and international criticisms over BBC 's blunt refusal! "Could it be that the BBC would have preferred the scenarios of past administrations which were characterized by institutional corruption in which all manner of political and official appointments were predicated on political patronage of "who knows who", because the crux of the grouse against the present administration was its uncompromising stand of neither SHARING OFFICIAL POSITIONS NOR THE MONEY! "We can categorically inform all Nigerians that the rumours surrounding the HIJACK BY A CABAL WITHIN THE APC 's GOVERNMENT as also postulated by Senator Saraki and his cohorts is nothing short of the figments of their imagination because the GRAPE HAS TURNED SOUR FOR PILFERERS OF THE COMMON WEALTH who pressured unsuccessfully to scrap the Treasury Single Account (TSA), for their covetous advantage! APC'S POLARIZATION - IS THERE TRULY ANOTHER GOVERNMENT WITHIN THE RULING GOVERNMENT? Prior to the first lady's outburst, we had warned the APC against polarization within the Party's structure, hierarchy and ideology because the motley parties (ACN, ANPP, CPC, and the new PDP), which merged to form the mega ruling party had ceased to exist according to extant laws from the moment the ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC), was registered as a political party in Nigeria on 6th February, 2013! In over two years in office as ruling Party, the APC Government as presently constituted is still divided along those former party ideologies of "differing tribes and tongues", greed, avarice, power/position/money mongering, and therefore not as cohesive and united as should be, to the dismay of the Nigerian masses who believe so much in the personality and pedigree of President Buhari to deliver sure dividends of democracy to Nigerians and also destroy the economic bondage created by the ubiquitous PDP past consecutive administrations! There is no doubt that the President later discovered after the elections that majority of the motley crowd who came on board were mere opportunists who could not be trusted with his strong anti-corruption crusade ideology and had, as a detribalized Nigerian, to surround himself with the few (tribes and tongues), who could be averagely trusted to deliver the mandate of APC's manifesto! CAN WE THEN SAFELY CONCLUDE THAT THESE CHOSEN ONES HAVE NOW CONSTITUTED THEMSELVES INTO THE ALLEGED IRREPRESIBLE CABAL? IF THE PRESIDENT DID NOT HAVE HEALTH CHALLENGES WOULD ANY CABAL HIJACK HIS GOVERNMENT? A sudden twist took over the political clime as soon as President Buhari went on medical vacations on two occasions; first, from 19th January to 10th March, 2017, and second, from 7th May, to 19th August, 2017; which aroused further speculations that the alleged IRREPRESSIBLE CABAL, deliberately hampered the operations of the Acting President 'Yemi Osinbajo, in view of negative social media comments and hate speculations concerning the survival and successful return of elected number one citizen! Although the provisions of Section 145 of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Constitution, 1999, are very unambiguous as expressly stated that the acting President would exercise full presidential powers while in office of the substantive holder, some "FAITHFUL LOYALISTS" OR THE ALLEGED IRREPRESSIBLE CABAL, made frantic efforts to fly the 2017 APPROVED BUDGET TO LONDON FOR BUHARI'S PRESIDENTIAL ASSENT, while recuperating on medical vacation without success! THERE ARE INSINUATIONS THAT AN APC CABAL EXISTED WITHIN THE PRESDENT’S CABINET! Junior Minister of Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, was refused access to meet with the President Buhari to discuss urgent matters of massive fraud in the Oil and Gas Industry through NNPC, the major foreign exchange earner agency, which he alleged to have been subtly manipulated by its Group Managing Director to sabotage the Nigerian economy through the illicit award of several contracts worth about $25 billion US dollars or N 9trillion naira to an unregistered foreign company! Kachikwu officially committed his allegations into a letter dated 30th August, 2017, was consequent upon his inability to meet with his principal, PMB, who doubles as Minister of Petroleum Resources; but the letter was leaked to the social, print and electronic media a few days into the month of October, 2017! If all the allegations contained in the minister’s letter were factual, then, NNPC's national acronym as the FOUR TOWERS OF CORRUPTION has played out once again, in spite of the "watchful eyes" of Mr. President over this critical and strategic money-spinning institution! Previously, in March 2013, the then Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, the chief custodian of the Federation Account raised an alarm in the form of a SECRET LETTER, which eventually leaked to the PRESS, in respect of a missing or unremitted tranche of $ 48.9 billion, which the Jonathan PDP Administration admitted was $20 billion US dollars, by the NNPC! It is unfortunate that the whistle blower in the person of Sanusi Lamido Sanisi, now the Emir of Kano, lost his job because ex-President Ebele Jonathan, who sat over the PDP corrupt administration relieved him of his position and a “kangaroo” forensic auditing foreign firm that was contracted by government to investigate the allegations might probably submit its findings/report to the incumbent president when it is eventually done! DETAILS OF ALLEGATIONS BY JUNIOR MINISTER OF PETROLEUM AGAINST GMD NNPC, MAIKANTI BARU! Has history repeated itself in this present administration because the junior Minister of Petroleum Resources, who could not see President Buhari in person has also blown the whistle through a leaked letter containing very serious allegations as follows: Allegations of corruption, disobedience, insubordination, humiliation, disrespect to the Board of NNPC, which is chaired by Dr. Ibe Kachikwu in his capacity as Minister of State for Petroleum; spread of fear factor among staff of the national oil firm, nepotism, violation of due process in the award of crude oil contracts, some over $ 25 billion US dollars, which were never reviewed or discussed with him or the Board of NNPC! Though, GMD Baru was yet to respond to the very weighty allegations, both men met with President Muhammadu Buhari, at the State House, Abuja, on Friday, 6th, October, 2017, to elucidate more on the matter. But in another twist, a spokesperson of the opposition PDP alleged that the controversial $25 billion fraud money was to fund PMB' S Presidential ambition for 2019! However the Presidential Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has denied the allegation and also explained that PMB has not indicated his intention to contest the 2019 Presidential Elections yet! PENDING ALLEGATIONS OF CORRUPTION AGAINST SGF AND DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY! The investigative panel reports on the suspended Secretary to the Government (SGF), and the Director of NIA, Mr. Ayo Oke, in respect of corruption allegations have been submitted to the President for necessary action, about three weeks ago. Nigerians and the Diaspora are waiting eagerly for his decision on the findings which were collated by His Excellency the Vice President, Professor 'Yemi Osinbajo and his panel of investigators! WILL PMB LOSE THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION WHEN HE NOW HAS DIVINE SUPPORT THROUGH A REFORMED AND REVIVED JUDICIARY? Do we need to remind our President of his inaugural cliché: "I AM FOR EVERYBODY AND I AM FOR NOBODY?" That he is a dogged fighter who never gives up on any battle? Do we need to remind him that when he was stopped from reforming Nigeria as a military "commando" in 1985, he staged a come-back in an attempt to become a democratically elected president and succeeded in the FOURTH ATTEMPT in 2015? That he HATES CORRUPTION LIKE A PLAGUE and would never allow anyone to soil his SACRED NAME AND ANTECEDENT? Has he forgotten that he once said: "If we do not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria? TRULY IF HE IS THE BUHARI THAT WE KNOW, HE WILL ACT ON ALL PENDING CASES OF CORRUPTION THAT REQUIRE PRESIDENTIAL ATTENTION AND OTHER PETITIONS FOR REDRESS AGAINST INJUSTICE [DURING HIS TENURE AS MILITARY HEAD OF STATE BETWEEN 1984-1985], THAT HAVE PILLED UP ON HIS TABLE WHERE THE BUCK STOPS - whether they affect his Kitchen Cabinet personnel, those who might claim to have any form of influence over him as CABAL or the poor citizens who have no godfathers in government to plead their course, but require his intervention to attain JUSTICE AND EQUITY! MY BELOVED PRESIDENT, THE TIME TO UPROOT ALL THOSE THAT HAVE OVERSTAYED THEIR WELCOME AMONG YOUR STAFF IS NOW! THERE MUST BE A TOTAL CLENSING AND NO SACRED COWS PLEASE! YOU MUST RESTORE YOUR UNTAINTTED IMAGE BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY GOD WHO APPOINTED YOU AND THE TALAKAWAS OF NIGERIA WHO LOVE YOU TOO MUCH AND NOT ACCEPT FAILURE! YOU PROMISED THE WHOLE WORLD AT THE UNGA 2017, AND ALL NIGERIANS IN YOUR 57TH INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY BROADCAST THAT YOU WILL KILL CORRUPTION, DESTROY TERRORISM AND STABILIZE THE ECONOMY! YOU MUST ACT TODAY!!! “Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord....... Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth....... See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to ROOT OUT, and to PULL DOWN, and to DESTROY, and to THROW DOWN, to BUILD, and to PLANT. [Jeremiah 1: 8-10.] AS YOURS DAYS, SO SHALL YOUR STRENTH BE! AMEN. I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon. 08130669886, 08098194390. 08080243066 g-mail- dvdolufon@gmail.com. |
