Explain Role In Alleged N33bn NEMA Fraud, PDP Tells Osinbajo by iwaeda: 9:22am On May 05, 2020
The Peoples Democratic Party has asked Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, to come clean on the N5.8bn National Emergency Management Agency scandal for which he allegedly has questions to answer.

The PDP also demanded that the Presidency under the leadership of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), should immediately prosecute the sacked Director General of NEMA, Mustapha Maihaja, who was also indicted by the legislature over the alleged embezzlement of N33bn in the agency.



This was contained in a statement signed by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodinyan, in Abuja, on Monday.

The PDP said, “Our party believes that the failure to prosecute the indicted former NEMA Director General is a ploy to shield very top officials in the All Progressives Congress-led administration, who are alleged to be involved in the series of scam in NEMA, while the masses, for whom the fund was meant to serve, continue to suffer neglect and untold hardships.

“The PDP insists that the sacking of Maihaja should not be used as an excuse to foreclose an investigation into the huge fraud in NEMA under Vice President Osinbajo as Chairman of Governing Board.

“The party describes the sleaze in NEMA as an indelible smear on the Buhari Presidency and charges the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to immediately take in Maihaja for questioning and if found wanting, prosecuted.

“The party notes that the Vice President had failed to provide cogent response to the report of the House of Representatives on the N33 billion NEMA fraud in addition to allegations that the N5.8 billion was withdrawn from the national coffers, while he was acting President, without legislative consent and expended without recourse to extant due process, procurement and contract rules.”

The party recalled that investigations by the House exposed the false claims that the fund was spent on the procurement of grains under the emergency intervention on food security in the North East as well as purchase of 5,000 metric tons of rice donated to the World Food Programme for distribution to victims of insurgency in the region.



Ologbondiyan said the failure of the Buhari Presidency to prosecute Maihaja, despite his indictment by the House, had raised serious issues of alleged complicity in high places, for which Nigerians expect Prof. Osinbajo, as Chairman of Governing Board of the agency, to come clean.



When contacted, the Chairman of the Buhari Media Organisation, Niyi Akinsuyi said, “The PDP is simply being hunted by the ghost of its corrupt past. They have a way of trying to make an issue out of matters that have been settled in public space.

“This allegation they are trying to level against the Vice President went up to the National Assembly, the VP even offered to set aside his immunity in order to be investigated, the request was turned down.

“A thorough investigation was carried out and he was given a clean bill of health. The removal of the NEMA DG is the prerogative of Mr President, he hired the DG and decided to replace him to enhance service delivery.”

I think PDP should do more on its investigative journalism and give us a credible opposition.

at what point did the VP's personal interest overrides that of the National on this?

at what point is the fund in question traced to his private or corporate account?

at what point is the Acting President part of the procurement process in contrast to the Procurement Act?

What strange or biological relationship has the Acting President with the sacked Accounting Officer?

At what point is the Acting President vested the duty of NEMA contracts due Diligence?

Lazy journalism brings poor opposition. Learn the use and dump of Sahara Reporters by ACN and APC. Learn the process of opposition spokesmanship from Lai Muhammed and give us the best.
Ask google or Lalasticlala
