Buhari ought to quit acting like granddad of debasement – Fayose



Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has asked President Mohammadu Buhari to quit acting like the granddad of debasement in Nigeria by protecting his men from test, pretty much as he solicited Nigerians to request the discharge from the valid report of the Committee on Audit of Defense Equipment Procurement in the Nigerian Armed Forces.


He depicted case by the government that the test board just investigated acquirement and contracts granted by the military between 2011-2015 on the grounds that archives in regards to obtainment from 2007 to 2010 were not accessible as an unmistakable sign of his backing for debasement.

In an announcement issued on Sunday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said "it is presently evident to the whole world that anybody that is in President Buhari's great books can never be declared as degenerate regardless of the fact that such a man is found plundering the whole cash in Nigeria's treasury."

The representative said it likened to sheer bad faith and nepotism for anybody to acknowledge that misrepresentation could have been executed on obtainment and honor of agreements in a foundation without the association of the chief of acquisition.

"There are numerous petitions identifying with the protection from 2007 that are been disposed of, the inquiry is the reason? There are a few petitions against APC pioneers that are not being investigated, the inquiry is the reason?

"Fghting defilement and focusing on just adversaries of the president is in itself debasement," he said.

He said; "Buhari's' Minister of Interior, Major General Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd) was Chief of Army Staff somewhere around 2008 and 2010 and the present Chief Of Army Staff, Major General Tukur Buratai served as Director of Procurements, Defense Headquarters, from 2012 till May 2015.

"The board of trustees in its terms of reference said it questioned all obtainment from 2007 to 2015. Indeed, even the Press Release issued was titled; 'Third Interim Report of the Presidential Committee on Audit of Defense Equipment Procurement from 2007 to 2015.'

"To begin with section of the council report likewise demonstrated that it utilized 2007-2015 as reference, expressing that the panel 'examined obtainment contracts honored by or for the Nigerian Army somewhere around 2007 and 2015.'

"Questions Nigerians should now start to ask President Buhari and his legislature are; the place is the report of Presidential Committee on Audit of Defense Equipment Procurement identifying with 2007 to 2010? Who doctored the council report and why?

"Lai Mohammed said the Committee would initiate the review of acquisition from 2007 to 2010 'when the important archives are accessible', it is vital that Nigerians are told who the overseers of the records are. Why were archives on acquirement from 2011 and 2015 accessible and those of 2007 to 2010 not accessible?

"Early this year, we were informed that an associate of President Buhari and chieftain of the APC, Brig. General Jafaru Isa (rtd) discounted N100 million of the N170 million he purportedly got from ex-NSA, Sambo Dasuki.

"Jafaru Isa who was an individual from the 19-man Buhari Transition Committee was discharged after he was purportedly helped by the Presidency to discount N100 million to the counter unite commission and from that point forward, nothing has been caught wind of the case. He was not charged to court like others.

"It took the Ministry of Defense and the Code of Conduct Bureau one and only week to clear Buratai yet others from the resistance gathering would grieve in jail while EFCC fish for confirmation against them.

"Like I and other good natured Nigerians have kept up, battling debasement is a smart thought yet the minute records of test boards and being doctored to shield those seen as the President's men, the whole motivation behind the defilement battle has been vanquished.

"The global group should thusly win on President Buhari to quit acting like the granddad of debasement in Nigeria by making the counter defilement war comprehensive rather than this reasonable oppression of his apparent political foes, and the initial step to exhibit that will be the quick arrival of report of the Presidential Committee on Audit of Defense Equipment Procurement covering 2007 to 2015."
