Buhari is very fond of CORRUPT criminals.
Could it be due to his being a crook also

October 22, 2015

Following demand by several readers for proof that the out gone Executive Secretary, Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), Dr. Ahmed Modibbo Mohammed got N850 million from Education Tax Fund (ETF), now TETFund, we hereby publish the following:

1. Copy of the letter from Modibbo to his colleague in ETF, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu requesting the release of the N850 million for “procurement of additional classroom sitting materials (CKD) for junior secondary schools-release of the 85% take-off grant.”
Dated 7th September, 2007, this was the first official assignment undertaken by Modibbo who assumed office three days earlier.

2.Copy of page 26 of Daily Trust newspaper of Friday, August 22, 2008 (a year later) where Modibbo announced “Invitation for Pre-Qualification of Firms to Tender for the Production and Supply of Plastic Desks and Chairs for Junior Secondary Schools.”

The then UBEC boss announced in the opening paragraph of the third column of the advertorial: “UBEC, a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Education HAS RECEIVED financial support from the Education Tax Fund (ETF) and intends to apply the PROCEEDS for the procurement of high-grade impact resistant copolymer resin desks and chairs for the basic education sub sector at the states and FCT level in Nigeria.”

As a consequence of a court order obtained by the firms that originally won the contract, Intermarkets Nig. Ltd and Intermarkets USA, stopping UBEC from re-awarding the contract to any other firm, no single chair or desk was purchased with the N850 million ETF released in September 2007.

Modibbo and Yakubu have both left office without declaring the whereabouts of the N850 million meant for the plastic chairs and desks. If N850 million was fixed in September 2007, at 14 per cent interest rate, the minimum current value now would be N1.6 billion which neither Modibbo nor Yakubu has provided answers to.

Another Northerner confirmed INEC Chairman?

Northern Agenda further strengthened.

Shame on all blind, ignorant and a strayed Southern Nigerians chanting 'CHANGE'.

Bigger Shame to you all.
When Ephraim Akpata, Abel Guobadia and Maurice Iwu, all southerners became INEC chairmen, succeeding one another in that order; did you see any wrong in it? Why should it be wrong for Jega, a northerner, to be succeeded by another northerner?

I've always known you, always replying withouth reasoning. Obasanjo, a southerner, appointed Abel Guobadia and Maurice Iwu, two southerners, as chairmen of INEC at different times.

Mumu, they're all southerners. The north, where Buhari and the new INEC boss are from, like the south, is divided into three geo-political zones. Go find out which they belong, Katsina and Bauchi. Bauchi, where Yakubu is from has over ten ethnic groups. Stop this attitude of yours of labeling everybody from the north, a Fulani like Buhari.

Mustafa for SS

It is not done according to indigenous extraction but a number of competent senior INEC staff elected to direct affairs in the 4 INEC zones. It has always been like so. Most INEC returning officers do not hail from the states they chair so as to avoid a conflict of interest.

A Mustafa in SS would have no alegiance to the Ijaw or Itsekiri or Delta Igbo or Edo, he would just conduct an election and be over with it, likewise Antonla Taiye Okoosi Simbine for North-central who is not from North central.

why will a northerner become resident INEC commissioner in SS, i smell foul play to rig Dec. Election, in d SS state.

U appoint solomon as SW n appoint mohammed mustafa for SS. We will say NO to this appointment, cos it is CORRUPTION in the high order. We must fight Corruption especially when it come to the democracy of the Nation.

Mohammed Mustafa Lecky for South-south INEC commissioner. So you mean to tell me you could not find one reputable person in all the SS states to do that job, you had to go and bring a northerner. Later when people complain about northern agenda, you will hear wailing wailers
