They are all heartless, unempathetic, selfish, insensitive, wicked, callous and very ruthless; those politicians and technocrats in leadership positions, who without iota of self remorse or moral condemnation, still collect monthly double and triple salaries from governments even at this austere period when almost all States of the Federation could hardly pay their workers stipends! What do we make of a civil servant school principal who on retirement moved on to become a politician and got elected as a legislator and much later, a governor of his State and who now collects, on monthly basis, two pensions as a retiree and also governor's salaries and allowances simultaneously! Or of governors turned senators or executive ministers or vice-versa at the Federal level who have become multi millionaires in the unhindered corruption of double/triple payments which is having a free-run in the polity. Outside of this unchecked and officially-backed shameful rip-off of the nation's dwindling coffers, unfaithful and unrighteous civil servants remained unrepentant in defrauding the Federal Government of millions of naira in monthly organized salary fraud! It is on record that government is presently probing no fewer than 23.306 civil servants and some commercial banks who have been accused by an official panel of investigators of collusion in the scam! We are all conversant with the cliché, "ghost workers" but what we might not understand is how such spirit beings operate in working places! Ghost workers are the dubious creation of living workers who register fake identities on the centralized payroll of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), called Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information Systems (IPPIS), in Nigeria for the sole purpose of eliminating such scams of multiple payments, but who still succeeded in hacking the system to have their way undetected for a period of time!
Recently, an unemployed couple were arraigned before a law court for having collected ghost workers monthly salaries of N600.000 each, for six consecutive years from one of the Federal Ministries before being detected by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC); it is as bad as that! In the Nigerian Senate, there are not less than 15 ex-governors who are enjoying triple salaries in addition to mind-bugling gratuities/ severance allowances already paid into their kitties by their State Governments including imperial mansions in their state capitals and at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and fleet of state-of-the-art automobiles that are renewable regularly!
This is the worst kind of an officially-backed colossal racket being perpetrated against the Electorate which had clamoured for change of the corruption attitude of the past 16 years of bad governance by voting the All Progressives Congress (APC) to power at the centre and in 23 States of Nigeria! The Executive also has its own fair share of some four ex-governors enjoying double/triple salaries and possibly President Muhamadu Buhari who is a retired Military General/Head of State who is also entitled to double or triple salaries, now as the incumbent President and Commander- in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria! Former President Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo had a two-term stint from 1999-2007, but it is yet to be verified if he collected double salaries as a retiree Military General/Head of State during his tenure! Since President Buhari and his Change Government promised to block all loop holes of financial wastages in governance and expose, investigate and prosecute all indicted persons involved in financial malpractices and economic crimes, this should serve as a wake-up call for him to take up the gauntlet and bring the BROOM symbol of APC to sweep clean the Augean stable by empowering the Civil Service Panel already in place to also probe the Executive Arm and put all records straight!
Doctors in Osun State went on strike in respect of unpaid salaries and allowances for a period of SEVEN MONTHS only to return to work early April 2016, without receiving one kobo from Rauf Aregbesola's Administration, which claims to be utterly broke but could maintain two serviceable HELICOPTERS which transport Mr. Governor on official trips across the nation on regular basis! It is also on record that Osun State civil servants like their counterparts in other States of the Federation, are owed over nine months salaries in arrears without the hope of payment in spite of the Federal Government's bail out support of 27 States with N662 billion in 2015 whereas all the elite members of the Executive, Legislative, and the Judiciary, had not missed one month's salary plus all requisite allowances/appurtenances to date in spite of the general complaint of low funds from Oil revenue, Agriculture and Solid Minerals!

Resident doctors across board are also planning to embark on nation-wide strike for similar reasons while one of the two factions of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), is also threatening a one-day warning strike against the abnormal hike of electricity tariff across the nation! The Word of God says: "...... And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. (Malachi.3:5b). We are not ignorant that there are legislations against collection of double/triple salaries by employed civil servants, but are they being implemented even though the Provisions of the ICPC Act 2000 extant laws are very much valid?

It is time for positive judgment action against these bare-faced robbers of the nation's lean coffers and these inordinate/heartless political jobbers and the immediate recoveries of all excess double/ triple salaries from all beneficiaries at least from 1999-2016! Who should bell the cat if not President Buhari who should quickly inform the nation of his position whether he is culpable like the legislators and if not, swing into immediate action to recover and plough back the officially-backed loots of several years into the Treasury Single Account (TSA), to service the 2016 Budget of Hope which is going through the last Presidential scrutiny before assent!
In addition, we also urge the President to urgently publish the full list of all recovered and repatriated ABACHA LOOTS from overseas countries with dates and the accounts in which they are deposited in order to dispel the rumours that the monies had been corruptly shared among the politicians! What about the $USD 9.5 arms deal cash which was transported from Nigeria and seized in South Africa during the last administration and yet to recovered since 2014? Patriotic Nigerians are patiently waiting to get the TRUTH directly from our trusted President Muhammadu Buhari without the slightest delay!
