Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that the reinstatement and dismissal of a former chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, was not consistent with President Muhammadu Buhari’s avowed war on corruption.

Obasanjo said this at the 2017 Foundation Day Public Lecture titled: “Corruption and the Challenges of the African Child”.


The lecture was organised to mark the 14th anniversary of Dorcas Oke Hope Alive Initiative (DOHAI), in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.

He also warned Buhari that there must not be any “sacred cows” in the fight against corruption.

“Corruption must be punished, and must be seen to be punished.

“Any accomplice in corruption and cover-up and any failure to punish must also earn punishment.


“We cannot afford to have sacred cows in the fight against corruption. The Maina saga should never have been allowed to occur.

“It is not in tandem with the fight against corruption,” Obasanjo said.

On Monday, President Buhari ordered for Maina’s sack and demanded a full report on the circumstances surrounding his reinstatement.

The Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita, has already submitted the report on the matter.

Maina has been on the run over a pension fraud running into N100billion.

He was dismissed from the civil service in 2013 for absconding, but secretly reabsorbed and promoted in September.

okay!

Obasanjo, you and buhari are both mad.

Obasanjo warning the same corrupt dullard he help to install..
Same Obasanjo that gave his daughter iyabo millions of usd$ for non existing power project..
Let's keep fooling ourselves shaa

The truth is that the plan of buhari dying for osibande to take over seems not to be working..

Jubrin knows what to do to Maina but refuses to do it.

No one is deceiving anyone here.
.. The northern cabal at wok

Tinubu and Buhari are scammers

But obj being invited to talk on corruption.... means Nigeria is doomed

With all these pressures mounting on this maina case, in coming weeks, i forsee buhari and co to release the remaining chibok girls where they kept them so as to distract us on this maina issue but GOD pass them.

Obasanjo speaks on corruption ? In a sane world , he should have been locked up years ago.

Obasanjo has joined wailers team. Any form still available for him?

Nigeria's problem appears to be beyond redemption.

It is also not untrue that Nigeria/ and or Aso Rock has been under demonic siege since inception. Apologies to Dr Reuben Abati.

Because see the case of:

Obasanjo, a man almost straight from the prison appointed/elected president. He messed up.

Jonathan, an unknown man from minority who "had no shoes' wrecked the economy.

What about Buahri, the supossed upright man who is above board cannot take simple decision of punishing the nation's economy saboteurs.

Indeed, there is (was) a country!

The Maina matter has totally destroyed Buhari's image.

buhari is deaf. A deaf corrupt man does not hear anything except cow sound moo.

100 billion. Almost 4 states budget for just one person. High level of greediness.

Right from Time I knew buhari will flop because naturally fulani's are dumb set of people ..

When it comes to Buhari, he talks sweet and scared to his pant. Is it today that Buhari has been misbehaving? Maina is not the last to be heard of this decietful govt of every week with new scandal. Why is nobody talking about hon Abdul Miminu that’s been suspended from the house of reps for over a year all because he exposed budget padding? In China they have made over 11,000 prosecution involving the ruling party’s members alone and that’s a drop from last year... A serious govt is not one that shield their supporters and prosecute ordinary citizens

udemzyudex:
Lol.. Oga of corruption is talking.

Rubbish

What has Buhari of integrity done so far? SMH. U no go leave messenger attack message.

Sia buhari is a huge fraud and a national mistake.

Rubbish

I no u can't ur father by calling him rubbish. Air ur opinion with respect and stop displaying hatred

Bubu is only displaying his true colours.

but why was he not arrested the same day he was dismissed by buhari

Seeker17:
Buhari shebi u don hear

He has ear probelms,that is why he went to England.

what I seem not to get was Obasanjo been the guest speaker of the lecture, I was there and I couldn't fathom,why OBASANJO should speak against CORRUPTION, though he made some points,even quoted scripture,but I term every thing HYPOCRISY.

blackbeau1:

Atleast,during his time efcc was known and got politicians scared unlike now

Have you noticed the difference between the president and the presidency ?
The president is BUHARI.
The presidency is the CABAL !

Queendoncom:

Him no get any moral right to talk about fighting corruption, this old junk stinks of corruption. Cos GEJ and Buhari free him that's why you don't know Jack about him? Go and do your research, he is the grand patron of corruption.


Something big is about to happen in Nigeria, yeah something big and I can smell it coming, there will be no hiding place for corrupt people like OBJ.
