Ex-presidential aide, Reno Omokri has detailed questions that, according to him, expose the Hypocrisy of President Muhammadu Buhari in his fight against corruption.

Omokri believes that the president is not being sincere and honest in the Anti-corruption war. He wrote;

"In 2012, allegations were made by opposition elements and their fifth columnists in the Jonathan administration against that government’s running of the oil sector. The government was accused of not running a transparent oil industry and it was alleged that monies were mismanaged.

In response, the Jonathan administration initiated not one, not two, but three probes including one headed by a member of the opposition in the person of the highly skilled and highly credible Malam Nuhu Ribadu, who had ran as President in 2011 against the then incumbent.

One of the probes was s forensic audit by PriceWaterhouseCooper, perhaps the most thorough independent and internationally renowned audit firm.

Not only were these probes instituted, but their results were made public.

Now fast forward to 2017, President Muhammadu Buhari’s minister of state for petroleum resources wrote a memorandum to the President which got leaked. In it, he accused the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation of awarding $25 Billion worth of contracts without due process.

Till this very moment as you are reading this document, the President has not commented on this allegation neither has he, as the senior minister of petroleum, taken any steps to probe these allegations in a manner that is public and transparent, yet this is the same man who always accuses his immediate predecessor of corruption.

To put this $25 billion in perspective, that money can pay 1 million Nigerians minimum wage of ₦18,000 for 10 years and can educate 1 million Nigerians from nursery school to post graduate level. Please cross check this fact!

On the 15th of February 2013, former President Jonathan ordered the then Head of the Civil Service of the Federation to take immediate disciplinary action against the then Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Force team, Mr. Abdulrasheed Maina.

This is a direct quote from then President Jonathan’s statement to the Head of Service:

“President Jonathan directed the Head of Service to act expeditiously on the disciplinary proceedings against Alhaji Maina and report back to him on actions taken”.

President Jonathan also ordered the then Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, to immediately arrest Abdulrasheed Maina and personally update him on his efforts.

Fast forward to 2017 and the present Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, said President Muhammadu Buhari was aware of the reinstatement of Abdulrasheed Maina because she personally told him before it happened and warned him about the negative implications of the act for the so called anti-corruption war.

In a leaked memo, Mrs. Oyo-Ita said:

“I sought an audience with His Excellency, Mr. President on Wednesday, October 11th, 2017 after the FEC meeting where I briefed His Excellency verbally on the wide-ranging implications of the reinstatement of Mr. A. A. Maina, especially the damaging impact on the anti-corruption stance of this administration.”

Yet, the Buhari administration went ahead to recall, reinstate and double promote one of the alleged biggest thieves in world history, with the full knowledge and active participation of the President I might add.

The Buhari administration tried to shut down INTELS, a private firm, for not complying with the Treasury Single Account, meanwhile this hypocritical government was allowing NNPC, a public corporation, abuse the TSA to the tune of ₦50 billion. If you still believe in President Buhari’s anti-corruption war, you probably still believe his promise of making dollar equal to Naira

So, going from the above, I ask you, who is actually corrupt between President Buhari and former President Jonathan?

And permit me to ask you another question question:

Obasanjo initiated EFCC/ICPC to fight corruption.

Jonathan initiated BVN, IPPIS, GIMFIS, TSA & e-Wallet to fight corruption.

What has Buhari initiated to fight corruption other than blaming past administrations?

The only thing he can truthfully be credited with adding to the anti-corruption fight is the Whistleblower policy, but even that has become a cesspool of corruption and abuse.

How many people have been paid based on this policy? Little or none. The one man who exposed the Ikoyi billions (whose APC owner we do not know till today) was declared mad when he tried to claim his 5% and then forcefully removed to Yaba Psychiatric Hospital.

It took the intervention of the media to force the hand of the government and make it pay, not the 5% it promised, but a mere 2%. The man collected what they gave him and bolted from Nigeria before they could call him a psycho or serial killer!

In terms of anti-corruption credentials, President Buhari is in deficit while the past administrations he accuses are in credit. And Transparency International has taken note of this which is why despite all the razzmatazz and smoke and mirrors of the Buhari government’s media trial, Nigeria has made NO improvements in Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index.

The now obvious truth is that President Buhari is a hypocrite who weaponized his so-called anti-corruption war for the purpose of hounding the opposition so that no one would be able to challenge his re-election bid because he knows that on the strength of his first term performance, Nigerians will not even vote for him to head a local government, how much more to lead their nation a second time.

President Buhari’s anti-corruption war has not been looking for corruption, instead his goons have been looking for scapegoats and opponents that have the capacity to stop the President in his tracks, and if they cannot find evidence against them, they manufacture it, which has led to a suspension of belief in the President’s anti-corruption war on the part of the Nigerian people.

What a sad way to demystify yourself to the Nigerian people. Alas, what a very sad way!".

3years n a govt has no idea of its own except blaming n blaming GEJ.

APC need to recall Gen. Mohammadu Buhari to ascertain credibility of it's presidential candidate come 2019 which obviously mustn't be Buhari. Let us work and vote beyond party, religion and related emotional attachment that might derail sincerity in selecting a patriotic candidate or recycled wealthy politician who may buy votes for his interest on crude oil merchandise only. Nigerians deserve better.

The signs are there for any neutral mind to quickly spot the failings of this govt.
At the stage Nigeria is we can't continue to celebrate a 'better' option in the person of Buhari who clearly isn't good enough for our challenges. If change must be changed to send a message, i am up for it.

Our challenges are well beyond sectional leaders in Nigeria. Jonathan tried to satisfy his people by appointing them into juicy position while winning the north with half-hearted projects but was resisted by those he ignored and those didn't like him.
Buhari is following same trend in the opposite direction.
If we must move forward then we need leaders who won't take sides in sensitive issues capable of further destroying our already fragile unity.

Nigeria people cannot continue to point fingers on past. My appeal is to bury negative emotions caused by selfishness of past leadership for better future. Most of Nigerians will die without experiencing the beauty of modern technology .

The past is critical if we must draw good conclusions that will help us have a better future. If the leaders are given a single 5-year tenure for example then we are less likely to see desperate half-hearted projects like the second Niger bridge and almajiri schools from leaders.

I urge the BMC members to take up this challenge on behalf of their masters.It's not easy to be a zombie.

Watch as stupid zombies will come here to abuse Reno

pmb's army of misguided touts cannot deal with facts...


they are too dense to digest simple logic. they are more attuned to 'derogatory chants', blame games & regurgitation of abstract lies...

On the NNPC $25B contract issue - Yes, Ibe Kachikwu accused the NNPC GMD of getting approval for the contracts without following due process. It may please you to know that the president agreed with the minister of state and the contracts were sent back to follow due process. Only last Wednesday, the minister of state re-presented the exact same contracts in the FEC meeting for approval after it had now gone through all necessary due process.
---
On the Maina issue - I personally think that the Maina saga is a sore point in the administration's anti-corruption war. No questions, that was simply a disaster.
---
On the issue of EFCC, ICPC, BVN, TSA, IPPIS, GIMFIS, etc as tools to fight corruption - Well, government is a continuum. One would expect an administration to follow through with the good policies of the previous administration(s). For instance, IPPIS was introduced in April 2007 by OBJ, but it was GEJ administration that eventually implemented it. TSA and BVN were introduced by GEJ, but it is PMB that enforced it. The problem of Nigeria is not creating new fancy laws, but actually enforcing existing ones, and that is what PMB is doing. In any case, the Whistle Blower policy can be credited to this administration as part of tools to fight corruption.
---
On the exemption of NNPC from TSA, while INTELS is forced to comply - First and foremost, I think it's really petty for Omokri to single out INTELS as if they are the only one forced to comply with TSA, but I can understand his partisan position considering that Atiku is now on his side. But ignoring the partisan jibe, you might wish to recall that in May 2015, the FG exempted 13 government agencies from the TSA account. This was because of the nature of their operations (for instance, the NNPC manages the JV account that includes IOCs as major stakeholders). This was widely reported in the papers and done transparently. INTELS is not a government agency, so one wonders why Omokri thinks they should also benefit from that exclusive status.

Omokri has been known to see everything good in the GEJ administration and everything bad in PMB. Hence, he's not a patriot to me and I don't take him serious.

The only sensible person among the APC e-warriors. I wonder why you are not part of the BMCs, better still, Presidential Media Team. Like someone rightly said, you would have done better than Lai, Onochie and even Adeshina. Believe me, it is this trio that will send Buhari back to Daura.

About Intel, our question is, why was Intel singled out immediately Atiku body language made it obvious he would be running for President?

INTELS was not singled out. Even the CBN sanctioned banks for failing to comply fully with the TSA directive.
---
INTELS have apologised to the FG and have now promised to comply fully with the TSA directive. Also, I understand that the NPA has raised a memo requesting for approval to reinstate INTELS after receiving their apology and commitment. This goes to show that the government position wasn't merely vindictive but rather the rule of law.
---
So, Atiku left the APC shortly after the INTELS/NPA debacle. Was he hoping that - as a ranking member in APC - his company will enjoy exclusive status and be considered above the law? If this is the case, it goes to validate those who claim that he used his position as head of privatisation to benefit himself and his goons.
---
Is he planning to use his office as president to give his companies unfair advantage? Surely, Nigeria does not need a profit-oriented president, but a welfare-oriented one.

Buhari is nothing but a corrupt hypocrite!

BTW, the whistle blower policy was conceived by GEJ'S administration, not Vegetable govt.

I just realised that everything good in Nigeria was done by GEJ and everything bad done by PMB.

GEJ turned Nigeria into a First world country - with modern roads, railways and airports. All graduates and artisans had jobs under his administration. Our foreign reserves was growing and we were growing all the food we eat. He restructured Nigeria, and gave us modern and well equipped schools and hospitals.
---
Unfortunately, PMB reversed all that and is turning us back to a third world country. Clap for yourself!

No, First Bank was sanctioned for failing to comply with BVN. Even now, all banks have not fully complied with the BVN directives.

Our question is, Since May 2015 when the TSA came into effect, why was Intel punished just late this year, when it became obvious Atiku will be running against Buhari? Why wasn't Intel sanctioned, last year, first, second or third quarter of this year.

Atiku has no such intentions. As the largest employer of labour, he has used his conglomerate to better the lives of Nigerians.

Provide evidence that Atiku used his position in NPA and govt to enrich himself. Better still, take him to court.

Yes! Nigerians need a welfare oriented President, that is why we are voting for ATIkU come 2019.

Yes! CBN actually sanctioned banks in August 2015 for non-remittance of NNPC funds in line with the TSA directive. It was after then that NNPC and other agencies requested permission to be exempted for which they received presidential approval in September 2015.

Regardless when INTELS was been sanctioned, you lot would've still criticised. If the sanction came in 2019, you would've asked why not 2018? If it was in 2018, you would've asked why not 2017? Now that is happening in 2017, you are asking why not 2016? Yet, if it was 2016, you would've asked why not 2015?
---
I do not have to take Atiku to court. What I have is my opinion of him.
---
Yes, you are very free to support and vote for any aspirant who you believe has better programmes. Fortunately, I also have similar freedom and rights, and I hope to exercise it to the fulllest come 2019.

Let more folks see this article

they are not called recessionists for nothing..

Copied......

There is an adage that says when you point a finger at someone the other 4 fingers are pointing at you.

This is the case of the APC they want to remove dust from someone's eye while there is a log of wood in their own eye.

The NNPC boss illegally awarded $25 billion dollars and they did nothing but yet blaming the opposition for peanuts of which they are not guilty of.

Buhari is not fit to lead Nigerian

Just a little intelligence is what is needed to see that Buhari is incompetent. But people have become slaves to their religions and tribes that they can't stare the truth in the eyeball.
