It has emerged that the immediate past Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Babatunde Fowler, sought renewal of his appointment a day before its expiration.

Fowler, whose term of office expired on Monday, 9th December, 2019, was replaced by “a renowned tax consultant”, Muhammad M. Nami, reports Igbere TV.

The appointment, however, raised eyebrows with many criticizing the President for appointing yet another “Northerner” in his administration.

Others sought to know why the President could not consider Fowler for reappointment, with few suggesting that the FIRS boss term was probably non-renewable.

But a leaked letter by the former FIRS boss obtained by Igbere TV on Tuesday, showed that Fowler indeed sought reappointment from President Muhammadu Buhari.

The letter which was addressed to Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, said the move was in consistent with Provisions of the FIRS Establishment Act 2007.

But with the appointment of Mr. Nami as replacement, it may be safe to say Fowler, an ally of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was probably snubbed.

On point. Its to break the psychological strength of the S.W and the entire south, to weaken the regions mental strength and power. Its a regional tussle. But strange the south doesn't always act wise to detect the motives of the North


Back me up SarkinYarki

We warned them but they said they understood politics , the removal of Fowler should open that SW eye by now that Buhari will never handover to Tinubu or any one of them . last year I made three predictions that Fowler will be the first Tinubus boy to be removed before 2019 ends and the second before 2020 ends pressure will be put on the VP to resign over concocted Corruption charges and thirdly by mid 2022 Tinubu will be on self exile . I don't call myself a Buharitologist for nothing. , I can read Buhari like a tarrot card

Hausa-Fulani does not regard non-self.Hence no matter how you try, you can never please them.This is why it's pathetic of the likes of Amaechi, Orji Kalu, Falana, Soyinka, Rochas, Tinubu, Ngige etc to think that asslicking will save them.

I knew it from the start that he would not be re-appointed ever since he was queried by the VP Admin (CoS)
Well, let posterity be your judge as you sojourn in other endeavors Mr. Fowler

Spot on bro.An educationally well endowed region falling for such iberiberism? @ "Buharitologist."

It is the prerogative of the president to grant him a 2nd tenure. There is no begging in that letter, he only stated his availability shld he be reconsidered.

Someone was on that seat before him so what is the issue here?

Hehehe. THEY will never see it that way.

Anything to discredit the government is welcome.

I am not a big fan of this current administration just not childish about it.

And face it, as flawed as Buhari's anticorruption fight might seem, 3 ex Governors have been jailed during his tenure.

Slow but welcome progress.

Not new.

Same way Osinbajo and Tinubu is begging as of the moment.


But the master who supritends over the slaves don't always give them listening ear.
