Pension: We leave Maina to God – Senate panelists


Posted by: Onyedi Ojiabor and Sanni Onogu Posted date: December 19, 2012 In: Featured, News Update | comment : 3

The Senate Committee probing the management of pension funds on Wednesday adjourned its sitting indefinitely.

Chairman of the committee, Senator Aloysius Etok, who announced the indefinite adjournment of the committee, blamed the measure on the frustration members of the committee have suffered due to the continued absence of the Chairman, Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), Dr. Abdulrasheed Maina.

But while members of the Senate committee were waiting for Maina, the PRTT boss was said to be busy addressing his supporters who stormed the National Assembly gate in their numbers.

Apart from Maina’s supporters who carried various forms of placards, another group also protested the continued stay of Maina as PRTT boss.

It was very difficult for Senators and House of Representatives members to gain access into the National Assembly Complex due to the large number of protesters.

Some of the lawmakers made a decoy to follow the Aso Rock Villa gate to enter the National Assembly.

While some of the protesters shouted the praises of Maina and asked the Senate to leave him alone, others demanded the immediate removal of Maina as chairman of PRTT.

Some of the placards read: Leave Maina alone, Maina is a good man, Maina has saved pensioners, Maina has done what nobody could before him, the Senate committee has been bought over by pension thieves.

Etok, who could not hide his anger over Maina’s alleged disrespect for his committee complained that even the Inspector- General of Police who was mandated to bring him to the National Assembly failed to comply with the order.

He said, “We have been here and believing that we want to give the Acting Director of Customs, Immigration and Prison Pension Office (CIPPO), Abdulrasheed Maina fair hearing.

“Because we have been sitting and adjourning for the sake of making sure he is here so that we can give him fair hearing because in the other pension public hearing he said he did not have fair hearing.

“Today we have been here and we have kept these people waiting for one hour and incidentally the Inspector General of Police is not here.

“The Senate under the leadership of the Senate President issued a warrant of arrest and directed the IGP to present and compel Maina’s appearance before this committee by 12 O’clock today.

“We have been waiting here for more than one hour and we have not seen him.

“Today we are not going to waste your time and since we have promised we want to make sure we give him fair hearing.

“After due consultation with members of this committee, we have decided to adjourn this sitting indefinitely.”

The Co- Chairman of the committee, Senator Kabiru Gaya, also expressed frustration.

Gaya said, “I have information from the police that Maina is at the gate addressing his supporters instead of coming here.

“We wanted him to be here. So the committee will decide what to do.

“One thing is that we have been honest and sincere. We want to put it on record. God knows we have tried. We leave him to God.”

We have been living in interesting time.

The nation is in serious trouble. Now, they leave in for God?

The nation is in serious trouble. Now, they leave in for God to do their jobs for them?

This is one of the main reasons democracy is difficult. Can politician Buhari survive in a democracy?

Yeah right. the perfect reason why Nigeria is still backward. God forbid.

Where is President Jonathan on this pension fund matter? The executive should be taking action as it is their parastatal.

if the maina guy has refused to show up, why can't they ask that useless IGP to arrest him?

my advice for all of them and their president of corruption is that they should go and renovate prison as soon as possible






that will be smart enough for them.....

we heard maina used the money to fund gej's election.

Criminals are the ones complaining, when I did not get the full gist I was blaming Maina, senator Etuk you were given a TRACTOR, A HOUSE, MECCEDES BENZ, by the PENSION THIEFS deny it, Maina said he has the evedence we know all of you criminals in government

Caseless:
if the maina guy has refused to show up, why can't they ask that useless IGP to arrest him?

Maina said he showed up severaly but Etuk refused to attend to them, he said he has the awknowledgedment on the matter from Etuks office each time he came like five times. Etuk compromised

etuk must answer some questions.

I don't believe this. There's more to this Maina saga than we're seeing.

Maybe the lawbreakers were involved.

Otherwise, how could federal lawmakers make such a despicable comment?

You don't leave thieves for God. ...

this Maina case is really complex, how come some sections of the country chose to cry themselves hoarse over bullet proof cars bought for the government ministry with government money but remained mute over an out right case of embzzlement of public funds.
could it be that the bullet proof cars bought to protect the life of government staff with government money is more important than this issue of people's life time pension being stolen by someone

I wonder why people can't read between the lines. Maina is just a front!

That's how rotten and decayed a nation called Nigeria is at the moment.

A shame if you ask me.

God don suffer for our politicians hand.

Choi!!

God don suffer for our politicians hand.

Choi!!

See ehhh. ..

We don really suffer. I swear.
