Former Governor of Bauchi State, Ahmadu
Adamu Mu’azu has emerged the choice of
President Goodluck Jonathan to head the
National Pension Commission(PenCom) as
its Chairman while M’fon Akpan has been
selected as Executive Chairman, Federal
Inland Revenue Service(FIRS).
The President forwarded two letters to
the Senate which were read on the floor of
the Senate on Wednesday for the
confirmation of theduo in accordance with
the law.
Former governor Muazu who the president
has now nominated to chair the Pensions
Commission was accused by the EFCC of
embezzling millions of naira belonging to
Bauchi state when he served as governor of
the state between 1999-2007.
During the heat of the EFCC’s
investigations against him, Muazu left the
country for some time. When he returned,
there were reports that the EFCC had
cleared him of wrongdoing. However the
commission released a statement saying
that “we wish to state emphatically that
ex-governor Adamu Muazu is still being
investigated and therefore could not have
been cleared of graft allegations against
him.” Shortly afterwards the case, like
many others, simply died. Now the
president wants Muazu to be chairman of
the Pension Commission which has had its
own share of controversy in recent times
as a result of the defrauding of pensioners
in the country.
The names of Chinelo O. Anohu-Amazu
(South East), Omotowa Reuben Gilbert
(North Central), Mohammed Ka’oje
Abubakar(North West) and Adesojo O.
Olaoba-Efuntayo(South West) were also
forwarded to the Senate for confirmation
as Commissioners of the Pension
Commission.
In a letter titled, “Appointment of the
Chairman and full-time Commissioners for
the National Pension Commission”, the
President stated that following the
expiration of the tenure of the Chairman,
DG and the Commissioners of the
Commission, he decided to nominate those
listed for confirmation in line with the
provisions of Sections 16(3) and 17(1) of
the Pension Reform Act, 2004, which
provides that the President shall appoint
the Chairman, Director-General and other
members of the commission other than the
ex-officio subject to ratification by the
Senate.
On the part of the Internal Revenue
Service, Jonathan stated that he was
complying with Section 11a of the Federal
Inland Revenue(Establishment) Act, 2007,
which provides that “the executive
Chairman shall be appointed by the
President subject to confirmation by the
Senate”, by forwarding M’fon Akpan’s
name to the upper legislative chamber for
the post.

why has President Goodluck Jonathan passionately dedicated himself to punish the Pensioners through the appointments of people of controversial personalty! Abdulrasheed Maina is still fresh in our memory and nothing has been done on it.

umaru dikko who diverted ship loads of rice in the 80s was recently appointed to head a disciplinary committee in the PDP

Pensioners are done for.

His cluelessness has made him to follow the wrong way again

You can take a militant out of the creeks, but you can take the creeks out of him. Jonathan probably thinks he's running a crime family or militant organisation.

You can't take a person who has criminality as an inherent trait & place him in a position where due process & intellect is required, it can't work. The person will have to revert to dealing with things the way he knows best, & thats the criminal way.

Everybody in nigeria is dirty of one kind of corruption or another.

Do you reside in Nigeria? If yes. From 1999-till date can you identify any governor that does not mismanage state funds? Even our dear Fashola, Amaechi and Akpabio! You people should stop referring to black as grey. Billions was sent to the states for infrastructura and human capital development but what do we have all over the land today? Poverty.
Can u nominate any governor including the one's that are not alleged to steal public funds by EFCC that can chair Pensions Commission and it will be corruption free? Even our dear Fashola whome some people adjudged to be the best will bring in his Father Tinubu to the system as experienced in Lagos currently.
Stop supporting these people stay neutral, judgement day will surely come! One day they will be put to shame, they and their sympathizers. Things can not continue like this forever.

exactly the same speculation on James Onanefe Ibori siphoning Delta state fund until he was convincted by the English court!

Jonathan and corrupt individuals, pig and $hit.

This unholy alliance all in the name of 2015 Elections. Ambition should be pursued in the right way not by rewarding thief-ing politicians with more juicy political appointments.

God bless Goodluck Jonathan.

U see ur self, I have n will never support corruption n looting, but the story is what I am against NOT the thief. The article says "Million of Naira" that's not fact, when Stella did the car deal, facts n figure n signatures were provided 225million to be exact, and God bless Nigerian we pounced on her, but saying he stole "Million of Naira" is what ur religion calls false accusation. I have not supported or accused him I just want an actual matured information not the usual "who first report" BS.

Tolexander: exactly the same speculation on James Onanefe Ibori siphoning Delta state fund until he was convincted by the English court!

Dude do u read an opinion first b4 making argument, Ibori was found guilty cos fact n figures were provided by the English court but he was not found guilty in Nigeria cos informations like dis came up and say Ibori stole "millions of Naira" and u fink dats suffice as an accusation. What if I come up wit d news dat ur had sex with some1's sister.

A) its a speculation cos I know u will have s*ex but not sure with who but she must be some1's sister.

B) I have not proving fact dat u had s*ex just said something dat is 80% possible but not sure.

take dat: God bless Goodluck Jonathan.

For tacitly endorsing corruption or for what
