“ALL THE INEC OFFICIALS IN LAGOS ARE ON THE PAYROLL OF SOMEONE” – PROF. SAGAY BUHARI’S ANTI-CORRUPTION ADVISER SUBS TINUBU

A major crack appeared to have hit the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of General Mohamadu Buhari as Professor Itse Sagay (SAN), who is heading the President’s advisory committee on anti-corruption has said the federal government was not sincere with fight against corruption.

He also alluded that top officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are on the payroll of Tinubu, saying; “All the INEC officials in Lagos are on the payroll of someone who will ask you what it takes to win. Someone who is ready to give you more than you ask for.”

Sagay, an ally of APC National Leader, Bola Tinubu said in an interview in the Sunday Tribune that the anti-corruption fight was just in the media.

He also said the APC was more corrupt, pointing out that; “What people don’t know is that the APC is more corrupt, but unlike the PDP, they will do projects that people will see, although they will not be of good standards.  But people will still see something. And if you try to probe into those projects, you will realise that they have defrauded Nigerians they take even more than the PDP, because they have a clever way of doing that. That is the truth.

He said; “We are not sincere with our anti-graft fight. It is just on the media we see it. Before you can say you want to fight corruption, you must put certain things in place, because a hungry man will steal. Let us put necessary infrastructure in place. Let the people be well remunerated, then you can now begin to impose sanctions.”

Speaking further, Sagay said; “Immediately President Buhari got to Aso Rock, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Department of State [Security] Service (DSS), as if they have not existed before, began to arrest and do all sort of things. But, if you look at it holistically, are they saying it is only PDP governors or public office holders that are corrupt? No. One thing is that they are doing whatever they are doing to please the president, who can hire and fire them. Which of the governors, out of the 36 states, is not corrupt? So, why is it that only PDP people are being chased up and down?”

Asked if as the head of the advisory committee on corruption, he was not satisfied with the anti-graft fight of President Buhari, Sagay said; “As much as I am not a politician, one thing I know is that the anti-corruption crusade is selective, but most of the people being pursued by the EFCC are corrupt.

“What we are saying is that all others in the APC that are stealing should also be chased if President Buhari is really serious about this corruption of a thing. It is only then that the fight against corruption can be seen as fair and balanced. When there is no equity and justice, people will begin to doubt your integrity in whatever you are pursuing.

“For instance, if we recall 1983 when Buhari/Idiagbon came to office, immediately they knew there was corruption, they changed Nigerian currency so that all the people that had stolen money and kept it at home had such rendered useless and all corrupt officials were arrested.

“But you also have to remember that Ambrose Ali died in prison; Adelakun, who was deputy governor to Bola Ige, died in prison; Olabisi Onabanjo developed kidney problem in the prison. Most of these people were Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) governors. But in whose house was N50 million cash belonging to the government was found? That person was only given a house arrest, because he is a Northerner. No Northerner was treated the way they treated the Southern governors. That is why as much as I respect President Buhari, I know that his sincerity is not total.

“If you remember the case of the 53 suitcases, Abubakar Atiku was the Customs officer in charge and it was through the back door that they used to bring in the 53 suitcases to Nigeria. But they were intercepted; Atiku was in Customs then. But when he wanted to make trouble about it, he was sacked by Buhari and nothing was done. What is [sance] for the goose is [sance] for the gander.

“The only way people can respect you or your integrity is when the children of the people you don’t know at all and yours commit a crime and you deal with them accordingly; people will respect you.

“Corruption is everywhere. It is endemic, and that is why he should not focus on one side.

“Our anti-graft fight is cosmetic; we are not serious about it. I must be sincere with you. I think the APC will try a little, but what is supposed to be done with N50 billion, they will do it with N100 billion. But you know the thing about Nigerians is that, if you tell them you want to tar the road that leads to their house and they see the road tarred, they don’t want to know how much you have spent. The only thing you will hear is this is an action man; he promised and he has done it.

“What people don’t know is that the APC is more corrupt, but unlike the PDP, they will do projects that people will see, although they will not be of good standards. But people will still see something. And if you try to probe into those projects, you will realise that they have defrauded Nigerians they take even more than the PDP, because they have a clever way of doing that. That is the truth.”

Speaking on the independence of INEC, Sagay said “people still buy INEC and that is the truth. In Lagos State, for instance, no other party can win except the APC. All the INEC officials in Lagos are on the payroll of someone who will ask you what it takes to win. Someone who is ready to give you more than you ask for.”

“That is why you see a civil servant who is an INEC official with so much money. I have many friends among them and the salary of these senior people is not more than N150,000 per month, but they have houses everywhere. Where did they get the money? One of them, after the 2011 elections, bought a home of about N100 million, where did he get the money?”

He also called for a total implementation of recommendations of the 2014 National Conference.

He said; “I must tell you without prejudice that the consensus of the 2014 national confab must be implemented. I am telling you the truth; the whole of Nigerians were well-represented at that confab. Every geopolitical zone was represented and they arrived at vital decisions. Let us implement those decisions so that we can move forward.”

The CONFAB report is sitting there and no one is even reviewing it with a view to implementing its recommendations yet mad persons revile those that seek to chart a different course and bear an identity different from Nigeria.

Itse Sagay will only give this interview to reputable news outlets

Shame on PDP and wailers. They tried to deceive Nigerians with the fake 200 dead soldiers weeks ago, since the, not one widow or family members have asked for the whereabouts of their husband or loved ones

Another PDP sponsored fake news to fight the war against corruption

Only zombies will dispute this!

I love people who are courageous to speak the truth. Nairalanders, behold a worthy mentor. Such a friend of the masses.

I am not familiar with news outlets such as, The Whistle. Ionigeria and the newsgr. These are blogs set up for propaganda purposes

How come none of the major news agencies are reporting it?

Don't mind him jare. I doubt he even clicked the link, he only echoed what others are ignorantly saying that tribune has brought it down.

According to you, the only recognizable one is Tribune and it is right there, working as expected. Have they also carried fake news? That u are not familiar with others doesn't make them fake or non-credit worthy.

The business of journalism is not locked down to the oldies like Vanguard, Punch, Nation and co. Others come into it as they can and it's quite uncharitable for u to decide that they have carried fake news or lies simply because u aren't familiar with them.

When I first read about your arguement that it had been brought down, I had to wait for more people to confirm it was opening even after I had discovered your arguement was false.
At least 2-3 people have confirmed it's opening.
You could have said the the link you clicked wasn't opening rather than claiming tribune brought it down as if you were the one that brough it down.
