See the load of trash u just typed!

You are part of the problem we are talking about. People who benefitted from the greed of the past regime or corruption apologists with nothing positive to contribute to national development!
There is no defence to corruption. GEJ and PDP were the biggest problem of the country. Thank God for Buhari who has the courage to wipe them off and recover our monies.

Expected junk from a mindless PDP Crucifier! For your information, I would be the last person to support corruption in any ramification but what puts me off is the myopic, thoughtless, selective, vindictive and senseless manner you people lay all corruption blames at the doorstep of PDP. Vilifying and condemning others would not exonerate you from your own sin and this applies to you and APC jingoists here on Nairaland and elsewhere. Nigeria finds herself in this current position because of the contributions of PDP, APC, APGA, you and me. So, stop all these nonsense of attributing the national woes to Jonathan or PDP, after all, Buhari once said Abacha was not corrupt simply because he benefitted from his govt. May God judge you all.

Stop that mad talk! That's how you people run your mouths like untamed patriots calling PDP this, PDP that. Was is only PDP that ruled the country for 16 years at both state and Federal levels? Many of you would never bother to talk about gigantic fraud also penetrated by APC in all the states under their control. Virtually every Nigerian is corrupt including the sycophants that vilify PDP on Nairaland but associating corruption with that party and leaving out APC is not only a sin, it shows how wicked, insincere and mischievous you people are. How come you and your ilks suddenly went mute on Fashola's N78m Website Scandal? What about N300m he spent on Borehole? I can tell you that's just a tip of frauds perpetuated in Lagos. Was Fashola a member of PDP? Accusing and jailing all PDP members in Nigeria, I can tell you for free, will not rid Nigeria of corruption.

Sacked DG In Trouble For Blowing N200b On Poll

EFCC, ICPC to quiz ex-CEOs of agencies

why they had to go

●Donation by a woman DG of N700m to PDP’s presidential campaign in 2015
●Furnishing of an office at N800m
●Construction of a store at N240m instead of N40m
●Failure to account for revenue by a DG who diverted equipment to his private medium
●N15b found in a secret account in violation of TSA
●More than N6b debt in an agency generating at least N9b monthly
●Personal assistant remanded in prison for alleged N17m bribery but DG stayed on
●DG implicated in alleged N68b fraud


Of the 26 Directors-General and Heads of parastatals sacked yesterday, no fewer than 10 may be handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission(ICPC) for investigation, a source said last night.

It was gathered that President Muhammadu Buhari opted to give some of the chief executives the push, following reports of large-scale fraud in their agencies. One allegedly spent N200 billion on last year’s Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) presidential campaign.

Some of the former chief executives also awarded contracts to cronies.

The agencies under the searchlight of either the EFCC or the ICPC include National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), National Broadcasting Commission(NBC), Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), Bureau of Public Enterprises(BPE), National Women Development Centre(NWDC); Industrial Training Fund(ITF); Nigerian Investment Promotion Council; Nigeria Export-Import Bank (NEXIM) and Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSIT), among others.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “At least 10 of those sacked chief executives will be handed over to the EFCC and the ICPC. The report on their misconduct is ready for these anti-graft agencies to act upon.

“All security agencies received the list of those affected about 24 hours before the formal announcement. They will all be placed on surveillance until cleared.

“Some of them have actually appeared before EFCC and ICPC in the last eight months. Their cases are under various stages of investigation.

“The revelations are mind-boggling and it is sad that some of these chief executives continued with the impunity even after a new government had taken over.”

Responding to a question, the source added: “The President bid time to get intelligence report on the atrocities, recklessness and outright graft by some of these former CEOs before sending them packing.”

The source gave an insight into some of the infractions.

He said one of the former chief executives allegedly withdrew N200 billion (using curious sub-heads) to fund the campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He cited the case of how a DG was implicated in a N68 billion fraud and other illegal expenditures and loans allegedly secured without proper approval.

The source also claimed that a former female chief executive was alleged to have donated N700million to the PDP’s presidential campaign in January 2015; furnishing of an office at N800million which donor agencies can supply at no cost and the construction of a store at N240million instead of N40million.

In another instance, one of the heads of the media agencies could not account for all the advertisement cash raked in by his medium during the 2015 campaign.

Instead, about N5million was recorded as revenue from adverts during the 2015 polls.

The DG was said to have acquired a licence for an electronic medium and diverted the sophisticated equipment to the new private outfit after using public funds to procure them.

A DG of a sensitive agency was alleged to have hidden over N15billion in a secret account in violation of the extant regulations of Treasury Single Account(TSA).

One of the affected DGs presided over an agency which was generating about N9billion internally but as at the time he was sacked, he left more than N6billion debts for the agency.

Despite the remand of her Personal Assistant in prison over alleged N17million bribery, a DG waited till Monday for President Muhammadu Buhari to wield the big stick.

Besides, the award of some contracts before the inauguration of President Buhari led to the sack of some of DGs.

APC Govt should stop all this propaganda, if they yet to conclude their investigation, they should continue, why would they not mention the name of the woman or man involve in this wicked act.

I am tired of all this media trial, they are not better than the PDP, must they link all this to 2015 elections, yet there is nothing the APC led Govt is doing, the Naira to the Dollar is falling on a daily basis, we are tired of all this news, all those APC members that called for the sack of the DGs, are they better off, we want the names of these people are they keep the information to themselves.

We Nigerians should be very careful how we go about believe stories like this, if they are sure that and certain about the information they should be able to tell us the Persons involved.

All this propaganda will not help them we already know they have nothing to offer and come 2019 they are going out, even if they come and tell us that GEJ gave $1 billion to 100 girlfriends as valentines gift.

So is this latest Revelation the cause of the nose diving and crashing economy, I will tell you NO, but it is due to lack good policy, bringing the wrong persons on board, lack of vision, not focused, they should as a matter of fact come out now with a good plan to revive this economy, all this news every day will not put food on our table, we already now as far as i am concern it is no longer news, they are all stalled news.

APC govt sit up we dont want to hear all this news, we want jobs, I am hungry as i write this, but has it put food on my table NO.

Fat lie, we were not all dead during the elections. The real money both parties spent on the elections was not really much. All these billions we are hearing about PDP and GEJ were not spent but ended up in individual accounts. That's the difference, even GEJ will be wondering about all the billions he's been hearing on his elections. He actually created many billionaires in that election alone which incidentally he lost.
