President Muhammadu Buhari has come under
heavy criticism by foreign press for allegedly
appointing corrupt people in his cabinet.
In its latest article, DailyMail UK , a British online
media platform has called out the Minister of
Transport, Rotimi Amaechi describing him as
'Nigeria's ATM'.
According to the report, Amaechi is accused of
misappropriating £338million by a commission
investigating the sale of state assets.
Amaechi is accused of diverting £140million of
state funds into Buhari’s presidential campaign,
with reports he paid for media, consultants and
private jets.
Here is the full report titled "Is Nigerian leader's
pal 'fantastically corrupt'? Friend of African
president accused of stealing £500million".
"When David Cameron was caught on camera
last week before an anti-corruption summit
describing Nigeria as ‘fantastically corrupt’, the
African state’s president rallied to the Prime
Minister’s defence by agreeing with him.
But although Muhammadu Buhari is seen by
some as leading the battle against corruption,
worrying allegations swirl around one of his
close allies.
Rotimi Amaechi, who travelled with the president
to the summit, is Nigeria’s transport minister
and is said to have bankrolled Buhari’s
presidential campaign.
In the Nigerian press he has been dubbed ‘ATM’
– the American term for cash machine –
because of his ability to produce vast sums of
money at short notice.
He remains in his post despite being accused of
misappropriating £338million by a commission
investigating the sale of state assets.
Some of that money is likely to have come from
UK taxpayers, who gave the country £1billion in
aid over five years to 2014, including £248million
in 2014 alone.
Separately, Amaechi is accused of diverting
£140million of state funds into Buhari’s
presidential campaign, with reports he paid for
media, consultants and private jets.
The allegations come as the president stands
accused of enjoying a lavish lifestyle while many
millions suffer in poverty.
A leaked draft budget for 2016 showed the
Nigerian government earmarked £16million for
the refurbishment and maintenance of the
president’s official residence, Aso Rock Guest
House, in the capital Abuja.
There was also a request for £13million for
building a VIP wing at a hospital used by
families of the president and his ministerial
team.
Mr Amaechi has denied the allegations against
him."

Zombies hate the daily mail because it was one of a handful of media outlets in the West that covered extensively the ISIS carnage and brutality in Syria and Iraq.

An overwhelming percentage of zombies are Muslims by the way.

This is a litmus test of the President's anti-corruption stance.

[size=16pt]Buhari is a shameless hypocrite!
He will not touch AMAECHI because he is the receiver of the funds stolen by AMAECHI, which was used to fund his presidential election.

However, if it were Diezani, Buhari will hold international press conferences immediately, shouting he needs help to arrest a corrupt government officials.[/size]

Fighting and smiling with corruption at the same time. Saint Ameachi
