Maina: Who Is Lying, Minister Or Head Of Service, Buhari Decides

October 24, 2017

Controversy surrounding the reinstatement of Abdulrasheed Maina into the country’s civil service is getting messier by the day as the Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, has denied reports that she approved the reinstatement of the wanted former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms.

In her reply to a query issued her by the presidency over the reinstatement of Maina, Oyo-Ita on Monday dismissed reports that she approved the reinstatement and subsequent posting of Maina to the Ministry of Interior.

Oyo-Ita’s refutal was contained in a statement by her Assistant Director, Media Relations, Mohammed Manga.

The Head of Service maintained that Maina’s restatement and posting did not emanate from her office.

The Minister of Interior, retired Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau who had earlier exonerated himself from complicity in the matter, said Maina was posted to his ministry by the Head of Service.

The Minister, on October 22, had confirmed the resumption of duty by Abdulrasheed Maina, as an Acting Director in his ministry.

The confirmation came in a statement issued by the Press Secretary to the minister, Mr Ehisienmen Osaigbovo.

Maina was appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan as Chairman of the task force in 2010 to check the corruption in the country’s pension system.

In 2012, the Nigeria Police accused him of misappropriating N100 billion pension funds in connivance with others.

The Civil Service Commission reportedly dismissed him for “absconding from duty’’.

Maina was arraigned in absentia by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which declared him wanted in 2015.

Mr Wilson Uwujaren, the spokesman of the anti-graft agency in a statement on Saturday, said Maina remained on the commission’s wanted list.

A presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, on Monday confirmed that the report of the circumstances of Maina’s recall and posting to the Ministry of Interior had been submitted to the President’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday, in a memo to Oyo-Ita, directed the immediate disengagement from service of Maina.

The President equally demanded a full report of the circumstances of Maina’s recall and posting to the Ministry of Interior, saying the report must be submitted to the office of the Chief of Staff to the President, before the end of work today.

Adesina, in a television interview on Monday night, confirmed that Oyo-Ita had submitted the report to the office of the Chief of Staff as demanded by the President.

Maina isn't the first person that was fired for corruption that Buhari has brought back to government. Here are a few I can remember

1. AbdulRahman Danbazzau was fired as chief of army staff for corrupt practices in purchasing of arms and gas been appointed minister of interior by buhari

2. Mohammed Barkindo was removed as NNPC MD by the late yaradua for stealing huge kickbacks from oil and and been appointed as Nigeria's Secretary General to opec by Buhari

3. Acp Zakari Bui, a man accused and dismissed for aiding boko haram kingpin kabiru Sokoto to escape from detention was reinstated and promoted by buhari.

4. Abdul Rasheed Maina, a man that ran away since 2014 and has been declared wanted by efcc for embezzlement of N2bn pension funds have been reinstated as deputy director ministry of interior.

5. Ahmed Gambo Saleh, Registrar of the Supreme Court, He stole N2.2bn belonging to the Supreme court and was caught red handed and fire, today Ahmed Gambo Saleh has now been appointed the secretary of the committee monitoring corruption trials.

6. What about timipre Sylva? Over 46 houses seized by fg has been returned to him. This is a man with no known business o.

I can go on and on listing names.

Buhari recall on Maina is a sign that any Govt no matter how reckless or irresponsible can be called to order by Citizen Power. I have no doubt in my mind though that the man’s brazen recall was orchestrated at the highest levels of governance in our country. I have no confidence also in the fight against Corruption based on many instances of “see no evil; hear no evil” displayed so far by Buhari. If the highest office in the land could have been infiltrated by rats, it’s possible that shady rats in human form also thrive there.

Maina seems to my mind to be another victim of the power-play in this same highest office with Buhari as the umpire who has lost his whistle. The entertainment from what should be a dignified office continues to amuse us as the umpire

Oya pray!!!
Yes 2019 will surely come and nothing will happen, your single vote will not make any difference. Nigerians are the problem of themselves. No government on earth will progress without support of the people. Nothing strange is happening today in Nigeria that has never happened before but my observation truly show that things are really changing gradually as every sane person will expect. Things happening, being revealed and challenged is good for democracy. It's in this country that a wanted criminal was smuggled into the country and was given a presidential pardon and heaven didn't fall. The case of the allegations by Ibe Kachukwu also show the change we are talking about, exposing corruption and it's tendencies are the first approach to checkmating it. When Sanusi the then CBN governor sometimes raised the issue of fraud in the NNPC, he was suspended from office and later removed as the apex bank governor. Look at the issue of budget badding as if were, this are some of the corrupt practices that has been going on secretly in this country without Nigerians knowing. If the government is fighting corruption don't mean they will not be corrupt cases and corrupt people, it happens and it's exposed simple. Let not forget that they are so many people in this government mostly inherited in the ministries who don't want things to go well simply because of the change. If we don't put our hatred, religious, political and tribal differences away from our national issues we will never progress. Before we talk let always try not to forget what has happened in the past so we can measure how we are trending presently.

Hausa's and Fulani's are the MOST CORRUPT tribe in Nigeria, If not in the whole world ( can confirm it in ICPC and EFCC records ), and are working in 80% of the Federal Government Parastatals, NNPC, Ministries etc that's why things will never be good in this country if they are there. They are drawing us backward with their incompetent and myopic reasoning. The only thing they are good at is FRAUD, EMBEZZLEMENT OF FUND, GIVING BIRTH TO CHILDREN THEY CAN'T EVEN GIVE BASIC CARE, MONEY LAUNDERING, NEPOTISM, TRIBALISM AND KILLINGS! Nigeria can NEVER develop without RESTRUCTURING or SPLITTING!
