Hembe, Sacked Lawmaker, Appointed Board Chairman By Buhari by temitemi1(m): 3:59pm On Dec 30, 2017 |
President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Herman Hembe, a sacked lawmaker, as the board chairman of the Michael Imoudo National Institute for Labour Studies (MINLS). The Benue lawmaker was one of the 209 chairmen appointed to fill board positions. Hembe was on June 23 sacked by the Supreme Court of Nigeria as led by Walter Onnoghen, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN). He was removed on the basis that he did not win the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to represent Vandeikya/Konshisha federal constituency at the national assembly. The five-man panel of judges led by Onnoghen had declared Dorathy Mato as the winner of the primary election of the APC. Hembe was ordered to return all salaries and benefits collected while in office within 90 days and pay N700,000 to Mato, while APC was also mandated to pay Mato and the court N300,000 each. In an affidavit seen by TheCable, Hembe pleaded with the apex court to set aside the order to repay all the salaries he received in office, on the grounds that he had spent all the monies and did not save. “I have tried very hard to raise a loan to enable me comply with the above order of the honourable court, but have not yet succeeded,” read the affidavit. HEMBE’S CONTROVERSIAL TRACK RECORD Hembe became one of the youngest federal lawmakers in Nigeria in 2007, when he was elected — at 31 — to represent his constituency at the green chamber. At the time, he was with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). By 2011, he was re-elected and later selected as the chairman of house committee on capital market and other financial institutions. As the chairman, he led a probe of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), and in the course of the probe, Arunma Oteh, director-general of the commission, accused Hembe of soliciting a bribe of N40 million from SEC. He denied the allegation, saying it was Oteh who offered him N30 million bribe. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) charged him to court but could not secure a conviction. By February 2016, now an APC lawmaker, Hembe was appointed to head a committee of the house to probe the $18 billion centenary city project. Anyim Pius Anyim, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) in charge of the project under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, also accused Hembe of asking for a bribe. Again, Hembe denied the allegations. In 2017, after 10 years as a federal lawmaker, Hembe was sacked by the supreme court, as a result of irregularities in the election that got him to claim the seat as the APC candidate. ‘PRODUCT OF IMPUNITY’ Hembe approached the supreme court for redress, asking the apex court to reverse itself on the payment of two-year salary. The CJN said: “If somebody has been in the House where he is not supposed to be and has reaped the benefits which it should not be, you mean we should close our eyes to this product of impunity? “No, we cannot go back to that because the imposter has no right to it. Whatever he collected should be refunded. This court is sending a message to everybody so that right from the primaries, the right thing should be done.” Hembe will, with immediate effect lead the MINILS board, under the ministry of labour and employment. Michael Imoudu National Institute for Labour Studies (MINILS) was established vide Act Cap 261 of the Law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1990 as the only tripartite institution in the West African sub-region responsible for providing workers’ education. https://www.thecable.ng/buhari-picks-hembe-sacked-lawmaker-as-board-chair-institute-for-labour-studies 1 Like

Buhari's mentality is still backforward to 1983. He does not erason like a homo sapien. See many governors as they just just sit down doing nothing but stealing. God no be man sha. one by one we go day count them. to even see how their children useless, with all the money, none fit carry first class. none fit win grammy, none fit befriend Beyonce or Trump pikin. outside here, they are just ordinary as ordinary can be. I trust american police, they are pulled over like rabbits and their big bellies searched like old thieves. dirty old men. 12 Likes |

Seems the president don't wait a sharper mind in his government. I really can't vote for this man ooooo..... by the way I didn't even voted for him. After reading I only understand that Buhari is behind all the evil that were happening in the last administration. appointing those that worked for him into his government, even those that had broken the law of the land. If social media can decide who wins in an election, buhari and co won't near aso rock after 2019. Twenty first century thinking isn't in their brains 8 Likes |
