The Fraudulent MLK Award for Buhari Cost Over a Billion Naira!

The bigger scandal, for me, is that the Buhari government allegedly paid $3 million, that is, over a billion naira, for this fraudulent, worthless "award" (see link below). I suspected this was the case from the get-go. I know of another fraudulent award Bukola Saraki received in Atlanta some years ago from some Black American hustlers in Atlanta at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The "awards" from these shady organizations are NEVER free. Take that to the bank any day.

Snippet from the article: "the award was facilitated by Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Senior Special Assistant to the president on Foreign Relations & Diaspora through a Ghanaian self acclaimed foreign diplomat, Erieka Bennett. A quick fact-check on Erieka Bennet revealed that She runs a Non Governmental Organization called, Diaspora African Forum based in Accra, Ghana... she uses her influence to facilitate foreign awards for unsuspecting African leaders.

LeadersNG investigations revelaed that Dr. Erieka Bennett was contracted by Abike Dabiri-Erewa to help use her NGO to bring Martin Luther King jr’s family to Nigeria to give President Muhammadu Buhari award. Dr. Erieka Bennett, LeadersNG learned, contacted someone in King’s family, a distant relative of Martin Luther King called Dr. Naomi Barbara after King Center declined earlier request by Bennett to influence an award for a certain African leader.

The award which was paid for by the Nigerian government as part of the ongoing PR stunt to launder president Buhari’s image was not on official portals that was opened strictly to promote the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther king’s assassination."

Think for a moment what one billion naira can do to the lives of poor, vulnerable people in Nigeria. And the government claims to be "fighting" corruption.

When an Award or visit that was supposed to promote you is rather bringing up so much arguments and causing this kind of commotion even from the said donor family, then it speaks volume of the perception of your person. What an embarrassment to both the awarder, the awardee and the entire presidency. They could have just reported it as a private personal initiative of the selected few mentioned there without rubbing the MLK Jnr. family in and making it look like an acclaimed MLK affair. The emphasis of the visit as from MLK Jnr's family was not necessary. It would have spared us all this unnecessary global embarrassment.. Now see all the effort put in trying to control the damage. I cry for this Government.

Damage control after the crumple zone has 'crumpled' and the air bags have deployed. angry

What does the SSA (Dabiri) mean by "The members, led by the Matriarch of MLK, Naomi Barbara King"? undecided

Naomi Barbara King was the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jnr's sister in law. She is the widow of the late civil rights leader's younger brother. She is not the late Rev. King's wife, sister or mother. How the SSA conferred the title of 'matriarch' on her is anybody's guess - although it must be acknowledged that Mrs Naomi King was also a civil rights leader in those difficult times.

This is very poor of the federal government. Very poor. What a waste of time and money. angry

On a related note - why is it that when so many of our failing, ailing governments want some PR burnishing, they turn to prominent African Americans? The Abacha regime did something similar with Carol Moseley Braun. undecided Now this.

Rubbish. undecided

angry angry Just found out that the federal government's statement was signed by Abdul Rahman Balogun, the Special Assistant to Dabiri Erewa (who is Buhari's senior special assistant on foreign and diaspora (sic)).

So the SSA has her own SA. undecided

We are not serious. undecided

The lie is in giving the public a wrong impression about who gave the fraudulent award. The center said "The award given to President Buhari of Nigeria was not given by The King Center, at the request of The King Center or by the children of #MLK and #CorettaScottKing. Now check the word "The King Center or by the children of #MLK".
