I didn’t sue Presidency over ‘suspension’ – NHIS Chief

Joseph Jibueze November 1, 2018



National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) Executive Secretary Professor Usman Yusuf on Thursday denied suing President Muhammadu Buhari or Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Boss Mustapha over his “suspension”.

He said he had accepted the directive to proceed on leave of absence from Monday and remains loyal to the President.

According to him, he only went to court to seek interpretation of the NHIS Governing Council’s powers to suspend him two days before he got the letter asking him to proceed on leave of absence.

He vowed to suspend the legal proceedings and not to interfere with the Independent Fact-Finding Panel set up by the Presidency.

Yusuf, through his lawyer Mr Uche Val Obi (SAN), said the news that he took the Presidency to court over his purported suspension by the NHIS Governing Board was fake.

Obi clarified that his client approached the Federal High Court through an originating summons filed on October 29, with NHIS, Minister of Health, and the Attorney-General as defendants.

The SAN said Yusuf sought judicial interpretation and determination of questions on the propriety or otherwise of the Governing Council’s action in suspending him without Presidential approval or following due process of law.

Obi said Yusuf also sought consequential order setting aside his suspension by the Council, including its appointment of a General Manager to act in his place during the period of the purported indefinite suspension.

Obi said the suit was served on the defendants on October 30.

The SAN said Yusuf received the letter from the office of the SGF on October 31 at 4.30 pm from the Minister of Health directing him to proceed on administrative leave on the President’s approval.

“Having received the Presidential directives as conveyed in the SGF’s letter aforesaid, our client hereby confirms that he welcomes the Presidential intervention and remains obligated to fully and strictly comply with the directives.

“He will accordingly be proceeding on administrative leave with effect from Monday, 5th November 2018 so as to give room to the Independent Fact-Finding Panel set up by the Federal Government to carry out its important task of investigating the allegations of infractions leveled against him by the Governing Council of the Scheme.

“Similarly, our client wishes to pledge his continued loyalty to Mr. President and to fully cooperate with the incoming Overseeing Director, Mr. Ben Omogo, with whom him he has already met, and the Independent Fact-Finding Panel set up by the Presidency to deal with the matter.

“In view of this development, to ensure that there is no interference with the work and finding of the Panel and as instructed by our client, we shall be taking prompt steps to suspend the pending legal proceedings aforesaid,” Obi said in a statement yesterday.

Why is my party playing petty politics? They are busy spreading and paying for false news everywhere.

PDP must understand that we cannot win on falsehood because falsehood cannot be sustained .

Politics should be about lies but about the truth of what one can do and has to offer.

That moment u see $$$$

Nice idea.. lol

You're finished already

From all I have read since this case began, I've come to the conclusion that this man is a very smart criminal. Garba Shehu said the man has introduced a lot of reforms since he assumed office that has led to the FG saving more than 2bn yearly and some people seem to have conspired against him for it.
But the truth is most likely that he's using the so-called reforms as a smokescreen while he continues to steal which he thought would be undetected by anyone.

According to him, he only went to court to seek interpretation of the NHIS Governing Council’s powers to suspend him two days before he got the letter asking him to proceed on leave of absence.

The suit can help him win a battle but he might still lose the war. Assuming Yusuf is correct and he gets job back Buhari can still get rid of him. If the investigating panel agrees he needs to go he's toast.

Resources, streghth, protection, and social standing. These things show a man can take of her and future offspring. A decent personality wouldn't hurt either.

Money is just what is generally accepted in exchange for goods and services. Something was in used as a means of exchange Before the introduction of money.
So it's not just women and money, it's women and what you have to offer as a man.

Who cares?

What does this man mean by saying -he didn't sue the FG, so suing the honorable minister of health and the board of nhis are different from the FG bah?
