N5.8bn NEMA Fraud: Osinbajo Asked To Resign by linx123: 4:46pm On Nov 12, 2018
Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Timi Frank, has given Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, seven days to resign over alleged flagrant violation of the Constitution and the Public Procurement Act in the approval of N5.8billion as intervention funds for the North East in 2017.

The House of Representatives in its investigative report had indicted Osinbajo after its investigation into the fund disbursement.

Frank in a statement on Monday, called on the National Assembly to immediately commence impeachment process against the VP based on the House report and in line with its constitutional mandate to act as a check and balance on the Executive.

Frank also said it is obvious that Osinbajo used his brief term as the acting president to open the national coffers.

He noted that it is appalling to hear that Osinbajo – despite his public anti-corruption posturing – could be remotely mentioned in such a scam where funds meant to provide succour for hunger-ravaged Internally Displaced Persons in the North East were allegedly diverted in such brazen manner.

“As a learned gentleman, Osinbajo cannot say he did not know that it is illegal for any government official to spend funds not appropriated by the National Assembly. He should have known that it is intrinsically illegal for anybody to divert funds raised through the issuance of Euro Bond – approved by the National Assembly for specific capital projects – to fund his ‘emergency intervention.’

“What is most telling is that it now appears that the VP used his brief stay as Acting President to open up the nation’s coffers for fleecing in this ......https://janefblog.com/4602-2a-fraud-osinbajo-used-his-brief-term-as-the-acting-president-to-open-the-national-coffers-asked-to-resign/
