1. Osinbajo Illegally Approved Release of N5.8 Billion
Presenting the committee’s report for consideration during plenary on Thursday, the chairman of the committee, Ali Isa (Gombe). said as the then acting president, Mr Osinbajo illegally approved the release of N5.8 billion in June 2017 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund Account to NEMA.

The committee chairman, Ali Isa, while presenting the report said the authorisation for the release of the fund for emergency food intervention in the North East contravened Section 80(4) of the 1999 Constitution as amended.

The section states that, “No money shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund or any other public fund of the federation, except in the manner prescribed by the National Assembly”.


2. Osinbajo Authorised It And Ensured That Taxes Accruable To FIRS were not deducted nor did He Seek Approval of FEC

The lawmakers also stated that the authorisation did not follow due process as taxes and interest accruable to the government were not deducted or remitted to FIRS and no meeting of the Federal Executive Council approved the contracts.

3. The Monies Were Shared To Individual Banks And Violated The Law on Approval Limit
The committee said the funds were credited directly to the individual banks of the companies and NEMA’s bank account, in violation of the approval limit allowed by law.

4. How Osinbajo And Friends Shared The Money
The committee said out of the N5.8 billion, NEMA got N829 million for logistics and claimed it spent N369.5 million on general logistics; N189 million on branding and packaging; N248.6 million on branding and packaging and N21.9 million on contingency.

5. Committee Report Was Adopted
The House, adopting the recommendations of the report, called for the dismissal and prosecution of the director-general of NEMA, Mustapha Maihaja, for fraud, corruption and embezzlement of N33 billion Emergency Intervention Fund, as well as all the government officials involved in the approval, processing, release and diversion of the fund.

It also said the Central Bank of Nigeria, being banker to the federal government, should not have been involved in giving loans to private companies and as such, should be investigated for the N2 billion loan said to have been given to four named companies.

The committee’s investigation of NEMA covered the release of N5.8 billion and N3.1 billion emergency food intervention of food security in the North East in 2017; the 6, 779 metric tonnes of rice donated by the Chinese government to IDPs in the North East and the payment of about N800 million demurrage on the donated rice.


The committee stated that N33 billion was lost by the federal government due to Mr Maihaja’s mismanagement and outright embezzlement of funds.

6. The House Called For Sack Of DG-NEMA
The House unanimously agreed to ask President Muhammadu Buhari to relieve the director-general of NEMA of his duties and hand him over to relevant authorities for prosecution.

7. Fellow Nigerians What Happens To Yemi Osinbajo?

The House Ad-hoc Chairman, Hon. Ali Isa, however, told reporters in Abuja Tuesday that although there was nowhere in the committee’s report where Osinbajo was specifically mentioned, the Vice President cannot be exonerated from the mismanagement of the fund.

“Yes, of course, he (Osinbajo) does have questions to answer. He may have questions to answer because he is the chairman of the governing council of NEMA and he was acting president that gave the approval.

“Though in our report, there was nowhere specifically the committee mentioned either Vice President or Prof. Osinbajo, but what I also know is that he is the chairman of the Governing Council of NEMA. So, if he knows something that I don’t know, his office may be able to respond to some of the issues,” the lawmaker noted.

According to Isa, the committee actually sent a letter to Osinbajo to appear before the committee but he sent someone to represent him.

“The committee wanted to get more information but the governing council was suspended to jeopardise the investigation. When the committee tried to ask questions they started apportioning blames. No procurement, no contract was awarded, no single company has procurement letter; if they let me have the privilege of publishing it,” he stated.

The lawmakers have sustained their allegation that government officials diverted the sum of N5.8bn earmarked for emergency intervention and food security in the North-East” in 2017, and another N17bn released from the Ecological Fund to NEMA.

There is also the allegation that through a memo that emanated from Osinbajo’s office, he authorised the N5.8bn in June 2017 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the federation without the approval of the National Assembly in contradiction of Section 80 (4) of the 1999 Constitution.

So many people go to sleep every night on empty stomach, while less than 0.1% of the population is busy looting the treasury dry. We the masses will keep saying "It is well", when in the real sense nothing is well. Suffering and smiling is a disease on it own.

You are a pathological liar.

All these nonsense accusations, we know the work of who you are doing..

Let me now sound this into your ear....

We Yorubas know very well that PDP, Dogara and Saraki are after Osinbajo so as to deplete the votes of Buhari in South West..

You know what, I have been on the fence before, but with this, I have to ensure Osinbajo is not destroyed by you and your paid hacks.

Corruption knows no bounds: race, regional block, ethnic divide/supremacist, religious coloration or any other criteria you may wish to rationalize it as Nigeria have had it own fair share of massive corruption from the six corners of it map.

You are clearly a hungry PDP supporter. 12,500 I rejected and which you are currently collecting for your attacks on an innocent man must be the best you ever had.

Even your own post makes you look stupid.

Yes, of course, he (Osinbajo) does have questions to answer. He may have questions to answer because he is the chairman of the governing council of NEMA and he was acting president that gave the approval

He may does not translate to he must.

Besides what the statement implies is that he may be asked to explain.

How is that an indictment?

At the rate you are going, our PDP will never increase your pay. You are doing a poor job at twisting a narrative.

Have you forgotten what we were told in the situation room?

1) When attempting to spin a story, be mindful of language used in the original story.

This was our very first lesson and you already failed at that.

Instead of you to focus on the fasting in AKS and repent of your lies, you are still bent on your 12,500 naira lies
