News Direct has obtained a leaked memo President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wrote on November 29 2023, directing the Jim Obazee-led committee to conclude their investigation and submit the final report on or before Friday, December 1, 2023.

President Tinubu appointed Obazee as a Special Investigator to probe the activities of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in July 2023.

At the time, Tinubu said the appointment of Obazee, relying on the fundamental objective outlined in Section 15(5) of the Nigerian constitution, was in furtherance of his administration’s anti-corruption fight.

Obazee was also mandated to report directly to the president.

The letter from President Tinubu emphasized the urgency of finalizing the investigation within the given timeframe.


Recall that Daily Nigerian had reported that despite the committee’s disbandment, Obazee has continued its duties in what appears to be an unconstitutional manner, well beyond the specified date for concluding its work.


In the letter titled: ‘Expeditious conclusion of the Special Investigation into the Operations of the Central Bank of Nigeria’, the President stated:’

“Sequel to your appointment in July 2023, as Special Investigator to investigate the Central Bank of Nigeria and Related Entities, I have taken note of your efforts and appreciate your dedication.

“I am confident in the impartiality and thoroughness of your investigation. I thank you for upholding the principles that underpin our nation’s financial system.

“However, there is need to conclude this investigation expeditiously to enable the leadership of the Central Bank carry on its vibrant reforms.

“The findings of this inquiry will not only contribute to the immediate corrective actions needed but will also provide invaluable insights for enhancing the Bank’s operations and corporate governance.

“You are, therefore, required to submit your final report to be on or before Friday, December 1, 2023, for consideration and implementation.

“I trust that the conclusion of this investigation will pave the way for robust and effective Central Bank, aligning with our shared vision for economic stability and growth.”

Tinubu openly set up a committee and dashed them blank cheque to go to any lengths to trace and expose the culprits behind the rot in CBN which is why we are shouting ebi pawa in our lagos.

He later quietly shut down that same committee behind the scenes without letting anybody know the outcome of its findings.

You got to find out 6 months later . . . and your happiness is that it is going to pain only the igbos?

abeg nairalanders, is it that I'm truly having comprehension problems in this my old age or are some Nigerians really with this kind of mentality?

Which next election? Tinubu will spend 8 years and Ribadu your next President for another 8 years so f u c k to that your delusional best candidate.

We will vote for Tinubu again and again. Take it or leave it. Obi will never rule Nigeria in his lifetime.

Listen and listen good Jonathan will be the last Southern president the vulture in the North will frustrated out of power and disallow to spend 8 years, bro never again.

I remember how Atiku ganged up against Obasanjo from
day-one as vice president if not that Obj was a strong man they almost sacked him.

Same Atiku and his Northern vulture in connection with some South frustrated Jonathan and kicked him out.

Now same Atiku plus his Northern vultures plus the motherfucker called Obi plus those bastards bitch called obidients want to repeat Jonathan saga it won't work, if na curse on Southern Nigeria we have rejected it back to sender. Ok

So biko face front no vacancy in Aso Rock till 2031 whoever not please can go and die.

Shey dem curse una for South ba? This time we have rejected the curse. So plssss and plsss keep quiet.

Una no dey think? Almajiri all the time playing smart on us, haba!!!

I don't think igbos need such a commission. I'm sure they would already know its just going to be an avenue to loot and cook propaganda to sway the polity.

Those igbos have been with us for more than 60 years in this our country and they have gotten along just fine without such a commission.

Macphenson:


You.mean northeners collided with southern vulture like Tinubu and frustrated jonathan?

It is a sort of bribe to silent the SE leaders,
Don't you observe, as bitter as Igbo is to APC, APC is still the major Political party in SE.

Fear igbo, Onahaze has sold their future, leaving their youth as nuisance online

You are wrong. Listen good ok.
Go back to the begining of Jonathsn problem "it was all started by Amaechi and Timipere" they started Jonathan must go then Baraje from Kwarra joined, Tinubu joined, Okorocha, Ngige Onu joined so stop accusing Tinubu alone for the error.

Jonathan brothers sold him out. Ok.
