SenateMajority Whip, Olusola Adeyeye has demanded that allowances of lawmakers should be taxed just as he warned his colleagues that God will judge and deal with them if they fail to live up to the responsibilities placed on them by Nigerians.
The lawmaker, who spoke extensively during consideration of the N6.08 trillion 2016 national budget at yesterday’s plenary, said: “Under your leadership (addressing Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki), whatever is brought must be considered otherwise God will judge all of us beginning from you.
“If we are going to move this country forward, we must go back to what we did in the days of Obafemi Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Nnamdi Azikiwe. Nobody in my village will go to his farm until he can produce his tax receipt. We need ingenuity to bring this to pass.
“We must begin to tax our allowances as lawmakers. Nigeria is the only country that shelters the bulk of the earnings of its workers and call them allowances.
Across the aisle, in the House of Representatives, investigation into the crude oil-for-refined-products exchange (oil swap) arrangement took a dramatic turn when one of the trading companies involved in the deals, AITEO Nigeria Limited refused to appear before the Zakari Mohammed-led ad hoc committee.
Angered by the actions of the company, which said the investigation was a subject of litigation, Mohammed warned that his committee will not allow its assignment to be frustrated by the time-wasting gimmicks of some of the organisations involved in the deals being probed.
Counsel to AITEO and another company, Ontario Nigeria Limited, Chika Onyebuchi Uko said a non-governmental organisation (NGO), Centre for Rule of Law had instituted a legal proceeding against the investigative hearing which makes the continuation of the hearing prejudiced.
She said her clients, AITEO Nigeria Ltd and Ontario Nigeria Limited would not appear before the committee until the case was dispensed with.On the fate of the third trading firm, Taleveras Nigeria Ltd, Mohammed said the company complied with invitations.
He added: “Taleveras has been coming since the commencement of the hearing. They were here today as well but went to the former hearing room but, before we left the new hearing room, their representatives met us.They will be taken on Tuesday.
“We were supposed to have taken them today but unfortunately they didn’t turn up and a summon has gone out to Ontario and Aiteo to appear before the committee

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arraigned Ali Abdullahi, a personal assistant to the chairman of the Code of conduct Tribunal, Danladi Umar, for alleged fraud.

Mr. Abdullahi is facing a two-count charge for allegedly providing false information to the EFCC during the commission’s investigation of a case of false asset declaration by a former official of the Nigerian Customs Service, Rasheed Owolabi.

According to the first count of the charge, Mr. Abdullahi told the EFCC that N1.8 million collected from Mr. Owolabi was meant to assist his (Mr. Abdullahi’s) father’s medication.

But during a cross-examination, Mr. Owolabi said he paid the sum to the tribunal’s chairman, Danladi Umar, through a Zenith Bank account belonging to Mr. Abdullahi, with the account number: ‎ 1002849471.

Mr. Owolabi said he paid the money after Mr. Umar demanded N10 million to influence his case before the tribunal.

The charges read: “That you Ali Gambo Abdullahi, sometimes in August 2013 at Abuja within the judicial division of the court did make a statement to one Abdulmajeed Ibrahim, a detective with the EFCC, while in the course of the exercise of the duty of his office that the sum of N1.8m paid into your Zenith Bank Account Number 1002849471 on December 12, 2012 by one Rasheed Owolabi was a payment made to assist you to settle your father’s hospital bill; which statement you knew to be untrue and thereby committed an office contrary to section 39(2)(a) of the EFCC Act, 2004 and punishable under section (39) (2) (b) of the same act.

“That you Ali Gambo Abdullahi, sometimes in August 2013 at Abuja within the judicial division of the court did make a statement dated 13th August 2013 pertaining to N1.8m paid into your bank account by one Rasheed Taiwo, which is inconsistent with the statement you made on August 12th, 2013 to one Abdulmajeed Ibrahim, a detective with EFCC while in the course of the exercise of the duty of his office and thereby committed an offence‎ contrary to section (39) (2) (b) of the EFCC Act 2004”.

The case was adjourned to March 15.

Ade Adesomoju, Abuja
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission will today arraign the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olisa Metuh, before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja for charges bordering on destruction of evidence.
Metuh, who has been on remand in prison, pending when he would fulfil the bail conditions imposed on him by a Federal High Court in Abuja with respect to the charges of money laundering involving N400m, part of funds meant for procurement of arms which he allegedly collected from the office of the National Security Adviser in November 2014.
‎Metuh allegedly tore his written statement and attempted to chew it while he was being investigated for the money laundering case.
Prison authorities have produced Metuh before Justice Ishaq Bello for the arraignment to take place

Only if PDP had known, they would have renovated our debilitated prisons and even built executive prisons with AC.

Since oil price is dwindling and with all these monies hanging on our corrupt politicians, I think proceeds from the recovered loot can solely fund the 2016 budget.
