Constitutional lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, says the millions of Dollars, Pounds and Naira, found in an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos, among other discoveries were meant to divert attention from the hunger, squalor, fear, disease, non-performance and cluelessness of APC government, adding a “serving Minister” owns the money.

He added that the recent developments are ploy to making sure that Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, remains in charge of the agency.

The human rights activist made the claim in a statement yesterday where he said that “the farcical story that National Intelligence Agency NIA, Nigeria’s external secret Police has claimed ownership of the sum of $43.4m, £27, 800 and N23.2m is total hogwash, bunkum and balderdash.

The discovery has generated controversy and finger-pointing, with former governor of Rivers State now Transport Minister being accused of owning the cash.


Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has also weighed in, insisting that Amaechi come clean on the matter.

Ozekhome, in his statement, said, “Let this government and its minions credit Nigerians with some modicum of sense and capacity to reason, even with their valiant attempts to cow, browbeat and intimidate all opposition elements and critical voices in their so called corruption war.


“The emergent facts do not show NIA’s ownership of the money, but grand cover-up of a serving minister’s ownership of the money.

“It is so, so sad that all these national diversions are simply geared towards highlighting and emphasizing the omnipotence and indispensability of just one man, Ibrahim Magu, as Executive Chairman of the EFCC. We should build strong institutions, not strong individuals.

“Before Ibrahim Magu, there was a Nuhu Ribadu; there was a Mrs Waziri: and there was an Ibrahim Lamorde. After Magu, there would still be another EFCC Executive Chairman.


“All these so-called humongous recoveries of orphaned monies are simply geared towards showcasing ineffable efficiency, effectiveness and matchless proficiency.

“It simply doesn’t work that way. In the USA, wherefrom we borrowed our presidentialism, the equivalent agency works silently behind the scene, only seen, but never heard, except where it becomes absolutely necessary.

“But, here in Nigeria, the EFCC engages in grotesque media trial, hifalutin and shocking disclosures of orphaned monies whose destinations after the media hype are never known.

“Where are all the alleged recoveries of are vast sums, attached properties, etc, made by the EFCC, kept and how much are they?

“When asked this question by the Senate during screening, Magu told a shocked and bewildered Nation he did not know!

“We seem now fixated to name, shame and humiliate Nigerians with the paint brush of shame, odium, obloquy and denigration.

“How can about N15 billion be found in highbrow Osborne Road, Ikoyi, by no means a back squalid street?

“How can a foreign arm of the Nigerian secret Police, the equivalent of CIA, keep such hard currency in cash at an unguarded apartment, tucked away with many other apartments in a block of flats, not in a separate heavily fortified and fiercely guarded stand -alone building that has “keep off” carefully imprinted on it?

“What was it meant for and who approved it and in which budget?

“Who was the whistle blower that could identify that such money was “hidden” in the bedroom in flat 7A, leaving out flat 7B, yet not knowing who kept the money there or its ownership?

“Why was EFCC not pictured or videotaped going into the apartment, before we suddenly saw an arranged “counting” of money?

“Is there no CCTV in such a highbrow wealthy society members abode?

“Can we see the footages please? Only last week, N49m orphaned sum was “arrested” at Kaduna Airport!

“Then, suddenly another sum of orphaned N448m was “discovered” in an ownerless shop in Victoria Island.

“Who owned the plaza? Who sold there? Are there no CCTV there? Can we see them please?

“The truth is that all these simulated ‘arrangee’ discoveries can only temporarily divert attention from the hunger, squalor, fear, disease, not performance and cluelessness of this government.

“But, unfortunately, even lies have their expiry date. Truth is inexorable, immutable and eternal.

“The chicken will finally come home to roosthe

Institutions and careful study of our idiosyncrasies is what is required to rescue this country! You sai baba chanters believe PMB on d seat is what is required to develop us. PMB cannot even point at any developmental stride, yet people like you keep urging him to seek reelection. I hope he does, I hope he wins too, cos I was in Rivers and I experienced first hand how desperate the govt of d day is!!

PMB can declare himself President for life for all I care. Nigeria is worse than he met it, and he doesn't seem to be able to do anything better.

Just pray for me bro, I promise I'll campaign for PMB from USA

Eazybay:
This thread says a lot about Nigerians and "hero worship"

Pres Buhari had a manifesto!! Has he lived up to it? Why are Nigerians wicked to themselves? The only point u have there is the lack of suitable opposition, honestly is that enough for us to go by?

I can see Nigeria and the present admin through your prism!

You already have light, he has built new refineries as promised, he has upgraded our universities and we have more to absorb the ever increasing JAMB candidates. PMB has also acquired weapons and we no longer live in fear of the herdsmen or BH. Kebbi is now producing 1million tonnes of rice and the cost of food has reduced drastically! Baba has recovered trillions in d past 2yrs and also borrowed 15tn so far to clean up d mess left behind by PDP.

In fact when I see ur likes who rubbished EVERY single thing done by the prev admin claiming PMB has not done poorly I go back to pray!!

Just 2 prayer points:

1 Baba should win in 2019 and continue his good work.

2 Before then my U.S visa should be approved.

Go read the acts.
Those information you hear are by-product of the media.

guiddoti:
Have you ever read EFCC act? Don't be clouded by tribal sentiment.

guiddoti:
Do you think making or creating investigative evidence is simple to come by? It takes time and patience to lay hold on these criminals.

LionDeLeo:
Trash.

Tell me the legacies left behind by the IB apart from stealing and more stealing which this administration is trying to get just the crumbs.

Keep deceiving yourselves, any supporter of corruption in this country will not go unpunished by the special Grace of The Living God. Nemesis has a way of catching up with everyone one after the other.

donmalcolm21:
There is a reason i don't engage you here. You talk cheap, act juvenile, sound bigoted and your level of reasoning is always at lowest ebb on a reasoning scale.

You will be ignored subsequently so you can pour your spittle all over my mention

guiddoti:
relax! EFCC are not spirit, they are human like you. You just give them time, you will understand, there are more to the drama.

The Agro-Processors Association of Nigeria has called on the Federal Government to subsidise the price of high yield cassava cuttings to ensure a reduction in the price of garri.

Niger state Chairman of the association, Malam Jamiu Lawal, made the call in Minna on Friday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Lawal said that the measure would reverse the current price of garri from N400 per kilogramme to N150 per kilogramme.

‘‘We want the Federal Government to assist us by subsidising the price of cassava stems to enable farmers reduce the prices of cassava and garri,’’ he said.

He noted that a bundle of cassava cuttings (stems) which was sold for N300 now sells for N500.

The chairman also said that some months ago two tonnes of cassava was sold for N30,000 but now it is selling for N140,000.

He said this increase had impacted on the prices of all the by-products of cassava.

Lawal appealed to government to assist farmers with other inputs such as fertilisers and herbicides in order to ensure increase in cassava production.

He also urged the government to subsidise and facilitate farmers’ access to tractors, processing machine and equipment to attract youths to farming.

The chairman disclosed that the association had started the production of high quality cassava flour, Cassava chips and Camavita (Semovita equivalent). (NAN)

Most people lack the patience that a clean route to success requires...
For the males you gato know someone... OR you know God (Which we know Is a very low percentage)
For the females , you know the rest....

Not branding everybody a slut, its just that in a-desperate-to-get-rich-and-maintain-the highest-standards-possible society such as ours, being a politician's girlfriend (irrespective of whether you are married or not) is considered a small sacrifice....infact its nothing.... Even the husband no go mind if he is an ambitious and desperate person too...

Zedoo:
How you take know?
Do you think that in Nigeria females rise JUST LIKE THAT to start owning things without connection? Either spousal or otherwise??

Don't vouch for what you know nothing about...


Moving on, you are right about the rest of what you said.....
