The Nigerian Immigration Service has directed former Nigerian public office holders to immediately surrender official and diplomatic passports issued to them while they were in office.
The action, officials say, is based on the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The categories of officials affected by the directive are former governors, former ministers, former senators, former members of the House of Representatives, and former members of state Houses of Assembly.
Others are former commissioners, former special advisers/special assistants, former chairmen/deputy chairmen of local government areas, all retired heads of parastatals and retired public servants.
“These categories of persons are hereby informed that these passports which were previously held by them have been revoked and should return them to the Nigeria Immigration Service Headquarters Sauka Abuja with immediate effect,” the Comptroller-General of the Immigration Service, Martin Abeshi, said in a statement Monday.
“Failure to comply with this directive will amount to an offence under the Immigration Act 2015. Such unauthorized possession will be impounded at our control posts on arrival or departure.”
The Federal Government had on August 24 directed the Immigration Service to retrieve all valid diplomatic and official passports from all persons not entitled to hold such documents.
“The attention of the Federal Government has been drawn to the fact that some Nigerians who are not entitled to hold diplomatic and official passports are in possession of these documents,” a statement by Yusuf Isiaka,the Director of Press, Federal Ministry of Interior, said at the time.
According to the statement, the measure was intended to protect and promote Nigeria’s integrity in the comity of nations in addition to ensuring law and order.

At Chatham House in London February, Muhammadu Buhari declared that if elected president of Nigeria, he would prioritise the fight against corruption, as well as insecurity and unemployment.
“In the face of dwindling revenues, a good place to start the repositioning ‎of Nigeria’s economy is to swiftly tackle two ills that have ballooned under the present administration : waste and corruption,” Mr. Buhari said.
“And in doing this, I will, if elected, lead the way with the force of personal example.”
‎As President Buhari marks his first 100 days in office Sunday, not much seems to be happening to prove the anti-corruption war is on course.
Taofik Gani, a leader of the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, said the anti-corruption efforts of the government have been more of “noise-making than action”.
“And it is our take in Lagos PDP that General Buhari may not be serious about fighting corruption in view of two readily available evidence,” said Mr. Gani, Publicity Secretary, PDP, Lagos State.
“First is that General Buhari himself cannot defend himself as incorruptible ‎for the reason of taking over a democratically elected government in 1983. Two, for being able to contest presidential elections at four different times, it would take only a super-rich person to do that.
“He was president, minister of petroleum, coordinator of Petroleum Trust Fund. In this capacity, he amassed wealth, so he should not over rate himself as being incorruptible.”
Mr. Gani said corrupt officials, including “former governors, ministers, and vice president”, are still associating with the president.
“If he was serious about fighting corruption, some people would have fled this country, but they are comfortable, moving along with the president’s entourage,” said Mr. Gani.
“In his first 100 days, the only area General Buhari has made effort to perform is on anti-corruption. And he has failed.”
While the Buhari government has accused the immediate past administration of Goodluck Jonathan of monumental corruption, ministers who served under the government, have defended their performance and have characterised the new government’s corruption effort as more of media campaign.
According to the ministers, Mr. Jonathan did not only fight corruption vigorously, he supported the institutional development of strong systems and mechanisms to curb corruption in the public service and plug revenue leakages.
However, many Nigerians also believe Mr. Buhari’s presence, or “body language”, alone, has changed the game.
Ever-declining electricity megawatts suddenly climbed to new peaks, nearing 5,000 with the government investing no extra kobo.
The ministry of power said last week that since Mr. Buhari took office May 29, no case of pipeline vandalism had been recorded. Attacks on oil and gas facilities occurred almost weekly just before May, weakening the country’s energy output.
“If you have to compare with those who came before him, he’s doing very well,” said Debo Adeniran, Executive Director, Coalition Against Corrupt Leader.
“He really has not done anything on his own, just his body language is putting everybody under pressure.”
Mr. Buhari rode to election victory on the back of his perceived no-nonsense stance against corruption.
His election campaign speeches were incomplete without a mention of how corruption had debilitated the country and its institutions and how a President Buhari would turn things around.
“We plan to put priority on tackling corruption which has become blatant and widespread,” he said at one rally, vowing to rescue the nation from the “stranglehold” of the PDP.
“The rest of the world looks at Nigeria as the home of corruption. Nigeria is a country where stealing is not corruption.”
‎At his last campaign speech before the presidential election, Mr. Buhari emphasized that his government would have zero tolerance for corruption.
“I will set a personal example and run a government that truly serves the people rather than serve themselves and a privileged few,” the then presidential hopeful told a band of journalists in Abuja two days before the election.
“Like I have repeatedly maintained that if Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria,” he warned.
As far as leading by example goes, many Nigerians believed by declaring his assets publicly within his first few weeks in office, Mr. Buhari would have set the tone for his war against corruption.
The president and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo finally did so last week after foot-dragging for over three months.
In August, the president inaugurated a Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption to advise his administration on how to reform Nigeria’s criminal justice system, and steps needed to fight corruption.
Also, in support of the government’s efforts, a US$5 million Anti-Corruption and Criminal Justice Reform Fund was established by the Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, and Open Society Foundation‎ to assist the work of the committee.

Corrupt-free cabinet

Mr. Buhari has yet to appoint ministers 100 days after taking office, and he has angered even his supporters with his choices for key administration positions. Critics see the appointments as regionally skewed.
The president said in July he was reforming the government before naming his cabinet. Officials also say the president is careful not to appoint corrupt people into offices.
While he has been lambasted for not adhering to the constitutionally stipulated regional balance in his appointments, Mr. Buhari has faced less criticism for over the integrity of those he has appointed so far.
“The president’s distaste for corruption is evident in his selection of people that don’t carry excess baggage,” said Onyekachi Ubani, a former chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Ikeja branch.
“We want him to sustain the tempo and not be distracted by some of the forces that are actually fighting back.
“And I want to say this with every sense of seriousness, they should not engage in any press war with any person. And no press trial too,” sad Mr. Ubani.‎

Bail again

OK

A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, bail.
Mr. Dasuki, Nigeria’s immediate past NSA, was charged Tuesday with illegal possession of firearms.
The charges were filed by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Mohammed Diri.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola granted Mr. Dasuki bail on self-recognition.
Mr. Dasuki, appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan, to coordinate Nigeria’s security agencies in the heat of the country’s war against Boko Haram insurgents, has had a rough time since he was removed last month.
Shortly after he was fired, he was placed under house arrest while his home, in the heart of Abuja city, was searched by Nigeria’s secret police, the State Security Service, in a standoff that lasted several hours.

In Tu Face's voice; "Nobody holy pass"

If this Olisa Metuh doesn't know y PDP was rejected, even 1000pages won't b enough for me to put down why dey were rejected n dejected. Lemme summarize it a little: In 16yrs of governance, no good healthcare, no good roads, poor electricity, no good educational system, corruption at its peak, high rate of unemployment just to mention a few... APC came at d right time wen Nigerians needed CHANGE n confused, deceived Nigerians wiv their preaching. Now, not up to 100days in office, Nigerians have started complaining and if APC fails to live up to its promises, trust Nigerians, they will also b rejected n thrown out in 4yrs time

In Tu Face's voice "Nobody holy pass"

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has said only Nigerians are in the position to say why the party was rejected at the poll during the last general elections.

It said the rejection of the party was still a surprise despite the achievements it claimed the party recorded in the last 16 years, during which it was in control of the Federal Government.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, stated this at a press briefing in Abuja on Monday.

He was speaking on the 17th anniversary of the formation of the former ruling party.

Metuh said his party did well by not only promoting the spirit of democracy in the 16 years, but by also fighting corruption and promoting the image of the nation.

But when asked whether with such achievements, he was astonished that majority of Nigerians still rejected the party during the last general elections, he said only Nigerians could provide answer to the question.

He said, “Only the electorate can say why we were rejected. We must have made our mistakes and some of the issues that affected the election had to do with the people.

“We believe that we did our best for the Nigerian people and we got the largest number of people from the diaspora to start business here.

“In those 16 years, we did our best. We created a system where merits were recognised.

“We created a lot of super rich Nigerians like Dangote, Oando and other companies. Nigerian companies now compete with foreign companies in the oil and gas sector.”

He said it would be wrong to say that the party created corruption, adding that because of its believe that corruption should be stamped out of the country, the party, through the Presidents it had produced, fought the menace with vigour.

He said this was the reason why anti-corruption agencies like the Economic and Financial Crime Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission were created.

He said, “Was corruption part of our achievements, no. In fact, anti-corruption was part of our achievements because we formed and created EFCC and the ICPC.

“These agencies were created with strict establishing and operation laws to ensure effectiveness and immunity from executive interferences.”

He added that down the years, SERVICOM desks were opened in ministries and agencies to further ensure ethical standards in government businesses.

Metuh added that as a result of this deliberate policies, human right and business friendly environment were created and it saw to the massive return of Nigerians in the Diaspora and the influx of direct foreign investments into the country.
