TIMI FRANK’S TISSUE OF LIES
RE-Osinbajo in trouble over N90billion FIRS election fund – Timi Frank

The attention of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, has been
drawn to publication in some online and daily newspapers by a certain
Comrade Timi Frank, the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), who claimed that the FIRS
supported the`APC, through the  Vice President Yemi Osinbajo with a
phantom N90 billion.

The FIRS wishes to state as follows:

1.      That  the entire allegation being spread by one Frank  Timi  that
the  Federal
          Inland Revenue Service spent N90billion to fund the last election is
          mendacious, wicked, malicious and a calculated attempt to
smear the image
          of the Service and that of his Excellency, the Vice
President, Prof. Yemi
          Osinbajo. This campaign of calumny and villifying false claims are
          entirely, libellous, unfounded in fact, irresponsible and a
brazen assault
          on the integrity of the Service as a responsible and accountable
organisation and demonstrates an abysmal ignorance of the budgetary
and expenditure process of the FIRS.

2.      That in the last four years since Mr. Tunde Fowler has supervised
operations at the FIRS, the agency had not received  up to N100
billion, per annum,  as Cost of Collection from the Federation
Accounts Allocation Committee, FAAC. FAAC is a public institution,
whose records are open to the public.
3.      That it is from the remittances from FAAC—which had never grossed
up to N100 billion, PER ANNUM, that FIRS pays the salary and
emoluments and trains it’s over 8000 staff, runs over 150 offices and
provides for other needs of the Service.
4.      That given the above, IT IS NOT PLAUSIBLE nor DOES IT MAKE ANY
SENSE that FIRS will commit its resources to a phantom campaign of N90
billion as suggested by Mr. Timi Frank and FIRS does not fund
political associations.
5.      That FIRS is a creation of statute and its activities are governed
by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and financials
regulations and thus, IT IS NOT PLAUSIBLE, that its funds could be
expended in such a cavalier manner as suggested by Mr. Timi Frank.
6.      That FIRS Budget and expenditure approval processes pass through
the Budget Office and the Ministry of Finance, before such are
presented to the National Assembly for Appropriation into Law. The
National Assembly committees, consisting of all parties and
inclinations exercise oversight function on all agencies of the
Federal Government to ensure agencies keep to the letters of the
Appropriation Act. Thus FIRS’ operations are subjected to
Scrutiny and close monitoring by the National Assembly, the Federation
Accounts Allocation Committee and the Ministry of Finance.

7.      It is therefore unthinkable, malicious and irresponsible for the
said Frank to insinuate or infer that N90 billion or any part thereof
could be spent illegally and without budgetary approval.


8.      It is equally alarming to note that this injurious falsehood and
blackmail could find space in our mass media without proper scrutiny
particularly with the availability of the Freedom of Information Act,
which broadly allows Nigerians access to information on expenditure of
public funds by government agencies. This all goes to show an
orchestrated and invidious decision by paid agents to discredit the
Service in order to achieve their diabolical ends, which is at
variance from the interest of Nigerians.

9.      We ask members of the public to ignore the claims of Mr. Timi
Frank, with the ignominy it deserves as the former  Deputy National
Publicity Secretary of the APC is seeking for cheap popularity and
relevance.


10.     It is in the light of the foregoing observations, the FIRS
demands an unequivocal apology from the said Mr. Timi Frank and a
well
publicised public apology in three major and leading newspapers within
the    next 24 hours. The FIRS shall pursue claims for aggravated
damages in libel and injurious falsehood against the said Mr. Frank if
he fails to meet these conditions in the next 24 hours.

11.      This invidious publication is targeted as  derailing the revenue
generation efforts for  the three  tiers of government in the nation.
This is calculated economic sabotage and hereby referred to the Office
of the Attorney General of the Federation  officially.


12.     We finally wish to assure all Nigerians that the FIRS did not spend and
           could not have spent taxpayers money for political ends.
For the avoidance
           of doubt, every kobo paid by taxpayers goes straight to the
Federation
           Account domiciled at the Central Bank of Nigeria and that
the FIRS does not possess the constitutional right to touch the said
account or appropriate any kobo there from to itself.

The FIRS wishes to reassure members of the public that the FIRS is a
PUBLIC TRUST, which the agency operates on behalf of Nigerians.
Taxpayers money-including the operational funds of the Service- are
sacred.  FIRS remains committed to public accountability and
transparency in the sacred mandate of tax collection and public
expenditure.

The police in Edo state have arrested a 59-year-old retiree, Oshiodi Michael, for allegedly defrauding job applicants to the tune of N1.2 million. He was said to have collected the money from 12 people with a promise to give them federal employment at the University of Benin.

The suspect was paraded by the state’s police commissioner, DanMallam Muhammed, alongside other suspected criminals arrested for kidnapping, armed robbery, murder, cultism, among others in the state.

DanMallam said the suspect deceived the applicants that he was going to give them federal appointment at the University of Benin and ask them to pay N100,00 each to facilitate the appointment. He said the suspect collected the money and disappeared before he was arrested by the police.

The suspect in an interview with journalists, said it was one Christy Okeke, now late that asked him to collect the money the from people so that she would give them employment at the University. “I collected N100,000 from 12 people and gave the money to the woman who promised to give them federal job at the university.

She works with the Department of Theatre Art,” “I retired from the University of Benin Teaching Hospital but the woman who was working with UNIBEN asked me to look for people who would pay N100,000 each that the university will employ soon,” he said. He said he collected the money from the people and gave them to the woman, adding that the woman died two months ago and could not give them the appointment.

The suspect told journalists that he was arrested by the police last week when he went to the university for some issues. “When I went to the university, one of the person I collected money from saw me and raised an alarm and I was arrested,”. “I worked at store and supply department at UBTH and I have a good record there.

If not that the woman who I gave the money died, I wouldn’t have been here,” he lamented. The police commissioner, however, assured that the suspect would be charged to court

The Senator representing Kwara South senatorial district, Senator Lola Ashiru, has called for the establishment of a university mainly for history and archeology in Kwara state to preserve Nigerian history and artifacts as well as to promote culture and tourism. Ashiru made the call during a visit to historical monuments and tourist sites in some parts of the senatorial district.

He noted that the monument sites has the capacity to turn people’s heritage to economic prosperity. “You will recall that Esie houses the first National Museum in Nigeria, since 1775 when soap stone images were discovered by a missionary and school inspector, Mr. Ramshaw. Hence, the call for a University of History and Archaeology here more so, with attendant benefits and prospects for people and the country,” he said.

The senator, who visited Ero Omola Water falls in Idofin Igbana and Imole-Bo Ja Rock Shelter in Kajola community, could not visit Owu water falls due to deplorable conditions of roads leading to the tourist site. He, therefore, called on governments to collaborate with private investors to invest in tourism in Kwara South senatorial district for cultural and economic development.

The Nigerian Army Theatre Command of Operation Lafiya Dole (OPLD) has launched “Operation Positive Identification” against the fleeing Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in the North East. The Deputy Director, Army Public Relation, OPLD, Col. Ado Isa, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.

He urged the public to always carry valid means of identification when moving or passing through Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.

Isa said the operation was aimed at searching for and arresting all suspected terrorists that currently roam some parts of the North East. This, according to him, has become necessary following credible information that some of the fleeing criminals are hibernating in some towns and villages of Borno and Yobe States in particular and North East in general.

Army spokesperson disclosed that the troops had been instructed to strictly check valid means of identification of person before allowing them passage. He advised people to always carry National Identification Card, Voters Registration Card, Drivers’ License and International Passports, or other valid official identification. “We therefore, once again enjoin all to fully cooperate with troops and security agencies in carrying out this exercise.

“The Theatre Command also wish to state that anyone not positively identified will attract further scrutiny and comprehensive investigation to determine his or her activities with the insurgents or otherwise. “The general public is requested to bear with this measure as it is in their best interest and our national security, as well as efforts to end the madness called insurgency as perpetrated by the erstwhile Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters,” he added.
