Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State on Tuesday claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari spends about $1 million of the country’s resources each time he embarks on foreign trips, regretting that previous foreign travels by the President is already bleeding the economy.

While advising the President to stay at home and govern rather than junketing from one country to the other, Fayose observed that most of the trips embarked on by the President were unnecessary, stressing that ministers or the Vice President could have represented the President at majority of the functions abroad.

According to a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the Governor stated, “the President should rather listen more to those of us who criticise him instead of those hailing every of his wrong steps either because of what they intend to gain or for fear of persecution.”

The statement read; “Conservatively, about $1 million goes into every
of the foreign trips and the way the President is going, foreign trips
alone might gulp 20 percent of the Federal Government budget and that
will be disastrous for the dwindling economy of the country.

“It is even more worrisome that while the economy is already in
shamble and insecurity pervades the land with Boko Haram burning
Nigerians, including children alive in the North East, our President
is busy globetrotting.

“From available records, in June 2015 alone, the President travelled
to Niger Republic, Chad, Germany and South Africa. Also in 2015, the
President travelled to United States of America in July, Benin
Republic in August, Ghana and France in September, India in October,
Iran, France and United States of America in November and in December,
he travelled to South Africa, Benin Republic.

“This year alone, President Buhari has travelled to the United Arab
Emirate, Kenya, Ethiopia and he is leaving for France and United
Kingdom today to spend four days abroad.

“In most of these trips, about $500,000 is spent on estacode,
transportation, accommodation, honorarium, media coverage, contingency
and other expenses on accompanying Presidency officials. The
Presidential Air Fleet, which includes fuelling of the planes and
allowances for crew members as well as the President’s estacode per
night and those of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and his aides is
said to be in the range of $500,000.

“Out of his eight months as President of Nigeria, two months have been
spent outside the country, and one wonders how a country like Nigeria
can progress with its president spending the better part of his time
abroad.

“Mr President is therefore advised to focus more on governing Nigeria
from home because foreign countries won’t solve our problems for us.
He should fulfil his promise of leading the fight against Boko Haram
from the front. Most importantly, the President should pay more
attention to the ailing economy of the country while he carries on
with genuine fight against corruption.”

An American Constitutional Lawyer and author Bruce Fein, has written an open letter to President Buhari which was published in Huffington post website yesterday. Very interesting letter. Read below

President Muhammadu Buhari
Aso Rock, Abuja Nigeria
Dear President Buhari:
When you visited the United States Institute of Peace last July, you pledged that you would be "fair, just and scrupulously follow due process and the rule of law, as enshrined in [the Nigerian] constitution" in prosecuting corruption.

Such loftiness is laudable. As the Bible instructs in Amos 5:24: "[L]et justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."
But to be just, the law must be evenhanded. It cannot, in the manner of Russian President Vladimir Putin, be something that is given to punish your enemies and withheld to favor your friends. If so, the law becomes an instrument of injustice bearing earmarks of the wicked rather than the good.
In the United States, you declared a policy of "zero tolerance" against corruption. You solicited weapons and other assistance from the United States government based on that avowal. But were you sincere?
During your election campaign, you promised widespread amnesty, not zero tolerance. You elaborated: "Whoever that is indicted of corruption between 1999 to the time of swearing-in would be pardoned. I am going to draw a line, anybody who involved himself in corruption after I assume office, will face the music."
After you were inaugurated, however, you disowned your statement and declared you would prosecute past ministers or other officials for corruption or fraud. And then again you immediately hedged. You were reminded of your dubious past by former Major General and President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, who succeeded your military dictatorship. He released this statement:
"On General Buhari, it is not in IBB's tradition to take up issues with his colleague former President. But for the purpose of record, we are conversant with General Buhari's so-called holier-than-thou attitude. He is a one-time Minister of Petroleum and we have good records of his tenure as minister. Secondly, he presided over the Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF, which records we also have.
We challenge him to come out with clean hands in those two portfolios he headed. Or we will help him to expose his records of performance during those periods. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. General Buhari should be properly guided."
You then swiftly backed off your zero tolerance policy because you would have been its first casualty.
You opportunistically announced that zero tolerance would be narrowed to the predecessor administration of Goodluck Jonathan because to probe further would be "a waste of time." That conclusion seems preposterous. In 2012, the World Bank's ex-vice president for Africa, Oby Ezekwesili, estimated that a stupendous $400 billion in Nigerian oil revenues had been stolen or misspent since independence in 1960. The lion's share of that corruption spans far beyond the Jonathan administration.
Your zero tolerance policy seems to come with a squint to avoid seeing culpability in your political friends. A few examples are but the tip of the iceberg.
A Rivers State judicial commission of inquiry found that N53 billion disappeared from the Rivers State Reserve Fund under former governor Rotimi Amaechi. Former Lagos governor and head of your campaign finance team Babatunde Fashola was accused ofsquandering N78 million of government money to upgrade his personal website. The EFCC has ignored these corruption allegations, and you have given both promotions: the Ministry of Transport to Mr. Amaechi, and the Ministry of Power, Works, and Housing to Mr. Fashola.
In contrast, you have played judge, jury, and prosecutor in the newspapers to convict former PDP Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke of corruption.
Is this evenhanded justice?
United States Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson taught: "[T]here is no more effective practical guaranty against arbitrary and unreasonable government than to require that the principles of law which officials would impose upon a minority must be imposed generally. Conversely, nothing opens the door to arbitrary action so effectively as to allow those officials to pick and choose only a few to whom they will apply legislation and thus to escape the political retribution that might be visited upon them if larger numbers were affected."
To investigate or prosecute based on political affiliation or opinion also violates Articles 2 and 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is unworthy of a great nation like Nigeria.
Make the hallmark of your administration justice, not retribution, and you may live for the ages.
I am a United States citizen and lawyer. I have no political standing in Nigeria. Some might argue that my speaking about the administration of justice in Nigeria bespeaks impertinece. But you chose to vist the United States to solicit weapons and other assistance from my government--a government of the people, by the people, for the people. The United States government represents me. What the United States government does reflects on me. I thus have an interest in addressing the actions of foreign governments that receive United States government aid.
Sunshine is said to be the best of disinfectants.
Sincerely,
Bruce Fein
