DomPerignon:
There was no budget .

Pls provide any evidence the fake commission was captured in any budget proposed and passed by NASS.

How will the NASS not find out this was a fake organisation ?

Here is the evidence you are asking for

Richtaiwo:
The forum is open for any topic you want to discuss. You can create such thread and discuss it as much as you want. I'm not here to discuss matters that are interesting to you but the one that is interesting to me. This is not a forum for discussing what only pleases obedients. Besides, I'm not obliged to discuss everything, you can help initiate such.

Richtaiwo, one is saying you're obliged to discuss every topic. The point is that if this level of fraud perpetuated by the Tinubu regime don't interest you but you're eager to make every discussion about Obidients, then your priorities deserve scrutiny.

If allegations of fraud on that scale don't concern you because they involve a government you support, that's not principled; it's partisan. If your political loyalty consistently outweighs your concern for accountability, people are entitled to question whether you're acting as a partisan, a hypocrite, or putting political allegiance ahead of the public interest.

So, instead of deflecting with this your start your own thread thing, why not address the substance of the issue?

DomPerignon:
You liar.

The same Tinubu govt is the one exposing the fraud and have handed him to the police who in turn have taken the scammer to court .

Which money was allocated to the fake agency ?

What happened here is the OAGF that was scammed by Adeyemi to request that the CBN open an account for the fake agency.

Read your comment again and see whether you made any sense.

The issue isn't just that someone allegedly impersonated an agency. The allegation is that a non-existent agency had a budget inserted into the national budget, that budget was presented to and passed by the National Assembly, signed into law, allocated office space in the Federal Secretariat with approval to recruit 300 staff and its purported Director-General held meetings with agencies like the EFCC and the National Assembly leadership.

If all of that happened, then the obvious questions are: how did a non-existent agency make it into the national budget, and who approved it? Saying the government later exposed the fraud doesn't answer those questions, it raises even more of them.

What is shadow budget compared the biggest and largest heist being perpetuated by the Tinubu regime

Leave Obidients out and talk about the biggest heist being perpetrated by the Tinubu administration: billions allocated in the national budget to a non-existent agency, approved by the National Assembly and signed into law.

That's the serious conversation today...not Obidients this or Obidients that.

Kanwulia:
Their NL branch will soon ask you for evidence.😃

They wouldn't dare try that today. With the evidence where a budget for a non-existent agency gets captured, passed by the National Assembly, and signed into law, it’s hard not to view this entire regime as one massive fraud.

This gang of thieves, scammers, fraudsters, and fórgérs are now looting and siphoning entire budgetary allocations by creating a fake agency and inserting it into the national budget.

Nigerians seem to forget that this same group has been looting the collective wealth of Lagosians through an opaque and dubious Alpha Beta deal, connecting a conduit pipe from the Lagos State Treasury to their personal pockets for over two decades and counting.


Nigeria is currently learning what Lagosians have known for 20 years

Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress ADC, Atiku Abubakar, has said the International Monetary Fund, IMF’s disclosure that Nigeria omitted public expenditure equivalent to two per cent of its Gross Domestic Product GDP from recent budgets has exposed what appears to be a deeply entrenched system of institutional corruption under the President Bola Tinubu administration.

In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said the IMF’s disclosure, coming on the heels of the scandal surrounding the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council PFIPC, paints the picture of a government where public institutions are increasingly being converted into instruments for opaque financial dealings.

He maintained that until the question of who stole the missing two per cent of Nigeria’s GDP is honestly answered, every claim of transparency by the administration will ring hollow.


“The Constitution is not a book of suggestions. Section 80 is unequivocal: no money shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund except in the manner prescribed by the National Assembly. Budgetary appropriation is not a ceremonial exercise; it is the legal authority upon which every kobo of public expenditure rests.

“If, as the IMF has revealed, expenditure amounting to two per cent of Nigeria’s GDP was omitted from the budget process, then Nigerians are entitled to one simple question: Who stole the missing two per cent of our GDP? This is no longer an accounting discrepancy. It is a constitutional, legal and moral scandal. Money does not simply disappear from a national budget. Somebody authorised it. Somebody approved it. Somebody spent it. Somebody benefited from it. Nigerians deserve to know who those people are”, he declared.

Atiku said the revelation reinforces growing concerns that the PFIPC affair was not an isolated incident but part of a wider pattern of institutional capture and abuse of public finance.

He said; “The discovery that a fictitious agency found its way into official government processes and budgetary allocations should alarm every patriotic Nigerian. Now, the IMF tells us that expenditure equivalent to two per cent of our GDP was kept outside the budget. These are not disconnected events. Together, they point to a dangerous culture of institutional corruption,” he said.


He noted that while the Federal Ministry of Health reportedly received only ₦36 million in releases for critical health interventions despite a budgetary appropriation of over ₦218 billion, the PFIPC, which the Presidency now claims never existed, was reportedly allocated about ₦1.3 billion.

“Nothing better illustrates the warped priorities of this administration than a government that starves hospitals and healthcare programmes of funds while ghost agencies somehow find billions waiting for them. This is not fiscal management; it is institutionalised corruption.

“The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation does not receive, acknowledge, process official correspondence or allocate office accommodation to any agency without the requisite approvals from the Presidency. Those now attempting to distance themselves from the scandal should stop insulting the intelligence of Nigerians,” he said.

He called on the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, to explain how the agency was recognised. “He must come clean. The country deserves to know who authorised the recognition of the so-called Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council and under whose directive government institutions accorded it official status,” he said.

Atiku also referenced allegations by Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, the principal actor in the scandal, that the dispute escalated after he refused a demand for a 48 per cent kickback from the Office of the Chief of Staff on the agency’s proposed ₦27.3 billion take-off grant.


According to him, rhese are grave allegations that cannot be dismissed with press releases or propaganda. “They demand an immediate, transparent and independent investigation. If the allegations are false, let the government prove them through an open investigation. If they are true, then every official connected with this scandal, regardless of rank or office, must be removed immediately and handed over to the appropriate security agencies for prosecution,” he said.

The Waziri Adamawa insisted the matter transcends politics, saying it borders on whether Nigeria is still governed by law or by the discretion of a privileged few.

He called on the Auditor-General of the Federation, the Public Accounts Committees of both chambers of the National Assembly, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission ICPC to establish the truth.

“No administration should assume that because it controls the instruments of power, it also controls the truth. The books must be opened. Every naira must be traced. Every expenditure must be justified. Every official found culpable must be held accountable,” he said, adding that the Tinubu administration’s promise of Renewed Hope has instead delivered “renewed secrecy, renewed impunity and renewed fiscal abuse.”

Where and when did he make the sacrifice

I like this confidence

This is a leader

Can Tinubu say arrest my son

Can Tinubu say arrest my Thèif of Staff

No, he can't

OverCalculating:
Must you show this mess on every thread in Niraland. I wonder why/how @seun bot hasn't stopped this unnecessary rubbish. Some people have not done half of what you are doing now before they were banned for life

It's no mess. Just because you see it as an attack on the politician you support or the mandate you stand for, doesn't make it a mess. Those are valid questions requiring serious and honest debate. Be reasonable

Calling them a 'nest of fraudsters' is generous. It’s a full-blown syndicate of forgers, idéntity thieves, scammers, and drug báróns

They are all involved.

Gbajabiamila was an alleged thief in Atlanta, Tinubu a notorious drug baron in Chicago. Today, one is the president, the other is his Chief of Staff. Like they say, old habits never die.

Corruption cannot sack corruption

Dolapo Babatunde Tanimola is a fictional character. There's no convincing evidence such a person exists.

The narrative attempts to create the impression that Prince Adeniyi did not deal directly with the thief of Staff by introducing a fictitious middleman by name Tanimola who allegedly died in a hotel fire.

it's all part of what I consider a cock-and-bull story by Bayo Onanuga to exonerate the Thief of Staff who's hands are already neck deep in the cookie jar of corruption

Every bribery, scam, forgery, or fraud that seems to happen at Aso Rock Villa somehow ends up being linked to the thief of Staff. Why? Why?

shortgun:
They will soon come to discredit this statistics.
Bitter hateful beings

Discrediting the truth doesn't change it. It just makes them sound wrong and hateful

What an irony

A lecture on 'misleading the public' from a man whose background, certificate, identity requires a team of forensic investigators to verify is peak comedy

TimiofAbuja:
No one is taking any glory and even if it does nothing wrong with it because he has been taking the blame for his failure too

Tinubu is taking the blame for his own failures, not anyone else's.

The tanked economy, collapsed naira, worsening hunger, insecurity, and high inflation are strictly the result of his catastrophic economic policies masquerading as reforms

Vision101:
The judiciary is not on trial. The judiciary hasn't been bought over by Tinubu. When the decision is otherwise then the language changes. How can we take your cries serious?

Still on still, it doesn’t take away from the fact that these con men, scammers, fraudsters and drug báróns need to be unseated.

Truly the journey to unseat these con men, scammers, fraudsters and drug báróns in power has begun

We are being ruled by con men, scammers, fraudsters and drug báróns

“If the fellow connived with him in the scam as we suspect by evidence, Gbaja should be prosecuted. Either ways: this Thief of Staff must be punished.”

Truly a Thief of Staff

Honestly, we are currently ruled by con men, scammers, fraudsters and drug báróns
