PoliticsRe: Special Report: How NASS Forced Buhari To Divert N121 Billion Meant For The Poor by Otsam(m): 12:56pm On Nov 26, 2018
MalcoImX:
At least N121 billion of the N242 billion federal lawmakers approved for the 2019 general elections will be drawn from funds meant to cater for poor Nigerians.

The money is to be drawn from the N500 billion allocated to the Special Intervention Programme (SIP), a fund set aside for the social safety programmes of the Buhari administration. The decision to divert the fund for this use was the brainchild of Nigerian lawmakers who picked on the cash as the best source of funding for the elections, presidency officials say.

On November 7, the Senate approved a N242 billion virement for INEC and other agencies for the conduct of the 2019 general election. Virement means the funds are re-assigned to different subheads other than previously approved in the budget.

While granting President Buhari’s request on the matter, the lawmakers ordered that N121 billion be sourced from the capital allocations of 30 agencies while another N121 billion should be sourced from the SIPs.

Mr Buhari, in his letter to the Senate on July 17, asked the lawmakers to delete self-enrichment projects they smuggled into the 2018 budget to free funds for more important projects. The president also requested that part of the funds that would be recovered after the removal of the corrupt insertions be used in financing the elections. Mr Buhari had accused lawmakers of smuggling 6,403 projects of their own, amounting to N578 billion, into the 2018 budget.

In a letter to the Senate in July, the president said he would not submit a supplementary budget to fund priority projects or the election budget. Instead, he urged the lawmakers to remove their projects so that more money could be available for more important projects.

“Accordingly, I invite the distinguished senate to consider, in the national interest, relocating some of the funds appropriated for the new projects which were inserted into the 2018 budget proposal totalling N 578, 319, 951, 904 to cover the sum of N228, 854, 800, 205 required as noted above,” Mr Buhari wrote.

Social Intervention Programmes To The
Rescue
But in passing the 2019 election budget
virement, the senators acted contrary to
the president’s request.
Instead of approving funding for the
election by removing the frivolous
projects, the lawmakers directed the
president to cut N121 billion from the
special projects meant for poor Nigerians.
A presidency official familiar with the
matter said Mr. Buhari was ‘arm-twisted’
to accept the lawmakers’ action, and was
disappointed that “lawmakers could even
suggest that money should be taken from
the poor to fund INEC”.
The official said the presidency has
remained quiet over the matter because it
does not want to be distracted at this
time with any crisis with the National
Assembly.
If the president implements the
lawmakers’ resolution, the federal
government will be left with far less cash
for the N500 billion interventionist
projects targeted at indigent Nigerians.
Programmes such as Home Grown School
Feeding Programme for primary school
pupils; the Conditional Cash Transfer to
the extremely poor; the N-Power
volunteer Corps 500,000 jobs intervention
scheme for university graduates; and the
Government Enterprise and
Empowerment Programme, which is
essentially a loan scheme handled by the
Bank of Industry may suffer.
Idayat Hassan, the director of the Centre
for Democracy and Development (CDD)
frowned at the action of the lawmakers,
saying it showed the lawmakers always
act in their own personal interests.
“It tells us the nature of politics in
Nigeria,” Ms Hassan said “The politics is
such that the interest of the people are
never consistently followed. It is the
interest of the political class that actually
matters (to them). That is what is playing
out.”
Hamzat Lawal, the chief executive officer
of Connected Development (CODE),
accused the lawmakers of marginalising
the poor.
“Now the National Assembly is dipping
their hands into funds for social
programmes for poor people,” Mr. Lawal
said. “They did not dip their hands into
the recurrent expenditure that pays them
salaries and bogus allowances, that of the
executive or heads of parastatals.
“Now they want to take something that
benefits poor people. It tells you that
democracy as it is today and the rule of
law works for the elites, not for the poor
people.”
We Acted In Nigeria’s Best Interest
But lawmakers said they took the decision
with the best of intention and in the
interest of the Nigerian people.
Sabi Abdullahi, the spokesperson to the
Senate, said lawmakers adopted the
controversial virement proposal for two
reasons.
“We considered two things,”Mr.
Abdullahi said. “One was the ease with
which the virement descision could be
taken. The other is the historical
performance of the social intervention
projects.
“We realised that they (the executive)
have never exhausted the allocation made
to the SIPs in the past years. So we
believed that by viring some amounts
from the allocation made to it in the 2018
budget, we will not be infringing on the
SIP Projects.
“What we did was done with the best of
intention and to find a workable solution
for an urgent national problem. Besides,
all the projects in the budget are targeted
at the poor and other Nigerians and it is
wrong to create the impression that the
poor was targeted.”
Laolu Akande, the spokesperson for Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo, in whose office
the implementation of the SIPs is
domiciled, confirmed that releases for the
SIPs in the past two years have been low.
“The programme got N140billion out of
the N500billion budgeted for it in 2017,”
Mr. Akande said. “In 2016, only N80
billion of the budgeted N500 billion was
released. So the total sum so far released
is N220billion of N1 trillion budgeted for
the programme within the two-year
period.”
The presidential spokesperson, however
added, “The releases so far cannot be a
justification for cutting the budgetary
allocations to the programme.”
When asked if the budgetary cut effected
by the lawmakers will affect the
implementation of the programme this
year, Mr. Akande said that has yet to be
determined.
Buhari And The Social Investment Projects
Launched in December 2015 as part of the
2016 federal government budget, the SIP
is a social safety programmes targeted at
eight million Nigerians, under different
schemes.
In his anniversary speech on May 29, Mr
Buhari harped on the benefit of what he
called the most ambitious SIP in Nigeria’s
history.
He said,”The Social Investment
Programmes (SIP) has been created as a
means to graduating our citizens from
poverty through capacity building,
investment and direct support. The major
strategic objective is to restore livelihood,
economic opportunities and sustenance
for the poor across the country.
“The SIP programmes and projects
include:
a. Home Grown School Feeding
Programme – About 8.2 million pupils are
currently being fed from 24 States of the
Federation with over 75,000 Catering Staff
engaged under the programme.
b. The Conditional Cash Transfer has so
far recorded over 297,000 caregivers and
being trained by 2,495 Community
Facilitators in 21 states. Less privileged
Nigerians are now being paid N5,000
monthly stipend in 9 pilot States of
Bauchi, Borno, Cross River, Ekiti, Kwara,
Kogi, Niger, Osun and Oyo. Eventually the
scheme will cover all the 36 states of the
federation including the FCT.
c. Under the Government Enterprise
Empowerment Programme – About
264,269 loans had been disbursed to 4,822
societies in the 36 States and FCT, while
another 370,635 are awaiting release of
funds.
d. N-Power Job creation Scheme – is
targeted at providing jobs for
unemployed young graduates and has so
far recruited 200,000 youths while the
next batch of 300,000 have been selected,
verified and would soon be deployed
across the 36 States and the FCT.
Furthermore, 20,000 non-graduate
volunteers have also been selected to kick
off the N-Build programme in
collaboration with the National
Automotive Design and Development
Council and the Council of Registered
Builders of Nigeria.

Presidency with blame game are 5&6. Though they are just bn smarter than their supporters, they always have lies in place incase you ask for why they fail. Who are the poor Nigerians? How do the government identify them even when we have no database? Tradermoni that they said it's a business loan that are being given out by hand without collecting any details of the collector( hiw do they get that back?) is it not better if they use the money fir the most expensive election in the history of Nigeria? They all knows themselves, they are one. Waiting to read from the lawmakers.

2) is Buhari really in charge of his Govt n partyhuh

3) is this Fashola trash enough reason for a region in electing her leadershuh

4) Does PMB/PYO really deserve a second chance based on this their first tenure performancehuh

5) based on PMB's performance in this first term. Does he really have d capacity to choose d right team to deliver in another termhuh
.
I simply submit that since nijja politicians switch parties for selfish reasons n ambition. Likewise let us d masses keep switching party n president in search of our collective goods until we get it right.

We keep giving every party n president a single term until we get the one that deserves a second term. That's patriotism period!!
God bless you, i wonder how a well educated man keep mentioning zoning as if it is constitutional, instead of whomever is going to perform. Even the so called vice he is talking about is just a figure head. They are just pushing him about for the rough jobs and after winning, they will return to their positions even tinubu. We shouldn't be bothered who holds any position instead, it should be who is performing. Numerous certificates is not a yardstick for common sense though.

PoliticsRe: Fayose’s Trial: We Moved N1.2b Cash In Three Planes, Says Witness by Otsam(m): 7:34am On Nov 20, 2018
LocalChamp:
Posted By: Joseph Jibueze On: November 20, 2018
A prosecution witness yesterday told the Federal High Court in Lagos how three aircraft flew N1.2billion from Lagos to Ekiti State for delivery to former Governor Ayo Fayose.

Danmola Otuyena, a banker, was testifying in Fayose’s trial for allegedly receiving and keeping N1.2billion and $5million said to have been stolen from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), contrary to the Money Laundering Act. Otuyena, who headed his bank’s Cash in Transit Services Unit when the transaction occurred, said he accompanied the bullion van that took the cash to the airport.

He was the fourth prosecution witness and was led in evidence by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) lawyer, Mr Rotimi Jacobs (SAN).

The witness gave evidence on the bank account of Sylvan Mcnamara Limited and how cash was withdrawn from it on the instructions of former Minister of Defence (State) Musiliu Obanikoro on June 16 and 17, 2014. The witness also revealed that although Obanikoro operated the account and was the known holder, he was not the official signatory to it nor was he a director to the company in whose name the account was opened.

Otuyena said he got instructions from his boss to get the cash ready for movement to Ekiti.

“My director gave further instructions that we should move the cash to the airport. We contacted the cash in transit company that renders bullion services – Bankers Warehouse Ltd – and the cash was moved to the private wing of Murtala Mohammed Airport.

“We could not get access when we got there, so we waited outside. My director said someone would be there to attend to us.

“He spoke to a certain Gbolahan Obanikoro through my phone. He helped to process a pass and we were able to enter the airport – the bullion van and myself.

“Later, Musiliu Obanikoro came. My boss called me and spoke to him through my phone and said we should give him the cash. The cash was given to him.

“We loaded the bags of cash into the aircraft. About two or three aircraft were used to load the cash.

“My director, Premier Oyiwo, having identified Obanikoro, said I should release the cash to him. When we pay cash to beneficiaries, they sign off for collection. Obanikoro signed off for collection,” the witness said.

Asked how the cash was packed, Otuyena said: “We have bags designed in a standard way in the banking industry. We used them to package the money. We call them jumbo bags. We used the biggest sizes to pack the money. We used jumbo bags for the N1.2billion.”

Otuyena said he also got a call from his boss on June 17, 2014 to pay N200million to Malik Bauchi from the same account operated by Obanikoro. He said he was asked to waive the identification process.

“But we contacted the account holder. Rather than pay Bauchi, the amount was paid to the account holder. We used Ghana Must Go bags for the N200million,” the witness said.

Under cross examination by defence counsel Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN) and Mr Olalekan Ojo (SAN), the witness said there was an initial instruction that the N1.2billion be paid to six persons, but that they were not available to collect the cash before it was given to Obanikoro. He insisted that Obanikoro was the account holder and ran the company account even though his name was not stated in the account opening documents that he was the sole signatory.

The witness read a board resolution appointing Olalekan Ogunseye as the sole signatory to the account.

“I’ve not come across any other resolution appointing another signatory to the account or Obanikoro as the signatory,” he said.

Ojo asked the witness if there was evidence that Obanikoro personally withdrew the cash from the bank in view of the fact that there was no instruction to that effect in his name.

The witness said: “The narration we have in the bank statement is fund transfer. There was no entry that Obanikoro received the N1.2billion.”

On why that is so, the witness explained: “The instruction to release the cash first went to the Treasury Department, which debited Sylvan Mcnamara’s account and moved the cash to a transit account. So the entry is a default narration for the debit.”

The witness said Obanikoro was not a director to the company, and that he did not know what happened to the cash after he handed it over to the former minister.

Three other witnesses testified earlier for the prosecution: Zonal Heads, Southwest 1 and 2 of a new generation bank, Lawrance Akande and Abiodun Oshodi, and the Head of Financial Operations of another new generation bank, Olaitan Fajuyitan.

Akande said he was informed that money would be brought from the Akure airport to be paid into the accounts of Spotless Nigeria Limited (Fayose’s company and co-accused) and De Privateer Limited.

He said Fayose’s associate Abiodun Agbele called him in June 2014, saying he had a lodgment of N1.2billion to make. He said he also got a call from Fayose to that effect.

Akande said he asked Oshodi to follow the transaction, adding that they had solicited for deposits from Fayose.

“I had no reason to regard the funds as proceeds of crime. I didn’t observe any anomalies in the operation of the accounts,” he said under cross examination.

Oshodi testified that he got a bullion van that took the money from Akure airport to the bank for lodgment.

“Biodun Agbele came with a security escort, including police and soldiers, and we went to the Akure airport with the branch manager and the bullion van.

“We moved the bullion van close to the plane, and then evacuated the cash. The former minister was there also.

“Agbele supplied the accounts where the money would be lodged – De Privateer, Spotless and the personal account of Fayose,” he said.

The witness also narrated how the cash was deposited. For instance, he said a driver, Taofik, came to the bank 21 times to make some cash deposits in one day. He said Taofik deposited N9.9million 10 times, N9.5million 10 times, and N5.5million once. Other deposits were also made at various dates, he said.

“Taofik happens to be the driver of Abiodun Agbele. The teller was filled by our former cash officer. Taofik couldn’t write,” he said.

Oshodi testified that the deposits were normal, and that he associated with Agbele because he considered him a man of good character.

“I didn’t know the source of the money. I was glad to receive the money. Until I was called by the EFCC, I didn’t find any anomaly with the money,” he said under cross examination.

Oshodi said Fayose also did not personally visit the bank to make any lodgments.

Fajuyitan said he received instruction to make the N1.2billion available, as well as the N200million, which he moved into a transit account He said since the money came from the ONSA account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), it must be legitimate.

“My bank will not knowingly receive proceeds of crime. The bank does not regard the money as proceed of crime,” the witness said.

Fayose had pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned on an 11-count charge. He was charged with his company, Spotless Limited.

EFCC said Fayose and Agbele, who is facing a different charge, allegedly took possession of N1, 219, 000, 000 on June 17, 2014 to fund the former governor’s 2014 gubernatorial campaign.

The commission said Fayose “reasonably ought to have known” that the money “formed part of the proceeds of an unlawful act, to wit: criminal breach of trust/stealing.” The alleged offence is contrary to Section 15 (2) (d) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 (as amended) and punishable under Section 15 (3) and (4).

EFCC said Fayose, on the same day, received cash payment of $5million from Obanikoro, without going through a financial institution, the sum having exceeded the amount authorised by law. The alleged offence, EFCC said, contravenes Sections 1 and 16 (d) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011.

The commission said Fayose benefitted from N4.65billion slush funds allocated by the ONSA under Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) during the Goodluck Jonathan administration. EFCC listed Obanikoro as one of 22 witnesses who will testify in the trial. Justice Mojisola Olatoregun adjourned until January 21 and 28 for continuation of trial.

It's better they make money than ur people that is wasting for free and all values gone on nothing to show for.

PDP are so foolish....They don't realize Elrufai is not an APC Vice Presidential Candidate..

His shot went to the target...and the audience assimilated the message..

You can continue to attack Elrufai From now till the election day, it won't stop him from being reelected as Kaduna Governor . However his message resonated well with the intended audience, and everyone now sees Peter Ada Obi for who he really is-an ethnic jingoist.

So the entire North and West now have the clearer view to choose between Peter Obi and Osinbajo..
And of what benefits are the second fiddles to their region since inception of the so called democracy? The Osinbajo that is not a bigot, has he done anything to the death of Christians in kaduna or what has he brought to the south west he came from rather than coming out to do the rough jobs and be the target while the wise one sits there and laugh. Vice is as good as dumb only the title and the financials are their personal benefits.

I didnt see anywhere he mentioned Judges taking bribe is the worst form of corruption that will destroy the nation.
Dasuki must be kept in jail for indirectly killing our citizens and soldiers until our judicial system starts functioning like South Africa.
Corrupt Judges.
Yeah you are right but our problem is double standard and favoritism, dasuki committed the same offense as Obanikoro the then minister in defense ministry that is now a saint cleansed in the blood of apc. My point is, the executives made the judicials what they are today because they dictate what the outcomes should be to them.

I wish PMB came back as GMB, a military head of state with integrity.

Democracy is our biggest problem in this country.

Ours is democracy by for by force.

Nigeria is not ripe for democracy.

A country were minds are corrupt to the family and individual units, even up to the foetus in the womb.


The judiciary is the worst problem we have.
The hollier than thou attitude is out of this world.

Justice is now procured in Nigeria, and then they wake up to call it rule of law.

Very corrupt set of people!
I don't get... The difference between GMB and PMB is just the uniform. Do you mean you change personality as you change your clothes? Or don't you think the problems of this government was the same reason given after he was toppled then as the head of state?though nobody holy pass but It's the person he is.

We will vote for President Buhari over and over, again and again, because he can be trusted. You can trust him with the resources of the country. He won't filch them. You can trust him with power. He won't misuse it. You can trust him with the well being of the land, he cares.
Yes. I support you on those things you mentioned. He wouldn't filch with our resources only his children will acquire bikes and his relatives in different sectors. He won't misuse power he can only identify corrupt saints and evil oppositions. And the last one is the one we should trust all into his hand, our WELL BEING, ask the people of taraba, jos, benue if you think I'm lying.

Brymo make a little sense there tho
I disagree jare. He should rather say he's not interested. Politics is not a profession, any interested or concerned citizen can go into it. It is about interest.
