Buhari Says To Governors: Days Of Impunity, Lack Of Accountability Is Over! by enoch273: 4:56pm On Jun 23, 2015 |
Press statement from Presidency below. President Buhari Tuesday in Abuja assured State Governors that the days of impunity, lack of accountability, and fiscal recklessness in the management of national resources are over in Nigeria. Speaking at a meeting with the Governors in the Presidential Villa, President Buhari also vowed that funds stolen by government officials who abused their offices in the recent past will be recovered and systemic leakages stopped. "There are financial and administrative instructions in every government parastatal and agency. But all these were thrown to the dogs in the past. Honestly, our problems are great, but we will do our best to surmount them. "The next three months may be hard, but billions of dollars can be recovered, and we will do our best, " the President told the governors. Expressing surprise that the governors had tolerated the atrocities allegedly committed with the Excess Crude Account since 2011, President Buhari promised to tackle the issue decisively. The President declared that the payment of national revenue into any account other than the Federation Account was an abuse of the constitution, adding that what he had heard was going on in many agencies and corporations, particularly the NNPC, was clearly illegal. On the refund of monies spent on federal projects by state governments, President Buhari assured the governors that the Federal Government will pay, but insisted that due process must be followed. The President promised special assistance for the three North Eastern states badly affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. He also said that a comprehensive statement on the economic and financial situation inherited by his administration will be made to the nation within the next four weeks. "We will try and put the system back into the right position. What happened in the 2nd Republic has apparently happened again, and even worse, but we will restore sanity to the system," President Buhari assured the Governors. On an immediate lifeline for states that owe salaries running into many months, President Buhari said that a committee headed by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, will look at the Excess Crude Account and see what can be shared immediately. The governors, led by Chairman of the Governors Forum, Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State, had presented a wish list to the President that included: Ø Obedience of extant Supreme Court ruling that all monies go into the Consolidated Federation Account; Ø An order from the President that all revenue generating agencies must pay into the Consolidated Federation Account; Ø Review of the Revenue Allocation Formula; Ø Refund of the monies expended by states on federal projects; Ø A special consideration for the three states of the North East under Boko Haram infestation; Ø Full details of the amounts that accrued into the Excess Crude Account from 2011, and how the money miraculously shrank without official sharing.

If the days of impunity are over then the President has no business using Federal funds to help out states that have not paid their workers. Rather than do that he should ask the governors (or ex-governors) of the states concerned to account for their stewardship. It should not be taken for granted that the FG will bail them out. While some states haven't paid workers in 7-8 months other states have paid up to date. If a state like Anambra is up to date why are states like Edo and Osun owing? Bailing them out is tantamount to accepting that they did the right thing in their states! |

SLIDEwaxie: what is tribalistic in pointing out that some states have paid up to date and some haven't? And that the proper thing to do in such a situation is to find out why the states that could not pay were unable to? Did I say that he should limit his investigations to the two states I mentioned? My brother every thing doesn't have to devolve to tribalism. Let us call a spade a spade. |
