Buhari holds much power but cannot touch some Nigerians – Aisha blasts

​
The co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) advocacy group, Aisha Yesufu, says some “corrupt officials” are untouchable in the on-going anti-graft war despite the enormous powers the Buhari government wields.

Yesufu made the claim via her Twitter handle as she continued to weigh in on the current controversy rocking the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

She wrote: “There is a need to work on the mentality that think winning an election is an achievement. No my child, it’s a RESPONSIBILITY!

“For President Muhammadu Buhari so loved the North East he asked World Bank to focus on the North yet did nothing to Babachir that stole from the most vulnerable of the North East
“Some Nigerians are untouchables. It seems.

“He (Buhari) doesn’t need power. He has too much right now. Babachir isn’t being investigated by @officialEFCC. Institutions should be empowered.

“A country where the corruption fighting bodies have cases they can or cannot work on is not a country ready to fight corruption.”

“You Surrounded Yourself With Thieves” – Kenyan Law Professor, Patrick Liuumba Tells Buhari

A Keyan professor of law, Patrick Liuumba has said that President Muhammadu Buhari surrounded himself with many corrupt people.
Describing the corrupt individuals as thieves, the professor said the president is in the fight against corruption all by himself.


Lumumba, a former director of the Kenya Anti-corruption Commission in an interview with Sahara Reporters said, President Buhari’s lack of support from these individuals around him is the reason the war against corruption cannot be successful.

He said: “I wish President Buhari institutionalizes and ensures that his agenda is bought by others. No matter how good your idea is, it must be sold to others and they must buy into it. That is how you institutionalize the idea. You cannot be a lone warrior in this matter because the children of darkness hunt like a pack of wolves and they will devour you if you are alone.”

In his recommendation, Lumumba said the president must as a matter of urgency, recruit a population of Nigerians that believe corruption is wrong.

He also advised that measurable punishment should be institutionalized for those involved in corrupt practices.

Lumumba said: “When I see the former Minister of Petroleum [Diezani Alison-Madueke] being investigated for corruption, without being a sadiist, I become very happy because her wealth is unexplained. She can’t make that money even if she lives a thousand years. What lacks in Africa is punishment, impunity is alive and well in Africa and we, the electorate, are in the business of celebrating thieves.

“Many of these individuals who are in the position of power don’t want to leave because they are thieves and they are scared that if they leave office, they will be prosecuted, and my view is that they should be prosecuted,” he said.

Lumumba further called on the younger Nigerians to wake up and live up to the expectation of cleansing the nation of corruption.

NAIJ.com earlier reported that a former lawmaker, Junaid Muhammed had told the president that he cannot fight corruption in Nigeria.

Muhammed reacting to the row between the minister of state for petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu and the group managing director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Maikanti Baru, said, the president cannot double as the substantive minister of petroleum.

He said with such it remains impossible for the President Buhari’s administration to put an end to corruption in Nigeria.

I Agree With el Rufai That Igbos & Hausas re Not Equal & Shouldn’t be Treated Equally

By: Afam Uche

I think every right thinking human should actually agree with this premise that El Rufai posited because i think it’s the way to go and that is what countries like the US have imbibed and this has made them what they are today.

However, i think El Rufai is either ignorant or drunk with tomfoolery to the point that he may not even understand the implication of his own statement. It is my duty to make some assertions based on the reality on ground and for the benefit of this post, i will be doing so by comparing the North and South.

The Southern part of Nigeria is head and above the north as it relates to Education, so there shouldn’t be any such thing as federal character in the admission of students because only those who are more brilliant should be admitted after we’re not all equal.

Still based on our advantage in education, the south should be heading most government institutions and people with good educational backgrounds should be at the helm not career politicians.
The south provides over 90% of the resources that sustains the country and as such, should actually take bulk of the proceeds of these resources, afteral unequals cannot be equal.

Let’s even assume that the north is more populous and we are aware that it has more land than the south. Does this mean that the resources from another part of the country should be used to massage their overbloated self worth?

The only premise that agrees with the statement is the fact that not all states or regions are equal and as such, every constituent units should be allowed to develop based on the resources at the disposal. The north should focus on farming and areas where it has it’s strengths while the south does the same thing. Only then shall unequals not be equal.
