He equally accused PDP of suffering from selective amnesia by its claim that he(Tinubu) endorsed Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential win as free and fair.

According to Tinubu, “the federal ruling party should address the challenge Gen. Buhari has thrown: organise a free, fair and transparent election and everything would be well. But try and skew the vote, and face sure disaster.”

Reacting to Olisa Metuh, the PDP national publicity secretary’s claim that Tinubu endorsed President Jonathan’s election at a lecture he gave at Chatham House, London, Sunday Dare, Tinubu’s special adviser on Media, accused the PDP of wilful mischief, as Tinubu’s statement was “deliberately” quoted out of context.

Mr. Metuh was reacting to the ACN support for Gen. Buhari’s warning that dire consequences awaited the polity if elections were rigged in 2015.

But putting the records straight, Dare insisted that though Tinubu said he thought Jonathan won the election, his tally was exaggerated, thus casting a slur on the integrity of his victory.

Tinubu was said to have declared in the Chatham House speech, on 18 July 2011: “I believe Jonathan won the election but that the returns attributed to him in some parts of the country obviously appeared exaggerated. Thus, celebrating the election as free and fair might lead to INEC beating its chest and might short-circuit the process of fundamental electoral reform. We must not relent in our struggle for fundamental reforms.”
The rest of the statement today reads that:”In that same speech, Asiwaju Tinubu had warned about the danger of draping the 2011 elections in qualities they did not deserve, adding that such false hope could come back to haunt Nigeria, if future elections were not improved upon, saying that by then, the damage might even be beyond the judiciary to fix.

“Again, direct quotes from the speech: “The negative consequence of this inflated measure is that the bar has been set too low for the conduct of subsequent elections. Those in power now believe they will not have to improve the process. This would be a gross miscalculation of the public mood. Should subsequent elections be of the same uneven quality, I fear a backlash that cannot simply be contained by resort to the judiciary for resolution.”

The statement “wondered how all these were different from what Gen. Buhari said; and how a party out of touch with reality and just throwing political tantrums, could claim Tinubu’s analysis of the 2011 elections amounted to endorsing Jonathan’s elections.”

“But even on the so-called international observers’ endorsement, Tinubu had warned, in this same speech, that such endorsement was hasty, misleading and did not represent the true picture of the situation.

“The 2011 elections were not of the high quality the government and many international observers proclaimed. In a way, international observers have done Nigeria a disservice that will become apparent in the future. The observers did not see what took place before Election Day or what happened in rural Nigeria. More importantly, most observers ended their day as the sun set and the polling stations closed,” Tinubu had said. “They ended their watch just as the agents of malpractice would begin their craft. Observers made a broad final conclusion based on a thin filament of information. They judged a complicated play solely by viewing one of its several acts”,it added.

It cautioned PDP against muddling up facts for political mischief and counselled it to devote more time to reading the full Chatham House speech, instead of quoting it out of context to confuse and confound unsuspecting Nigerians.

He gave the warning today in a paper entitled, “Towards Enthroning and Sustaining Democratic Practices and Ethos In Our Polity,” delivered at the 2012 law week organized by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Kaduna branch. The former governor said many Nigerians are daily losing hope in civilian rule because majority of the people are denied their rights to have a say on national issues by the nation’s political leaders.

He said the only way to avert a military takeover or violent revolution is for the current national leadership to organize Sovereign National Conference which possesses lesser risks than the danger the present situation portends.

He regretted that the country is currently under dictatorship rather than democratic governance, stressing that the political system in the present circumstance is a mere semblance of democracy.

In his words: “We must remember that because of the continuing negative state of the nation, the regimes of Abacha, Babangida and Obasanjo conducted and controlled national conferences in their own individual styles with only marginal role for the sovereign people of Nigeria. They failed to correct anything.

“If the national conferences to be established, conducted and controlled by the sovereign people of Nigeria cannot hold, then Nigeria runs the risk of undemocratic forces taking over political power as happened many times in the past, or even a social revolution qualitatively superior and more effective than the present Arab spring in the form of Sovereign National Conference which must proceed with a revolutionary struggle to establish a new reality of power to replace the existing one and establish an interim administration to conduct, direct and control the conference which can review and renew Nigeria.

“Only the people of Nigeria are sovereign and they can assert their sovereignty when there is no peaceful alternative. The sovereign people of Nigeria constitute all Nigerians aged 18 years and above who are registered voters and are entitled to be registered as voters.

“There are risks in both National conferences and Sovereign National Conference, but the risks of continuing like this and the political adventure involved are greater.

“Those who realize the risks and fear them and still want the National conferences or the Sovereign National Conference must be good in reducing or even eliminating the risks. That is what other leaders in other countries that achieved or are achieving greatness did and are doing.

“Why should Nigeria be different and pathetic? The present work of amending the 1999 constitution by the National Assembly lacks credibility and the possibility of solving the problems of the negative state of the nation.

“A big and complex third world country like Nigeria cannot afford to rely on the unconstitutional leading role of the private sector to even reach the take-off stage of economic development because of the particular character of the Nigerian private enterprise such as inexperience, immorality, greed and parasitism.

“During the colonial rule of Britain in Nigeria and the first Republic, because of the leading role of public interest, there was more nationalism, patriotism, credibility, quality leadership, and performance even though resources were meager and the system controlling all developments was colonial, semi-feudal, and conservative. The ruling classes consciously protected the system that gave birth to and sustain them unlike the present bourgeois ruling class.

“What we have in Nigeria has nothing to do with democracy. It is a combination of narrow self interest, dictatorship and anarchy.We have civilian rule instead of military rule, and it is this civilian rule which we wrongly call and regard as democracy.As preferable as civilian rule is, it is not democracy because it can be more irrelevant and dictatorial than military rule.

“If democracy cannot be achieved under the present circumstances of Nigeria because of the dictotarial control by and resistance of the revolutionary and corrupt ruling class which is leading the country to failure and destruction, then the only peaceful alternative for bringing about correctims and desired changes is for the Sovereign people of Nigeria to assert themselves and conduct a National conference with the active and patriotic support of all the three arms of government who are now aware of the desperate state of the nation and their failure to cope and avoid class suicide.”

First, GMB has been out of office as Head of Government for about 28 years, yet his relevance to the Nigerian nation is something firmly acknowledged by a broad spectrum of Nigerians, including his adversaries. As Head of State, his Oil Minister was Professor Tam David-West, a Kalabari man in Rivers state. As a Leader, he created the ambience for his ministers to work unobtrusively and devoid of executive meddlesomeness. But what do we find with Dr Goodluck Jonathan? All the appointees as Oil ministers in his two-year reign thus far as President of Nigeria have been Nigerians of Ijaw extraction, like himself!

Second, in October 1, 2010, there was a bomb blast during the year’s independence anniversary celebrations, with attendant deaths of many Nigerians. Without waiting for any preliminary report from the Security Agencies, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, as President, told a traumatized Nation, “it is not MEND!” Meanwhile, MEND is the name for the militant group from Dr Good-luck Jonathan’s ethnic extraction that had in the immediate past waged relentless and potent insurgency against the Nigerian state but had been placated with more slice of the Nation’s resources ceded to the region. Indeed, MEND impugned the President’s statement and admitted responsibility.

Third, so far as President of Nigeria, Dr Good-luck Jonathan has shown very generous affinity for Nigerians of Ijaw stock in terms of appointments and promotions in the Federal Public sector. There is a marked lopsidedness that smacks of clannishness and ethnocentrism by the President!

On Corruption and sleazy tendency, the Jonathan administration transcends all others before it! Nigerians are still befuddled by the impeachable show of arbitrariness by the regime in expending N2.67Trillion on fuel subsidy instead of the appropriated N240Billion in the 2011 appropriation act. As expected, the regime has attempted all manner of subterfuge to give Executive cover for the indicted people in the scam, who were the bank-rollers of the President’s electioneering campaign. Could it be that the missing money was funneled deliberately to the Jonathan Presidential Campaigns, with the acquiescence of the President?

GMB was quoted as saying that the Jonathan-led Federal Government is the greatest Boko-Haram. Understandably, this elicited awful response from the President. In a jejune, puerile, and very pedestrian communication, the presidential spokesman defined Boko-Haram as “Western education is sin” and went on to posit the administration’s investment in Education. How awkwardly inane could that be?!

It is common knowledge that Boko-Haram has become the euphemism for subtlety in devious schemes that cause mass killings of the innocents! As GMB aptly stated, Boko Haram has three variants, with varying degrees of severity and murderous content: the original Boko-haram that seeks to avenge the extra-judicial killing of its Leader by the Nigeria Police; the Boko Haram that pursues criminality for monetary gains and of course, the Political Boko-haram that is bent on setting the stage for ethno-religious pogrom in the Nigerian nation. It is the Political Boko Haram, with its extremely lethal content, that the Jonathan-led Federal Government represents!

 In January 2012, Dr Good-luck Jonathan told a bewildered nation, still smarting from murderous Bombings, that his government has been infiltrated by Boko Haram.

In February 2012, a serving PDP senator from Borno South (Mohammed Ali Ndume) was arrested for being a member of Boko Haram.

In March 2012, Ndume deposed to an affidavit before a Federal High Court wherein he stated that Vice-President Namadi Sambo was aware of his activities with Boko Haram.

In April 2012, General Andrew Owoeye Azazi , the National Security Adviser, averred that there was indisputable proof that Boko Haram is PDP. As things stand, President Good-luck Jonathan is the national leader of PDP.
       In April 2012, Henry Okah (while standing trial on Terrorism charges) deposed to an affidavit before a South African court that President Good-luck Jonathan was the sponsor of the October 1, 2010 bombing at Eagle square. It is on record that as governor of a Niger-delta state, Dr Good-luck Jonathan (together with his brother governors) had used the MEND to command the attention of the Nigerian state.

       As a Party, we are aware of the role played by Jonathan’s PDP in the way the People’s post-electoral angst (at the subversion of their electoral will) was turned into murderous ethno-religious mayhem.

·    We are also aware about how the Jonathan administration has consistently used the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) under the leadership of his fellow Niger-delta Nigerian, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, to demonize GMB in the despicable attempt to veil the murderous intent of the administration.

Meanwhile, with the hullaballoo that Dr Jonathan and his PDP elements have unwittingly caused within the Polity, should it be interpreted that there is a real effort towards ensuring that the 2015 election is also rigged as before in giving vim to the PDP Leaders’ claim of ruling Nigeria for 60 years? As a Nation, we are witnesses to the manner in which rigged elections have foisted on the Nation cluelessness in governance and rapacious impudence; it is indeed a dreary road to tread.

We insist that it is never ignoble to lose elections because President Abraham Lincoln, before being reputed to be the best American President that ever existed, was known to have lost elections several times. GMB, though lost Presidential elections three times to the rigging collusion of the Nigerian presidency and the electoral umpire, took the loss each time (like Abraham Lincoln) with equanimity!

In the meantime, we shall continue to trumpet the sterling qualities of the Buhari brand which is still a rarity among the Political players in our nation’s season of anomie. We stand unwaveringly by the statement credited to GMB!

God bless Nigeria.

National Publicity Secretary, CPC

(Wednesday, 16th May, 2012).

The NLC in a statement released today by its acting general secretary, Comrade Owei Lakemfa asked President Goodluck Jonathan to call members of his cabinet funding the plot to order.

According to the union, ” These hawks in government who see the NLC as being too powerful and capable of checkmating undemocratic and unpatriotic moves by the political class, have come to the conclussion that the best way out is to engineer internal ‘disagreements’ in the NLC, and hiding under this guise, to register a new labour centre which they hope will support anti-people policies and cause distractions in the Labour Movement. These government agents have even fixed July 2012 as the registration date of their proposed new labour centre.”

Labour said the same agents are also responsible for the anti-labour bill currently before the National Assembly, adding that these agents of destabilisation fail to realise that the NLC is a major buffer against any unconstitutional or anti democratic bid for power in the country.

“They do not recognize the fact that when the chips are down, it is the NLC, and not the political parties that is capable of mobilizing and getting tens of millions of Nigerians on the streets to defend our democratic project. The NLC advises the trade unionists who have enlisted for this anti- people project, and those being enticed to join them, to retrace their steps as the Congress will not allow the ranks of the working people to be split. The NLC and its allies put the working people on the alert for a struggle to stop this move”, the statement added..

The NLC also called on President Jonathan to stop his officials who are engaged in renewed media campaigns to further increase the price of fuel under the guise of a nebulous deregulation policy, which it stated that the House of Representatives has exposed as being fraudulent.

It added that the continuous waste of public funds on media campaigns, the enticement of youths and so called Town Hall meetings to mislead Nigerians to support another round of fuel price hike was a criminal enterprise.

“With the serious security challenges in the country, the heating up of the polity by politicians and rising poverty in the land, the NLC calls on President Jonathan to call the agents of his government to order on the twin issues of trying to break up the NLC by fiat and increasing fuel prIce. These are unnecessary battles which the government cannot win”,labour warned.

Speaking at plenary today, after a two week leave of medical absence, the Senate President decried Nigeria’s level of insecurity, warning that such must not be politicised.

According to him “It is, however, imperative to raise a few topical issues that concern our nation today. First is the security challenge. The current level of insecurity in the country is unacceptable and something must be done to improve it and very quickly too.

“Clearly, the terrorists have declared war on Nigeria and Nigerians. Escalating acts of terror not only threaten our unity as a nation but challenge the very human values we all believe in. Inspite of all these bombings, we should not despair or be disillusioned. We shall overcome through our collective determination.

“This is the time for concerted action by all Nigerians; ethnicity, political affiliation, religious belief notwithstanding. We have a real problem on our hands and we must handle it with the seriousness it deserves and we should never politicise it.

“Divisive statements or finger pointing are not helpful. Attempts to apportion blame for failures at this time of the burgeoning terror threats will not lead to any practical and long lasting solution. The primary responsibility of tackling this challenge lies with the Government but that notwithstanding, we all have roles to play.”

While tasking the nation’s security agencies to be proactive in their efforts, Mark said preventing terrorists attacks is more result oriented than running after the perpetrators.

“Let me also say without mincing words that the security agencies must intensify their pre-operational responsibilities, roles and actions and improve their operational capabilities. Their major task must be to thwart and prevent these bombings.

“Having said this I would like to add that these misguided groups are our brothers and sisters; Government must therefore explore all avenues to discuss with them.

“On the other hand, those who are aggrieved must find a better way to express their grievances. It is in the national interest that there is peace and security particularly if we want the transformation agenda to succeed”, he declared.

The Senate President charged the senate’s 56 standing committees to take their oversight functions over ministries, departments and agencies seriously as well as monitor the level of capital budget implementation in the new budget.

President  of the NLC, Abdulwaheed Omar said the president faces an imminent mass revolt should he ignore the report of  the Farouk Lawan led adhoc Committee on Fuel Subsidy regime.
 
Speaking  during a solidarity visit  to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, the labour leader described as disgusting and unacceptable remarks by some aides of President Jonathan that the report will not be implemented.

 According to him, “we are hearing rumours  going round about the fuel subsidy report but we want to assure you that we will continue to be behind you because you are on the right path. “On our part, we are in support of the report being taken to its logical conclusion. Unless somebody is an accomplice, Nigerians are behind you because absolute power belongs to the people, we will not allow anybody to undermine this arm of government.

 “On our way here we read in the papers that a presidential aide observed that some people were not invited for the public hearing and we said good now that they know they should invite those that they know are also involved in the fuel subsidy issue.
 
“If they say the report lacks credibility because some individuals are not mentioned then good let them come up with those people that is what Nigerians expected them to do they should be bold enough to mention names.”

In his own remarks, Trade Union Congress(TUC) President Peter Esele said the looters of N2.7 trillion fuel subsidy fund must be brought to book adding that the looting was responsible for the  poor state of things in Nigeria today,stressing that  “ this is the first time we are seeing a probe report in the country”.

 In his words, “sovereignty in Nigeria resides in the National Assembly and we are also aware of Senator Heineken Olokpobiri’s bill designed to muscle organized labour in the country.
“We are here today to reach out to the Speaker , organized labour is 100 years old in the country and we want to maintain our freedom in Nigeria.”
 
Responding House Speaker, Aminu Waziri  Tambuwal  counseled religious leaders to stop making statements that would further worsen the security situation in the country. He stressed that it was wrong to brand the activities of Islamic sect, Boko Haram as a religious war against christains. He said  “religious leaders should be more mature in their comments as no leader who knows his salt would watch his people maimed or killed because I know that both religions do not encourage violence.”
 
The Speaker pledged that,” this House will continue to do those things that would promote good governance and do those things that are within our purview because we all go to the same markets, same schools so we will continue to do the right thing.”
 
On the fuel subsidy report, he said all government agencies indicted will be properly investigated whether they like it or not and any attempt to stifle the freedom of Nigerians would be resisted by the House, stressing that Nigerians should be allowed to constitutionally associate and ensure that what ought to be done is done right

The duo slammed the NSA in their reaction to a statement credited to him, accusing the ruling party as the cause of the nation’s security challenges including the Boko Haram menace. Speaking at the South South economic summit in Asaba, Delta state on Friday, Azazi was quoted to have accused PDP of being the reason for the nation’s problems through its zoning policy.

According to the NSA“The other day when I stated that the issue of Boko Haram cannot be dealt with in just one day and that it has to be gradual,people interpreted it to mean that Boko Haram has come to stay with us. What I meant was that there was a need to understand where the problem is coming from and avoid this fire brigade approach to such
national challenges.

“We do not need to politicize the security challenge on our hand. And most people are not always comfortable when I say in some quarters that the PDP is to be blamed for some of these problems. The PDP got it wrong from the beginning by claiming that its convention and rules state that this person can rule and this person cannot.”

But speaking today when he visited the bombed office of THISDAY newspapers office in Abuja while fielding questions from newsmen, Jonathan said he was yet to read the script of what Azazi to understand what he meant by the statement credited to him, he however warned that it was very important for public officers to watch their utterances in order not to be misunderstood.

According to him, “I read in the newspapers some journalists quoting the National Security Adviser. Until I read the script myself and listen to him, one thing I do know, like philosophers will say that human beings disagree because people use different words to mean the same thing and use one word to mean different things. That is the primary reason for disagreement. That is why public officers like us are extremely careful because words are extremely elastic. So sometimes, you have something in your mind you want to communicate but the way you communicate it , different people will give different interpretations.

“That is why some human beings who don’t think are quarrelsome. When they hear something, they only understand it in one way. They don’t give the opportunity to look the other way. So until I read it, I don’t believe that the NSA mean that the practices in the PDP are anti-democractic. I cannot comment much on what happened in the First Republic, but the Second Republic that I marginally participated, aborted republic, I marginally participated and this Third Republic that I am a key actor, presently as a member of the first eleven, I still see that the PDP is one of the most democratic parties. So I don’t believe that it is undemocratic practices in the PDP that could give rise to Boko Haram or any other groups. So probably, people need to ask NSA to explain what he really mean. I have read it from the papers. I don’t believe it is undemocratic practices of the PDP that gave rise to this or any other militant groups”.

In its own reaction to the NSA’s indictment, the national publicity secretary of the PDP,Chief Olisa Metuh dismissed General Aziza’s submission ‘’as a very poor reflection of the foundation and the internal workings of the
Party as well as a wrong deduction on the roots of security challenges
in the country’’.

The party said ‘’appointees of government to navigate only on the terrain where their authority will
not be humbled by superior knowledge so as to avoid attracting undeserving and unnecessary ill feelings for their principal’’.

“We wish to state without any ambiguity that our great Party remains the only political party in Nigeria that is not owned by any ethnic group, person or group of persons. All Nigerians are equal stakeholders. All our special National Conventions for the election of our Presidential flag bearers since 1998 have seen candidates emerge on the strength of national unity, a common motif which envisages that every section of the country, majority or minority can aspire to the highest political office in our fatherland via a well entrenched rotation and zoning principle in the constitution of our party.

“We wish to add that President Jonathan emerged with overwhelming votes of delegates from every state in the country, a feat that was again repeated in April 2011 general elections which of course, have been adjudged the best in our recent history. It is therefore a comment in grave error, a fatal diagnosis of facts for anyone to insinuate or directly assert that a section of the membership of the PDP or its foundation predisposes that only a certain section and not others will aspire to the highest office in the country.

“While through the military and civilian administrations hitherto, the nation witnessed eruptions of religious violence, the Boko Haram insurgency which itself predated the tenure of the current President is only different in sophistication which again is aligned to the sophistication in this ugly global trend of violence.

“The PDP is the only political party that has been entrenching an unambiguous clause against violence in all its electoral guidelines and examples abound of our members who have been disqualified from participating in elections for attempting
violence.

“Our Party will not relent in seeking an end to the scourge of violent attacks in the country and will continue to encourage the security agencies to do their best in the interest of the nation…. The PDP as a Party will not cease supporting and assisting the National Security Adviser in as much as he remains focused in this job of
securing the lives and property of Nigerians’’, the party stated.

The elite body in a communiqué at the end of its Board of Trustees and National Executive Council meeting in Kaduna today stated that recent developments in the nation are disturbing pointers to the fact that the Jonathan administration is not interested in fighting the war against graft.

The communiqué, signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the ACF, Anthony Sani said that, “it reviewed with deep concern recent revelations of monumental corruption in the country particularly in the police pension office, the fuel subsidy scheme as well as the conviction of former Governor James Ibori by a British court and other bribery convictions relating to Halliburton, Daimler and Siemens in the USA and Germany.

“It appears to the meeting that the campaign against corruption is in danger of losing steam. More distressing, some of the cases suggest that the nation’s judiciary and investigation and prosecution agencies have been compromised and may be a part of the problem; not much of the solution.

“While commending the House of Representatives for conducting this major investigation in the horrendous scandal, the meeting called on the Federal Government to step up the war on corruption and live up to its pledge of sparing no perpetrators of this crime.

“The meeting also called on the nation’s judiciary to do more to restore public confidence in the integrity of its judgments. It must avoid giving technical but strive always to deliver substantive justice.

“In order to revitalize the fight against corruption which has become urgent, it is the considered opinion of the Forum that any contemplation of scrapping the two anti-graft agencies, the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC), should be perished. The two institutions could of course be merged”.

The group however commended President Jonathan for his efforts at providing Almajiri schools that would teach both western and Islamic education in the north, calling on Northern State governments to follow up the momentum to achieve a more rapid improvement in the quality and volume of primary and secondary education in the North.

“The meeting discussed the laudable efforts Mr. President is making to help provide Almajiris schools that would teach both western and Islamic education. This is a healthy development, considering the huge number of children not enrolled into schools. The northern state governments should follow up on the momentum Mr. President is building to achieve a more rapid improvement in the quality and volume of primary and secondary education in the North”, the communique added.

The NLC president, Comrade Abdul Wahed Omar, who issued the warning today while speaking at the Quadrennial National Delegate Conference of the National Union of Food, Beverages and Tobacco Employees (NUFBTE) in Abeokuta,the Ogun State capital said that labour would be up in arms if the federal government should go ahead to increase the pump price of petroleum products again under the guise of deregulation.

According to him,“Labour will call out Nigerians, should there be any form of deregulation now because that would be contradicting the understanding we have with the government. Besides there are clear indications that Nigerians are ready to take up government on deregulation based on the current revelation from the subsidy probe”

On whether Nigerians could still trust labour to provide the required leadership in view of how the January fuel protest was handled by labour, Umar said that Nigerians and workers in particular still trust labour on the issue of fighting for the masses.

”We don’t have problem on that, when the government goes ahead with the deregulation and mobilise for mass action to protest against it then we will see whether Nigerians will come out or not, until then, but right now all labour is saying is that there is no basis for further deregulation”, he stated.

The NLC President noted that the reports of the probe committee on the subsidy has further vindicated labour’s position that government was actually not subsiding any pump price as those in governance want the people to believe but decided to deregulate in order to get more money to spend.

He lamented that the increase in the pump price of petroleum in January has further worsened the conditions of workers and other low income earners in the country.

“The much publicized minimum wage has been rendered insufficient for Nigerian workers with the increase in the pump price as announced by the Federal Government in January. The cost of living precipitated by the increase in the fuel price, has actually eaten deep into the workers wages”, he explained.

The Congress president however said that Labour would give the National Assembly necessary support to ensure that the House of Representatives probe report on fuel subsidy was not swept under the carpet with a view to ensure that all those found culpable are brought to book.

He maintained that both the NLC and the general masses are behind the National Assembly in their recent step to nip corruption in the downstream sector of the economy in the bud, stressing that the protest in January has actually achieved a lot by initiating the action for the probe.

“It is evident that there is wide corruption in the downstream sector of the economy, how can one explain over two trillion being expended for something that you budgeted 240 billion for, why did it jump to that level, Nigerians deserve answer to all that and we are ready to see to the successful implementation of the probe”, he insisted.
