President Buhari won’t resign over NDDC,NSITF, EFCC probes – FG

-


The Federal Government has said President Buhari will not resign from office over alleged cases of corruption in Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund(NSITF), and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

 

The Peoples Democratic Party of Nigeria chairman, Uche Secondus, last week, called on President Buhari to resign over the numerous corruption cases in many of the government agencies as well as the high level of insecurity in many parts of the country.  Secondus said the ongoing corruption investigations of the NDDC, MIC, NEDC, NSITF, EFCC, and other government agencies, are pointers to the fact that the country under President Buhari’s watch, is on ventilator gasping for breath. Read here.

 

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja today Tuesday, July 28, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said the call for President Buhari's resignation was ''infantile''.

 

Dismissing claims that the anti-corruption war of the Buhari administration was waning, Lai Mohammed dared anyone with a contrary opinion to try the government and see what will happen. 


“You are all aware, Nigerians have recently been inundated with allegations of monumental corruption in a number of government agencies, including the NDDC, NSITF, and the anti-corruption agency, EFCC. Many, especially naysayers, have misinterpreted these developments as a sign that the Administration’s fight against corruption is waning.

 

In fact, the main opposition PDP has latched on to the developments to call for the resignation of Mr. President, a call that is nothing but infantile!

 

Let me state here and now that the fight against corruption, a cardinal programme of this Administration, is alive and well. President Muhammadu Buhari, the African Union’s Anti-Corruption Champion, who also has an impeccable reputation globally, remains the driver of the fight and no one, not the least the PDP under whose watch Nigeria was looted dry, can taint his image or reverse the gains of the fight.

 

Anyone who disagrees that the anti-corruption fight is alive and well is free to dare us.” he said

  Shola, a young Nigerian who was arrested for creating a Goodluck Jonathan parody Twitter account, has reacted following his release from prison.   Shola made it clear that he wasn't trying to impersonate the former Nigerian president because he indicated in his Twitter bio that it was a parody account.   He added that he shared a tweet on May 5 and was arrested on May 23 after his telecommunications service provider gave them his information without his consent.   He wrote: "The telecommunications service provider gave out my data without my consent which is really bad, my privacy was invaded. They got 5 numbers in which my uncle’s digit was among.

Self-acclaimed "King of feminism", Solomon Buchi has denounced the movement and he gave reasons for his action.   Solomon Buchi has been a vocal feminist on Instagram and Twitter for years. He recently caused an uproar when he referred to himself as the "King of feminism".    Today, he announced that he no longer identifies with the "secular feminist institution" because of what "feminism has evolved into" and because it doesn't "corroborate the Gospel of Christ that saved me".   He also apologized to anyone he might have offended in the phase of his "passionate feminist advocacy."   He wrote: "From today, I cease to identify with the secular feminist institution. As a Christian, my journey as a passionate feminist was a tad labyrinthine because for what feminism has evolved into; some of the beliefs do not corroborate the Gospel of Christ that saved me.   "From sexual liberation to LGBTQ to prostitution and a fe...
