Buhari’s adviser on corruption, Okon Obla defends ex-pension boss, Maina (VIDEO)

President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide on anti-Corruption, Okon Obla, has defended former Pension boss, Abdulrasheed Maina who is involved in a pension scam debacle.

Speaking in a video shared by Patriot, Obla said there was no charge against Maina who was dismissed and reportedly declared wanted by the previous administration.

He said he was not aware of any court in Nigeria proving establishing allegations of corruption on Maina, adding that the call to arrest and prosecute the ex-pension boss should not arise.

He said, “I do not know if a court of competent jurisdiction have found Maina guilty of any offence.

“If he has not been found guilty of any offence, I do not see why some people are enraged by his purported recall into the federal workforce.

“So, are you sure there is a charge against this man?”

Buhari tells Nigerians to be ready to make sacrifice

President Muhammadu Buhari, has told Nigerians to get prepared to make sacrifice as a foundation for national growth and development.

The President, who made the appeal in his country home in Daura, Katsina, State, when he met with senior citizens of the state, led by Governor Aminu Masari, said in the life of a country, there were occasions when citizens must forgo personal pleasures or pay the ultimate price for the progress and unity of the nation.

President Buhari in a statement signed by his Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said: “The Nigeria of our time is in need of sacrifices by all citizens to free it from corruption, poverty, crime and underdevelopment.

” While commending members of the forum for complementing his administration’s efforts at national development, Buhari assured them that the security of lives, property and prosperity of all Nigerians would continue to receive priority attention. 

In his remarks, Governor Masari said the delegation was in the President’s country home to condole with him on the death of two members of his extended family. 

Masari also extended the forum’s commiseration with the President over the recent auto-accident involving his son, Yusuf, and thanked God Almighty for his survival and subsequent discharge from the hospital.

Speaking to reporters on arrival from Abuja yesterday at the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal Two, MMA2, Ikeja, Lagos, Kalu said it does not augur well for a serving governor, Ajumobi and the Communication Minster, who are members of the ruling party to have political differences at a time they should be galvanising support for Buhari’s re- election bid. Kalu said: “I have reported this to the highest authority of the party that it is not proper for a governor and minister in Ibadan to go two parallel ways.”

Nigeria is broke morally and financially, yet the sponsors are wasting millions of Naira on a highly immoral programme. Please what is the lesson that one can learn from this Big Brother show? What can our YOUTHS pick from it?
