CITIZENS SCORECARD OF BUHARI: 2015- 2023.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND ILLEGAL WEEKLY FEDERAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL (FEC) MEETING! (Part 16).   EFCC MUST INVESTIGATE SUSPICIOUS UNDERGROUND CONTRACTS OF BUHARI'S     CORRUPT CABINET BEFORE THEY ESCAPE!

PROLOGUE: "Nigerian politicians from 1999-2023 are living larger than life at the expense of the "ordinary man" and the poor masses having accumulated illegal/ illicit financial gains created through various loopholes in the very expensive, wasteful and prodigious Military Capitalist Presidential System of Government!

"Although the arrogant and greedy representatives are aware that SOVEREIGNTY constitutionally belongs to the PEOPLE according to the 1999 Nigerian Federal Republic of Nigeria Constitution, but they subtly usurped that authority through feudalistic agendas and had successfully kept the poor masses in a master-servant relationship!"

THEIR MODUS OPERANDI!

How did they perpetrate such malicious atrocities for so long? 

1) Once election formalities were concluded - with the "Certificate of Return" safely in their kitties - the Electorate is abandoned until the next polls!

2) The EXECUTIVE focuses on siphoning illicit monies through dubious patronage  "Contracts" to recoup electioneering expenses at its illegal/unconstitutional weekly FEDERAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL (FEC), MEETING, under the watchful eyes of the President!

3) The LEGISLATURE capitalizes on ANNUAL BUDGET PADDING, AND FOXY OVERSIGHT OF Ministries, Departments, Agencies/ Parastatals!

4) The JUDICIARY is left in the cold to fend for itself and "eat from the crumbs of bread" which fall from the tables of those "who are more equal than them!"

5) Every FOUR years these heartless politicians purchased new posh/exotic cars, acquire very costly residential apartments with the tax-payers money!

QUESTIONS:

*Why did the soldiers opt for the PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM and the self-acclaimed Democrats who took over in 1999 fail to change the system up till 2023?

 *Why must Nigeria remain a BICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY LEGISLATURE which gulps almost half of every annual budget appropriation in CONCURRENT EXPENDITURE to fill the bellies of those GLUTTONS?

* Was it not high time we dispensed with the present presidential system and collapse all structures from PRESIDENCY to the LEGISLATIVE, GOVERNORSHIP,  STATE ASSEMBLIES and to the LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS; to a more VIRTUALLY COSTLESS PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM that will involve GRASSROOT  PARTICIPATION IN GOVERNMENT? 

*Why or how will a country which was battered through a self-inflicted Biafra 30- months Civil War - 1967-1970 and was immersed in military dictatorship for almost 30 years opt for the luxurious administration of reckless affluence that satiates only the politicians appetite?

*Is it a secret that Nigeria represents a CHAOTIC COUNTRY IN A SCOTCHED/DRY LAND which badly-needed showers of economic blessings to comfort a people thirsty for better life and basic amenities of life? 

*Why are the politicians who took over the mantle of leadership from 1999-2023 find it very difficult to initiate and draft a brand new people-oriented and friendly constitution that will ensure prudent management of scarce resources, suitable to deliver dividends of democracy to the masses instead of a prodigious (wasteful) presidential system which recklessly institutionalized corruption?

THE UNDERLISTED DUBIOUS CONTRACTS ARE CURRENTLY PASSING UNDER THE BRIDGE AS BUHARI BOWS OUT!

1) NGN 37billion naira (USD$100million dollars), has been shared to "CONTRACTORS" TO RENOVATE THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY COMPLEX - AND THE DEAL IS STILL ONGOING IN SPITE OF IMMENSE PUBLIC OUTCRY!

2) NGN1.4 BILLION NAIRA CONTRACT WAS AWARDED FOR THE "ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN" FOR THE NEW 12-STOREY DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES (DPR) ABUJA HEADQUARTERS!

3) ABOUT NGN35 BILLION NAIRA OF TAXPAYERS MONEY WAS ALSO APPROVED TO CONSTRUCT THE DPR HEADQUARTERS EDIFICE IN ABUJA WITHOUT RECOURSE TO DUE PROCESS!

4) The latest contract scam under the watch of Major General Muhammadu Buhari in the twilight of his administration is alleged to be enmeshed in the controversial E-Customs Project worth United States $3.1 billion dollars about NGN142 billion naira!

And in all of these sordid financial crimes/scams, Buhari has kept a very quiet, daring and brazen posture of INSTITUTIONAL IMPUNITY!

TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL (TI), ALWAYS RANKED NIGERIA LOW IN CORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEX (CPI)!

Long before TI was founded in May 1993 corruption had been a bone of contention in Nigeria because the first military coupists overthrew the Democratic government in January 1966 bloody coup for criminal offences of corruption aggrandizement, tribalism, nepotism etc, BUT the soldiers who took over, perfected the ignominy for almost 30 years and virtually EMPTIED THE ENTIRE TREASURY THROUGH LATE GENERAL SANNI ABACHA WHO DIED IN JUNE 1998!

Previous research by TI GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAM found that corruption deprives the noble health sector of USD$500 billion dollars annually with Nigeria leading the pack of the most corrupt country in the world!

THE CITIZENS SCORE BUHARI ZERO ON CORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEX!

BUHARI SHOULD BE ARRAIGNED BEFORE THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (ICC), ON RETIREMENT!

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

(Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a Godly Perspective.

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 12.NO 506. 23rd April 2023.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

BUHARI SHOULD BE ARRAIGNED BEFORE THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (ICC), ON RETIREMENT!

That Nigeria has remained an indivisible nascent democracy in eight years of deliberate and well-calculated military assault on the good and resilient people of

the geographic contraption in diversity by a very desperate but tired old soldier can only be attributed to divine providence!

The atrocities of crimes/criminalities of eight years filled with uncertainties and trepidations in respect of the horrible insecurity regime which was unleashed on the country from 2015-2023 can be best described as a combination of the WORLD WAR I and II combined except that the HIROSHIMA ATOMIC BOMB  WAS NOT DETONATED!

Conservative estimate of human casualties without exaggeration CANNOT BE LESS THAN A MILLION PEOPLE during Major General Buhari's inglorious eight-year tenure dominated by various acts of brigandage by Fulani Herdsmen, Boko Haram Terrorists, Bandits, Gunmen, IPOB & ESN TERRORISTS etc, due to incapacitation of the Commander-in-Chief's security forces which were overstretched and overwhelmed by the sheer audacity and superior fire power of the criminals!

Nigerians expected that a desperate Muhammadu Buhari, who attempted to be a democratic President of Nigeria on three occasions from 2003-2011 until he succeeded on the 4th occasion in 2015, would be very dedicated to serve the nation with all his track record experiences in governance as far back as when he was military Commissioner of Petroleum Resources as far back as1976!

But from all indications the old soldier never loved his country as he pretended to be. He is nepotistic, tribalistic, high-handed, domineering, clannish, a religious bigot, feudalistic, impunistic etc, ensured that he surrounded himself with people from his tribal enclave - especially the FULANI CLAN!

When retired General Olusegun Obasanjo alleged that Buhari had an agenda to FULANIZE and ISLAMIZE Nigeria We disagreed with him and told the world that Buhari was a TRUE DEMOCRAT - We have been proved wrong!

TESTIMONY OF 'AHMED 'BOLA TINUBU IN RESPECT OF BUHARI'S THREE LOST ELECTIONS!

"Buhari wept bitterly on national television after the third loss and swore not to contest again but I encouraged him to try the FOURTH time."

It is important to highlight the fact that  the three occasions when Buhari lost elections, colossal and collateral damages which led to heavy human casualties in their hundreds, malicious destruction of government strategic installations disrupted economic activities especially in the Northern parts of Nigeria where he is idolized as a hero because of his DELIBERATE INCITEFUL SPEECHES!

Buhari always claimed that he was RIGGED OUT and instructed his supporters to patiently wait to witness the counting, collation and announcement of results. 

In his words; "Because you haven't done this in all past cases you allowed them to turn your victories into defeats!"

Buhari lost the election for the third time in 2011 and within three days, violence which erupted in the Northern part of the country recorded about 700 deaths and thousands of innocent people displaced in the Northeast, Northwest and North Central parts of the country!

Following Tinubu's encouragement to try his luck once again, Buhari who has no respect for the SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIVES THREATENED THAT IF THE 2015 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS NOT TRANSPARENT THAT "THE DOG AND THE BABOON WILL ALL BE SOAKED IN BLOOD!"

Everyone knows that government is a continuum and whoever aspires to occupy political offices must be genuine patriot  spiritually, mentally, academically, and physically prepared for such positions of authority and pursue existing socio-economic policies of previous administrations with patriotism.

To serve and not to steal, to gather and not to scatter, to preserve and not to embezzle, to enrich and not to impoverish his constituency which is the entire nation of Nigeria, to lift and not to cast down the citizens ambitions and aspirations, to deliver dividends of democracy to the masses and not to enrich a few through inordinate ambitions through acts of NEPOTISM;  and to remember at all times that they would be accountable and be judged by the Almighty God our Creator and posterity!

PRESIDENT BUHARI IS AN ADDICTED SOLDIER!

Soldiering had been Buhari's addiction from youth and when he successfully became military Head of State at 42 years he pretended to be possessed with the zeal of patriotism for rescuing the downtrodden during his short-lived 23- month tenure! 

The aborted appointment vexed him sore and he purported in his heart to return some day to fulfill his inordinate ambition as a civilian President and on assumption of office in 2015 declared that he "would be for nobody, but for everybody"! 

From that onset at 72 years, he left no one in doubt that he had hidden agendas because he carelessly allowed the opposition to perpetrate his administration due to nonchalant attitude to his constitutional responsibility in Chapter II Sections 13,14, (1-4) which emphasized that the security and welfare of the citizens are the primary objective of government.

BUHARI NOW SAYS, "I AM SORRY"! TO WHO?

There is virtually no family in the last eight years of Buhari's presidency that did not  lose a family member to the cold hands of untimely and avoidable deaths! 

Outside of the official condolences, has the soldierman ever bore the pains of the thousand of thousands of parents who still agonize over their children who have been mercilessly killed/kidnapped without respite from the custodians of their security and welfare?

NO NO NO! The following are the LACK - LUSTER CROCODILE TEARS OF THE  lamenting 80-year-old General who knew from the onset that he was not up to the task:

"Those who that think that I have hurt them so much, please pardon me". The apology was made during his last Sallah Homage Reception at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Friday, 21st April, ,2023.

“So please whoever says I have done wrong to them, we are all humans. There is no doubt I hurt some people and I wish you will pardon me; and those who think that I have hurt them so much please pardon me."

But majority of Nigerians would have none of his antics especially when he claimed that the 2023 General Election was transparent, free, fair and credible and also claimed the outcome as his LEGACY!

THIS IS THE SECOND APOLOGY OF BUHARI TO NIGERIANS IN EIGHT YEARS!

During the Easter period in the year 2016 President Buhari apologized to Nigerians for dissolving University Governing Councils along with the Boards of Parastatals Agencies with the following words:

"We gave a blanket order which we had to rescind when we said all Boards were suspended or dissolved.

"We had to go back and lick our vomit.....

"So there is nothing wrong in saying sorry so we said sorry..... And allowed all these universities to continue with their councils

"So please try to bear with us as we reflect on where we found ourselves."

On the much-criticized issue of globe-trotting, President Buhari explained as follows: "Sometime you need to present your case on personal basis to your economic colleagues and neighbours because nothing is better than personal touch and I believe we are learning a lot and eventually the nation will realise the dividends of those strategic trips"

Nigerians could hardly wait for Buhari to pack bag and baggage and get out of the Villa so that the Citizens could enjoy fresh breath of air - especially if ICC OPERATIVES ARE ON GROUND TO ESCORT HIM TO THE HAGUE, TO GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIS EIGHT-YEAR STEWARDSHIP!

CITIZENS SCORECARD OF BUHARI: 2015- 2023. DEBT MANAGEMENT OFFICE (DMO).

USD$800 MILLION DOLLARS TO BE DISTRIBUTED IN CASH TO 10 MILLION NIGERIANS AS PETROL MONEY!

On Wednesday 29th March 2023, Buhari's Minister of Finance Zainab Ahmed announced that Nigeria secured an USD$ 800 million United States dollars GRANT from the WORLD BANK for cash handouts to the poor as part of efforts to end a costly fuel subsidy regime by June 2023 BUT contrary to her claim the money was not a GRANT BUT A LOAN!

According to her the loan, $800 million dollars, has been secured from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), to provide post- petroleum subsidy palliatives for over 50 million Nigerians ahead of June 2023.

She also said that the secured loan was the first tranche already available to be disbursed to 10 million households IN FORM OF CASH because there's a provision of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), that states that; "18 months after the effectiveness of the PIA all petroleum products must be deregulated", and the June 2023, deadline tallied with the calculation according to her.

From the minister's statement it is very evident that there will be more borrowings from the World Bank for Cash Transfers to the most vulnerable in the Nigerian society who have now been registered in A NATIONAL SOCIAL REGISTER!

In fact the out-going President has mortgaged the entire infrastructures of the Nigerian Economy to foreign countries through EXTERNAL BORROWINGS!

1) Nigeria owes  CHINA according to the Debt Management Office (DMO), $548.67 million dollars (NGN 246.11 billion naira), to service railway-related debts between 2016 and 2022, while current bilateral debt profile was 12.24% of the total external debt of  $39.66 billion US Dollars excluding States external debt as at January 2023.

2) DMO also revealed that the Federal Government of Nigeria under the Watch of Muhammadu Buhari has borrowed about $3.27 billion dollars from FIVE foreign countries namely China, France, Japan, India and Germany between 30th June 2015 and 30th September 2022. 

3) Records from the DMO showed that the borrowings from the five countries rose by 206.96% that is, from $1.58 billion in June 2015 to $4.85 billion by September 2022.

4) In June 2015 Nigeria had borrowed $1.39 billion dollars from China's Exim Bank of China, $140.25 million dollars from France's Agence Francaise Development, $43.10 million Dollars from Japan's Japan International Cooperation Agency, $11.73 million Dollars from Germany's Kreditanstalt Fur Wiederaufbua.

5) Nigeria's bilateral debt profile by September 2022 the bilateral debt profile had risen to the following levels:

China $4.09 billion dollars, France $526.48 million dollars, Japan $57.11million dollars, Germany $153.06 million dollars and India $27.17 million dollars, with China leading the pack as Nigeria's biggest LENDER!

INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF) COMMENTS ON NAIRA DEPRECIATION!

It is no longer news that the NAIRA lost its value and had suffered international degradation and disrepute long time ago through financial mismanagement, fiscal irresponsibility and economic policy somersaults by corrupt leadership of consecutive CLUELESS GOVERNMENTS!

Almost three quarters of each annual budget estimates/appropriations since 2007 to date was always diverted to DEBT SERVICING due to outrageous DEBT PORTFOLIO!

IMF recently said that the long-term rate of the depreciation of the naira equated to a loss off 10.6% of its value annually since 1973. According to this international organisation the rate was 1.5 times higher than the long-term rate of the currencies of other Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDE), at 7.2% and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), at 7% over the same period.

The accredited international monetary body concluded on Nigeria's financial predicament as follows:

"It's exchange rate underwent more persistent depreciation. Nigeria long-term rate of currency depreciation (on average 10.6% annually since 1973), was 1.5 times higher than both EMDE (7.2%) and SSA (7%). Given limited availability of long-term data it is difficult to estimate the exact reasons "

THIS VENTURE IS NOTHING SHORT OF DEPARTURE BRIBERY TO ASSUAGE THE UNRELENTING AGITATION AGAINST BUHARI'S EIGHT-YEAR MALADMINISTRATION OF NIGERIA!

The Citizens score Buhari ZERO; having turned Nigeria to the WORST BORROWER NATION OF THE WORLD!

The TALAKAWAS should shun him, his "CRUMBS OF WORTHLESS NAIRA" and leave him for posterity to judge!

SECRET ASSENT TO 1999 CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS BY GENERAL BUHARI IS A HOOD WINK!

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 12.NO 505. 16th April 2023.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

SECRET ASSENT TO 1999 CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS BY GENERAL BUHARI IS A HOOD WINK!

[Allegory of Patched Tubes And Tubeless Tyres.]

"Majority of automobile tyres on Nigerian roads are tubeless. Gone are the days of roadside tubes patching. The world has moved on through scientific inventions that have made it possible to drive electric vehicles possibly with electrified tires in this present era of modern civilization. 

"The Military-crafted Nigerian 1999 Constitution represents the Tyre Tube with several PATCHES and the Legislators, the roadside VULCANIZERS who were ever ready to patch the controversial and obnoxious document every four-year duty tour because it is full of punctures which are convenient for both the Executive and the Legislature to keep patching since the exercises provided extra billions of naira in illicit transactions to execute!"

PAST PRESIDENTS REJECTED THE PATCHED TYRE TUBES!

Consecutive Presidents from 1999-2023 refused assent; rejected all amendments and described them as self-seeking and inordinate!

But very recently, and in the heat of the furore that greeted outcome of the February-March 2023 version of Nigeria's General Elections, the old soldier Major General President Muhammadu Buhari, stealthily and quietly signed 16 out of 35 Bills forwarded by the 9th National Assembly (NASS), in January 2023, at his Departure Lounge, to hoodwink the gullible and the uneducated but ended up to further damage his battered image!

The signed bills according to newspaper reports devolved more powers to the States in view of incessant agitation for devolution of power from the federal to the federating States to address true fiscal federalism.

According to the requirements of Section 9 of the Military Constitution at least 24 State Assemblies were required to approve the Bills before they could be forwarded to Mr. President for assent.

TYRE-PATCHING IS COSMETIC, WASTEFUL AND ARCHAIC - A BRAND NEW UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION IN THE FORM OF A TUBELESS TYRE, IS THE PANACEA TO POPULAR AND STABLE GOVERNMENT!

And Whereas the major issues in contention and which had generated violent agitations since the 1966 Military coup de tat or rather since the end of the Biafra War had always been THE UNITARY  form of government which cowed Federating States to become subjugated to the Central government as in the vertical, unitary military form of government!

And which was further foisted through the 1999 bogus military constitution's Exclusive Legislative List that conferred absolute power and authority to the Federal Government with 68 items to subject the 36 States to permanent and abject poverty; and Whereas the Confederating States "lay the golden eggs"!

On Thursday 25th January 2018, KADUNA STATE GOVERNOR-LED COMMITTEE ON TRUE FEDERALISM submitted its very detailed Report to President Buhari IN THE SPIRIT OF DEVOLUTION OF POWER from the Centre to the States as follows:

1) RESOURCE CONTROL by all States.

2) STATE POLICE and STATE PRISONS to be run by all states of the federation in respect of certain crimes.

3) INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY which should be enjoyed if such candidate was not a member of any political party, SIX MONTHS prior to any election.

4) CONSTITUTIONAL AUTONOMY for the 774 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS to be free to legislate freely and create any number of councils as they so desired.

5) Foods, Drugs and Poison to be moved to the Concurrent List so that States could constitutionally legislate on those items while narcotics, psychotropic substances will remain on the Exclusive List.

6) Labor issues, trade unions, industrial relations, safety/welfare, disputes/ minimum wages/industrial arbitration should be handled by both States/Federal Government who should enjoy independent legislation.

7) Mines and minerals, oil fields and mining, geological surveys and natural gas that are ONSHORE should be vested in all states of the federation while all OFFSHORE shall remain vested in the government of the federation.

8) Registration of Business Names should be on the Concurrent List for companies to choose their areas of operations; State or nationwide.

9) Collection of Stamp Duties was also recommended to be moved to the Concurrent List for the States to collect duties from individual and small businesses while Federal Government collects duties from limited liability companies. 

10) ISSUE OF CITIZENSHIP, LOCAL GOVERNMENT OR STATE OF ORIGIN which had hitherto been discriminatory should be replaced with STATE OF RESIDENCE through a proposed amendment to the FEDERAL CHARACTER COMMISSION ACT to allow people domicile in a place to be considered as INDIGENES of such place.

It is very obvious that Legislators of NASS took a queue from  Governor El-Rufai's Committee's Report to arrive at the deductions which were eventually forwarded the States for CONCURRENCE, but unfortunately the fundamental objectives have been defeated through the CLANDESTINE approval of Bills which would FOREVER be difficult to implement!

A. For instance, how would the Fifth Alteration (No.17) Bill which sought to alter the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 to allow States to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity in areas covered by the national grid; and for related matters be IMPLEMENTED WHEN such States could not source funds even to pay the monthly NGN30,000 naira national minimum wage for their workers; could not establish modern health/facilities or institutions, good roads, qualitative education, decent accommodations etc, for its population?

B. How would Federating States that lack modern scientific and ICT infrastructures to handle naturally-endowed agrarian/pastoral opportunities, generate sufficient INTERNAL REVENUES to supply ELECTRICITY within their territorial boundaries?

C. Can cash-strapped States establish individual CASH-INTENSIVE RAILWAY SYSTEMS.

The Fifth Alterations Nos.1-5 assented to by President Buhari dealt with CHANGE OF NAMES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS; 

No.8 sought to regulate the first session and inauguration of members-elect of the National and State Houses of Assembly; No. 9. sought to delete the reference to the provisions of the criminal code, penal code, criminal procedure act, criminal procedure code, or evidence act while No. 10 sought to exclude period of intervening events in the computation of time for determining pre-election petitions, election petitions and appeals while No.12 sought to provide for the post-call qualification of the Secretary of National Judicial Council;

No.15 sought to delete the item "prisons" in the Exclusive Legislative List and re-designate it as "Correctional Services" in the Concurrent Legislative List while No.16 sought to move the item "railways" from the Exclusive Legislative Session List to the Concurrent Legislative list and for related matters!

Bill No. 23 required the President and Governors to submit the names of persons nominated as Ministers or Commissioners within sixty days of taking the oath of office for confirmation by the Senate or State Houses of Assembly while No. 32 sought to correct the error in the definition of the boundary of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Andy Bill No. 34 required government to direct his policy towards ensuring the right to food and food security in Nigeria and for related matters etc, etc.

GOVERNOR NASRI  EL RUFAI'S COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION IS A PROTOTYPE OF NECESSARY INGREDIENTS FOR A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION!

Retired Major General Buhari did not approve the request of the masses of the CITIZENS OF NIGERIA FOR (A) RESOURCE CONTROL, (B) STATE POLICE, (3) INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY, (4) MINES AND MINERALS, OIL FIELDS AND MINING, GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS AND NATURAL GAS THAT ARE  ON SHORE TO BE VESTED IN ALL STATES OF THE FEDERATION; because he has never been a REFORMED DEMOCRAT  AS CLAIMED IN SEVERAL INTERVIEWS!

Nigeria needs a fresh air of freedom from feudalism, oligarchy, nepotism, tribalism and despotism! 

In eight years of martial administration Buhari has no legacy to bequeath to Nigerians!

As soon as 'Bola Tinubu comes on board, it behoves on him to put into motion the establishment of a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH REFERENDUM WITHIN SIX MONTHS ACCORDING TO DIVINE APPOINTMENT!

Nigerians deserve peace, tranquility, joy, happiness, security of their lives and property in a country which is their ancestral home and nobody must deny them of their inalienable rights.

HON. ABDULMUMIN JIBRIN IS A CONFESSED TREASURY LOOTER; HE SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED!

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 (Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a Godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 12.NO 504. 9th April 2023.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

HON. ABDULMUMIN JIBRIN IS A CONFESSED TREASURY LOOTER; HE SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED!

The kind of horse-trading for the position of principal officers among the in-coming legislators of the 10th National Assembly has taken dimension of a frenzy Stock Exchange session which turned out to be very “Bullish”!

In spite of the commotion and national confusion that resulted from the TWO INEC-badly-managed Elections across the country, over 300 successful House of Representatives Legislators are poised to slug out the in-house highly-prized positions with one another in a battle of survival of the fittest!

All manner of permutations by a genre of political analysts in respect of likely candidates for vacant positions outside of the Muslim-Muslim “Winners” at the presidency level have inundated the internet/social media networks, especially when the minority group of parties have claimed to be the greater majority and could call the shots during the up-coming elections in spite of the fact that they are a new breed of the motley crowd of mixed multitudes and strange bedfellows!

At stake are the following principal offices in contention at the National Assembly: Senate President and his deputy; House of Representative Speaker and his Deputy; Majority/Minority Leaders and deputies; Chief Whip and his deputy etc.

ONE OF THE ARROW-HEADS OF THE 10TH NASS POSITION HUSTLERS, IS HON. ABDULMUMIN JIBRIN; PHD, MBA. FORMERLY, APC (BUT NOW), NNPP-KANO, KIRU-BEBEJI!

In a very recent Channels TV interview – first week in April 2023 – Hon. Jibrin flippantly responded to a question on the outrageous annual emoluments of the NASS Legislators as follows:

“Budget allocation to National Assembly is only two per cent (2%), of total annual Budget of the nation compared to the larger picture of allocations to other arms of government!”

[PLEASE FIND BELOW THE CONFESSIONS OF THE UNPATRIOTIC LEGISLATOR ON HOW ANNUAL BUDGETS WERE PADDED YEAR-ON-YEAR WHILE THE MASSES DIED IN ABJECT POVERTY! THEY WERE PUBLISHED IN PAST EDITIONS OF THE ZION B-BC NEWSLETTERS].

VOL. 5. NO. 165. 9TH OCTOBER, 2016.

“At the restoration of the present democratic experience which has now clocked over 17 years, Legislators still felt short-changed and had to make up for all salaries, allowances, emoluments etc, which eluded them for about 30 years and the ripple effects of their greed have been reflected in annual gaguantous appropriation, now at N150 billion naira as RUNNING COST, which has wiped out all their tears as most of them have become multi-millionaires and billionaires within the very short period! The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,1999, Constitution approves 360 Geo-Political Constituency legislators for the House of Representatives, (HOR), and 109 Senators for the Upper Chamber, to jointly make laws for good governance of the nation but recent revelations of financial recklessness in the HOR by a ranking member, have confirmed several years of speculations and allegations of a secret Appropriation Office, which was not subjected to Revenue Mobilisation Allocation And Fiscal Commission's (RMAFC), scrutiny or control! The former Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr. Maikasuwa, who was jointly charged with Senators Saraki and Ekweremadu, in the celebrated forgery case of the Senate House Rules, was ordered by an Abuja High Court, in March 2015, to make available to a Non-Government Organisation, Legal Defence and Assistance Project (LEDAP), NASS SECRETIVE CONSTITUENCY ALLOWANCES earned by Nigerian Lawmakers, but because he appealed the judgement, the matter was yet to be put to rest!

However, the Editorial Board of the weekly Zion B-BC Newsletter wish to draw attention of the TALAKAWAS - the TAX PAYERS and the ELECTORATE - to the following revelations by Abdulmumin Jibrin, a ranking member and an insider in the House of Representatives whom the LORD has opened his mouth to expose the rot of financial mismanagement in the hallowed House, even at this austere period of national economic recession because  his uncontrollable outbursts are the answers to our several prayers and supplications to the Almighty God over institutional impunity in government! The unedited version of his submissions to the WORLD are reproduced below unedited:

"HOW WE SHARED NIGERIA MONEY BY HON. Abdulmumin JUBRIN "I got N650 million as my running cost as the Chairman of Appropriation Committee. Speaker Yakubu Dogara got N1.5 billion, His Deputy Yusuf Lasun got N800 million. House Majority Leader Femi Gbajabiamila got N1.2 billion; Deputy Majority Leader Buba Jibrin got N1.2 billion. House Whip Alhassan Ado Doguwa got N1.2 billion, Deputy House Whip got N700 million. House Minority Leader Leo Ogor got N1.2 billion, Deputy Minority Leader Onyema got N800 million. Minority Whip got N700 million, Deputy Minority Whip got N700 million. I have documents to back up all these.

"TO ALL HONOURABLE MEMBERS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES NATIONAL ASSEMBLY ABUJA.

My dear Colleagues, BURDEN OF PROOF OF EVIDENCE: RUNNING COST OF HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

"I wish to draw your attention to the fact that since you suspended me yesterday and the suggestion of the Ethics Committee report that my allegations were generalized and without proof, I have come under intense public scrutiny and pressure to prove that there exists systemic corruption in the House. I have taken it as a responsibility to prove to the public that the House is a den of systemic corruption. As colleagues, I have bound with many of you and built a lifelong friendship.

"I have some of you that I hold in high esteem. If you end up at the receiving end of the actions I will be taking up in the next few days, I want you to know there is nothing personal but commitment and fervent desire to ensure that corruption is wiped out of the House and reforms that will restore the battered image of the House and take back the House to the Nigerian people is implemented. Consequent upon the above and before I proceed with the aggressive steps I intend to take, I hereby DEMAND that if you have illegally taken or stolen any money meant for the RUNNING COST OF YOUR OFFICES FOR YOUR ENTIRE STAY IN THE HOUSE, YOU SHOULD RETURN THE MONEY WITHIN ONE WEEK TO THE CLERK OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AND FOR THE PURPOSE OF CLARITY, I AM REFERRING TO ABOUT 10 MILLION NAIRA YOU COLLECT FROM TAX PAYERS' MONEY MONTHLY. THE CLERK WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH OFFICIAL ACCOUNT DETAILS, FAILURE OF WHICH I WILL TAKE NECESSARY ACTION TO ENSURE THAT YOU RETURN ANY MONEY STOLEN AND STAND WITNESS AGAINST YOU IN CASE OF PROSECUTION.

"I have written to the Clerk of the National Assembly to stand by in anticipation. In the face of the revenue challenges and biting hardship the country is currently facing, there is no better time the country needs such money than now. In the case of the Presiding and Principal Officers, in addition to my demand in this letter which applies to them too, I have written them yesterday and gave them 72 hours ULTIMATUM to make public the total amount they have received as running cost in their entire stay in the House, failure of which I will proceed with necessary legal action to compel them to make the total amount each of them have received public. There are other issues of monumental corruption in the House that I will be raising in the following weeks which we must all deal with, but first let’s get done with this one.

"Thank you. God bless. Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin Ph.D, MBA. APC-Kano, Kiru-Bebeji Federal Constituency, Kano."

GOVERNOR NASRI EL RUFAI ALSO EXPOSED THE LEGISLATORS! [Read below excerpts from a past publication: VOL. 6. NO. 192, Edition of 16th April, 2016.]

GOVERNOR EL-RUFAI EXPOSES LEGISLATORS SQUADERMANIA ON SPURIOUS PROJECTS!

“El-Rufai had challenged NASS to make its budget public because the budget of 469 members was larger than the capital budget of 10 million inhabitants of Kaduna State and also lager than the entire budget of several Nigerian States. He also claimed that over a period of TEN YEARS, from 2008, NASS as an institution has cost the country over a TRILLION NAIRA WITHOUT ANY DETAIL ON HOW THE AMOUNT WAS ALLOCATED AND SPENT! 

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY APPROPRIATES TO ITSELF A WHOOPING SUM OF BETWEEN N120 - N150 billion annually which they always claimed was “just 2%” of the total budget.”

VOL.10. NO. 428. 24TH OCTOBER 2021.

VICE PRESIDENT ‘YEMI ALSO QUERIED 2017 BUDGET PADDING BY NASS!

In his acting capacity as President, Professor ‘Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, in 2017, faulted the NASS for tampering with the Budget proposal as presented by the Executive. He said legislators had no right to insert new projects in a budget proposal noting that “there were some grey areas especially funds lifted from key projects, to introduce new projects by NASS!”

CONCLUSION:

Hon. Jibrin and his accomplices who are still walking free MUST be arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and prosecuted!

If 469 Legislators and aides (totaling about 900 persons), collect between NGN120-150 billion naira annually, the over 200million population should be delineated to similar segment and paid equal amounts to cushion their social needs.

With a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN PLACE – all unpatriotic politicians will be kept in jail for Nigeria to become a stable democracy and the economic giant of Africa! “A stitch in time saves nine”!

INTERIM NATIONAL GOVERNMENT IS SYNONYMOUS TO MILITARY COUP DE TAT!

ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER.   

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 12.NO 503. 2nd April 2023.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

INTERIM NATIONAL GOVERNMENT IS SYNONYMOUS TO MILITARY COUP DE TAT!

Interim National Government is anathema to civil administration and very offensive to the sensibilities of modern democracy. 

It is an aberration and counterproductive to the tenets of the dogma of "government of the people, for the people and by the people"!

The obnoxious terminology popped up during the military occupation of Nigeria when some two army officers tried to outsmart each other in their quest in hierarchy for the topmost position though they both rose through the ranks by masterminding and successfully executing 11 military coup d’état between 1966-1993!

Generals Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and Sani Abacha were two inseparable accomplices who schemed their achievements in the army with such accurate precision and neither of them could outsmart the other.

When babangida became the Head of State he strategically assumed the title of military president to boost his ego in the believe that he would command better respect and greater executive powers to subdue any opposition but he was soon to be proved wrong.  At the peak of his military presidency he got so swollen-headed and power-drunk that he reneged, not less than five times on promises of hand-over date to the civil population.

Babangida forgot all about his partner in crime who watched him from a safe distance while the masses dubbed him as "Maradona" (a very popular football dribbler), due to several unfulfilled promises.

Sani abacha was very clever to solicit support from other ambitious military officers who put pressure on the "Maradona" to step aside to avoid any bloodshed and being overwhelmed, reluctantly stepped aside with a view that he could return some day to complete his tenure of office!

 But Babangida wasted no time to fill his exit with a civilian captain of industry in the person of Chief Ernest Shonekan whom he decorated with the title of HEAD OF INTERIM NATIONAL GOVERNMENT (ING), just for the sinister purpose of depriving his old time accomplice from sitting on the "throne"! 

The ING lasted from 26th of August 1993 to 17th November 1993 a short period of 82 days and Abacha took over in a bloodless coup and but for his untimely death in June 1998, maybe the military would have remained in Nigeria forever?

DSS SHOULD TREAD SOFTLY TO AVOID OVERHEATING THE POLITY!

The Directorate of State Security has alleged that there was a plot to install an INTERIM NATIONAL GOVERNMENT in Nigeria following controversies respect of the outcome of the presidential elections which has favoured the All Progressives Congress ruling government.

The DSS says that it has identified some politicians behind the plot and some key players planning the ING in the country. He described their plans as an aberration that could undermined civil rule and plunged the country into an avoidable crisis.

Spokesperson of the DSS described the suspects as entrenched interests who have mysterious plans to set aside the constitution and undermine civil administration. He also said that this posture of those enemies of Nigeria was unacceptable and illegality to the nation's democracy and the peace-loving citizens of Nigeria especially when the elections were virtually peaceful in the most parts of the country. Those political actors according to the DSS spokesman had held several meetings where they planned to sponsor violent protests in major cities across Nigeria for the purpose of invoking declaration of state of emergency. 

He also claimed that the enemies of State had also obtained frivolous Court injunctions to forestall the inauguration of the new executive administrations and legislative houses at Federal and State levels.

THREAT TO THE NASCENT DEMOCRACY OF NIGERIA IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO POLITICAL DISAGREEMENTS!

Citizens of Nigeria have fundamental rights to protest against unpopular actions of government but it has to be done in lawful manner. Agitation for an INTERIM NATIONAL GOVERNMENT is not the solution to the current disagreements on election outcomes. 

Definitely in any election there shall be winners and losers, It is good for those who are victorious to count their success at the polls as opportunity to serve their nation and not as a laurels if they have good intentions.

 Likewise, losers should not become bitter to the extent of wanting to cause disaffection among all people and create an atmosphere for bloodletting.

The DSS has enjoined stakeholders to be watchful and conscious to avoid being used as instruments to subvert peace and stability of the Nation and had promised to take decisive and necessary legal steps against those misguided elements to frustrate their obnoxious intentions.

The government agency avows full support for the Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces and commitment to hitch- free hand over and assiduously support the Presidential Transition Council and other related bodies in the States to ensure that all activities towards the inauguration of a new president on the 29th May 2023 was seamless. 

The DSS also called on the JUDICIARY, CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS (CSOs), and THE MEDIA to be mindful of the antics of the saboteurs.

Well said but solution do all  agitations remain in the  POPULAR REFERENDUM OF THE CITIZENS that will usher in a PARLIAMENTARY UNICAMERAL SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT and create opportunities for  grassroots participation in government as PARLIAMENTARIANS who will PRODUCE A PRIME MINISTER in an election that will rancour-free and cost-effective!

 Nigerians reject the type of election where presidential candidates had to pay NGN100 million naira as intention fee to climb the highest seat of government in the country.

It is time for Nigeria present administration to do the right thing to avoid any form of calamity. DEFINITELY VIOLENCE IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO NIGERIA'S CURRENT IMBROGLIO! “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is reproach to all people.” (Prov 14:34).

MUST NIGERIA BE SET ON FIRE BECAUSE ATIKU LOST AGAIN?

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a Godly Perspective.

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 12.NO 500. 12th March 2023.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

MUST NIGERIA BE SET ON FIRE BECAUSE ATIKU LOST AGAIN?

[THE 500TH EDITION IN NINE YEARS SEVEN MONTHS - HURRAY!!!!!]

A plethora of street protests have greeted the electorate's choice of Ahmed Tinubu as the next and LAST PRESIDENT of the most wasteful and corrupt country of the world!

 At the head of the streets rabble-rousers was 76-year-old Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who refused to believe or accept that he was not destined to rule this nation as president.

Gratitude goes to the Almighty God who controls the affairs of men as the Supreme Owner of the Heaven and Earth; otherwise Nigeria would have been on fire by now because though the desperate loser promised to APPEAL TO GOD, he has reneged to lead street protests!

ATIKU HAS LOST FIVE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS FROM 2007-2023!

 Atiku and his Party have subtly levelled allegations of rigging, electoral malpractices and manipulations against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and its Chairman, called for his immediate resignation and an outright cancelation of the entire electoral process!

Nigerian politicians will always blame all negativities in respect of bad governance and maladministration on everybody else except themselves. 

The recently concluded Presidential and National Assembly Legislative election is generating so much furore among the failed Parties across the Nation while the blame game and aspersions rest heavily on the shoulders of the ruling government, ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC),  INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION (INEC), and those whom they regard as THE OPPONENTS !

They are pointing accusing fingers especially at the electoral umpire but falling short of saying that it had been bought over by the ruling government and outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari, the tired Major General.

 SECURITY AGENCIES NEED TO IDENTIFY DELIBERATE ACTS OF SABOTAGE AGAINST THE ELECTORAL UMPIRE WHICH HAD BEEN IN CHARGED SINCE 2015!

1) Who sabotaged INEC logistic plans especially in respect of transportation and delivery of all electoral materials to over 176,000 designated Polling units across the Nation?

2) PDP was aware of INEC'S plan to conduct a very successful election simultaneously in all the polling centres in one day, commence collation immediately into the next day and announce results all within 48  to 72 hours but was determined to disrupt the smooth process because a postponement would offer opportunity for further clandestine strategies! PDP has been adjudged as professional MASTER RIGGERS! ( Courtesy four- time late Deputy Senate President and PDP Chieftain IBRAHIM MANTU; who was forced to confess their sins when he became "BORN AGAIN" before his  demise)!

3) Who started crying foul from the very first day of election if not Atiku Abubakar and the PDP who quickly made inciting statements and castigated the electoral umpire officials by raising dusts over late. arrivals of INEC officials and electoral materials, including the BIMODAL ELECTRONIC MACHINES etc! It was no doubt a premeditated plan to scuttle the entire process because Atiku saw the handwriting on the wall!

4) They were so quick to make allegations while the electoral umpire made efforts to rectify all the issues of glitches that were raised and correct anomalies.

5)  It was the Civic duty for all politicians and patriotic citizens to ensure success of the electoral process instead of sabotaging the system but from all indications it has been proved that PDP had ulterior motive and agenda to scuttle the entire electoral process!

6) In spite of the fact that they did deliberate damages throughout the entire process they still cried FOUL which makes them suspect in the entire imbroglio.

7)  Although petitions by all bad losers especially PDP and Labour have inundated the courts but notwithstanding, the desperate political jobbers who MUST be in position of authority by fire and by thunder were drumming "beats of war" ceaselessly!

IT WAS HIGH TIME NIGERIAN POLITICIANS FACTORED GOD INTO THEIR ACTIVITIES FOR THE NATION TO OVER COME ALL NEGATIVITIES?

We celebrate the 500th Edition of the Zion B-BC Newsletter today 12th March 2023. The title of the first edition which was published on 18th August 2013 was: "CONSCIOUSNESS OF GOD"!

 Please find below, some excerpts of the publication and keep them as Memento.

Consciousness of God:

Beloved, do you have a spiritual consciousness of the existence of God?

Whether your answer is yes or no, the fact remains that God exists as a Spiritual Person who possesses the ultimate and sovereign power over all creation, organic and in-organic, both in Heaven and on Earth.

The very first verse of the Bible states that, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth,” and in verse twenty-seven; “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Chapters one  and two of the Book of Genesis is replete of the account of creation and God’s first commandment which was disobeyed by Adam in Chapter three and resulted in the fall of man from grace to grass!

If you are conscious of the existence of God and you have accepted His son Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Saviour, then you are in a position of a cordial relationship with Him. It is written, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [II Cor. 5: 17]; meaning that God in His infinite mercies terminates the ‘old man’ of sin and replaces him with the ‘new man’, the Lord Jesus Christ, the saviour of the world. 

However, certain attitudes of man can still disqualify or alienate him from God’s holy presence. For instance, a constant life of iniquity, in the midst of a carnal world; [Isa.6:5, cp. V.1-4 and 6-8], must be shunned because the LORD, in grace, requires that none should perish, ‘…..but that all should come to repentance.’ [II Pet.3: 9].

You too can be saved and become a good vessel in the Hand of God like Prophet Isaiah, if only, you will acknowledge your unclean status, confess and be saved.[Rom.10:9-10].

Take this step of faith today and watch out for the next Zion B-BC weekly Newsletter as we, (the Holy Spirit and I), guide you into God’s Presence, for divine revelations, visitations and favours. Amen. I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon. Resident Pastor and Editor.

TINUBU HAS BEEN DIVINELY ASSIGNED TO TRANSIT NIGERIA FROM A PRESIDENTIAL TO A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM WITHIN SIX MONTHS IN OFFICE HALLELUJAH!

Atiku Abubakar and all patriotic Nigerians should join ranks with him to eliminate all forms of insecurity, bloodshed, destruction of lives and properties that have plagued this Giant of Africa since independence!

Unicameral Parliamentary System of Government will afford everyone from the grassroots to have a stake in the governance of this great nation of Nigeria. Let us all remember that we have no other country We can call ours except this nation where every citizen is FIRST CLASS! God bless Nigeria.

IS HADI SIRIKA OF KATSINA OBSESSED TO OWN NIGERIA AIR?

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a Godly Perspective.

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 12.NO 502. 26th March 2023.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

IS HADI SIRIKA OF KATSINA OBSESSED TO OWN NIGERIA AIR?

Outgoing Minister of Aviation Hadi Sirika will stop at nothing to possess the proposed Nigeria Air national carrier by proxy especially with the succinct support of his godfather, Major General President Muhammadu Buhari, as the icing on the cake of eight years of being a cabinet minister!

For seven consecutive years, Hadi Sirika had consistently pushed for the commissioning of a new air carrier for Nigeria with diligent professionalism considering the fact that in the past 20 years, Nigeria could not boast of a national air carrier!

Nigeria Airways was the flagship national air carrier of the Federal Republic which operated for 44 years (1959-2003 ), but became moribund due to so many factors prominent among which was maladministration. 

During ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo's tenure, a renowned international aeronautic business man Richard Branson was contracted to float another national air carrier christened Virgin Nigeria. Operations started earnestly in June 2005 and lasted till September 2012 when its operation terminated for reason of breach of contract! Ordinarily Hadi Sirika could be classified as a patriot who believed in an evolving economy most importantly in the Aviation Industry which he vouched would contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to him the new investment would facilitate hospitality, tourism, growth, development of the Nigerian agricultural sector and also create jobs around the Agro Cargo Terminals.

Other benefits of the new national air carrier would include reduced capital flight from Nigeria; gain the optimal Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) and Single African Air Transportation Market (SAATM) and develop an aviation hub. 

WILL THIS LAST DESPERATE ATTEMPT BY HADI SIRIKA TO FLOAT A NATIONAL AIR CARRIER FOR NIGERIA SUCCEED?

 

Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), have jointly accused Hadi Sirika of single-handedly chosen Ethiopian Airlines (ET), as the sole partner in the new venture of Nigeria Air through a pseudo Transaction Adviser for the transaction which was incorporated in March 2022. They also alleged that the Aviation Minister secured an Air Transport Licence which did not pass through normal security clearance of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA)! Following a civil litigation which challenged the propriety, necessity and desperation of the Minister, his autocratic order of December 2022 as take-off month had to be cancelled in conformity to an earlier judgment in November which ordered all parties to maintain status quo till 16th January 2023!  According to AON, the new contract favored Ethiopian Airlines which would own dominant shares in the deal to the detriment of indigenous operators who have vehemently rejected the unscrupulous contract as unacceptable!

WILL AIRLINE OPERATORS  SUCCEED TO BLOCK THE AVIATION MINISTER AT THE COURTS?

We have it on good authority that on 15th and 24th November 2022 respectively, a Federal High Court in Lagos

1. Granted the plaintiffs an interim injunction restraining the Federal Government and Ethiopian Airlines from proceeding with the establishment of Nigeria Air Limited and

2. Stopped the establishment of the proposed national carrier - Nigeria Air by the Federal Government. 

The Judge re-ordered the Federal Government and domestic airlines which petitioned the courts to maintain status quo in their suit relating to the establishment of the new airline, until February 2023.

He made the order pending the determination of the suit filed by Registered Trustees of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), and five others in the Aviation Industry.  The Court was informed that the project lacked transparency on funding and also zero consideration for local operators and national interest because the new Nigeria Air has USD$250 million dollars startup budget of which the Federal Government would only contribute USD$12.5 million dollars in line with its 5% share in the proposed new home-based carrier. And whereas no concrete statement was made in respect of who possessed the balance bulk shares!

Would the 95% be shared between Hadi Sirika and Ethiopian Airline (ET)?

NIGERIA AIR WILL FLY BEFORE MAY 29 ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

In spite of all the controversies, litigations suspicions, allegations etc, Hadi Sirika still boasted that the Nigeria Air aircraft would be in the air before 29th May 2023 departure date of himself and his boss!

He made the disclosure “sub judice” at a National Aviation Stakeholders Forum 2023 in Abuja on Thursday 23rd March 2023 in spite of the fact that all matters relating to the project were still in court under litigation!

According to him, negotiations and meetings with Ethiopian Airlines Group Consortium and the Federal Government were ongoing, and that the Federal Executive Council (FEC), approval of the full business case was being sought. 

He also disclosed that operation of local and international flights would commence before 29th May 2023, in spite of the fact that the Federal Ministry of Aviation could not deploy every necessary step to vacate the order which has stopped the ongoing project towards the establishment of the national airline since November 2022.

THE ROLE OF ABUJA- BASED TRANSACTION ADVISOR HAND-PICKED BY AVIATION MINISTER!

An Abuja-based Transaction Adviser on the new national airline, one Tillman Gabriel who was allegedly linked to Hadi Sirika, had, in an advertorial made the following statements to the public in respect of the Nigeria Air transaction:

"..... Following a transparent bidding and decision process managed under the private-public partnership (PPP), Federal Government has issued a clear ownership structure including the leading African Airline with a secured startup budget which gives Nigeria Air a solid financial foundation."

IN SPITE OF HADI SIRIKA'S OBSESSION, CAN A DEBT-RIDDEN NIGERIA AFFORD THE LUXURY OF A NEW AIRLINE IN THE TWILIGHT OF BUHARI'S EXIT FROM OFFICE? HIS PREDECESSORS IN OFFICE: ‘FEMI FANI-KAYODE AND STELLA ODUAH ARE STILL IN COURT TO PROVE THEIR INNOCENCE IN CASES OF OFFICIAL CORRUPTION FILED AGAINST THEM BY THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION (EFCC)!

The answer is NO! But there's one thing you can't take away from Hadi Sirika, he is an addicted pilot who will always love to fly with the KITES in the air. 

Flying is the only language he understands, his hobby and only pastime! He studied and became a professional pilot early in life! His soul is totally sold to the addiction and Politics is just by the way!

However our advice to him is to leave the poor taxpayers of this nation alone and not involve them in his antics! Nigeria is bigger ONE ADDICTED FLIER!

His predecessors in office: ‘Femi Fani Kayode and Stella Oduah are still in court to prove their innocence in cases of official corruption filed against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)!
