#CAMPAIGN FOR REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS! [NO.67]. –DR. DAVID OLUFON.  27th April, 2023.

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!
