THE DEFECTIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS CHANGE OF BATON!

Buhari's twilight contracts and appointments have garnered negative public comments/outcries and continued to hit headlines of major newspapers in Nigeria and the Disapora, since he finally returned from his two-week visit to London for King Charles III Coronation and Dentist appointment, (3rd-16th, 2023), all at the Taxpayers doorstep!

2) Buhari clears over 40 pending memos, appoints agency.

The Independent Newspaper front page publication of Sunday 28th May 2023, titled: "CACOL Cautions FG, Outgoing Govs On Last Minute Contracts, Appropriations' and credited to Ejikeme Omenazu, reported that Chairman of the NGO, Centre for Anti-corruption and Open Leadership, Mr. 'Debo Adeniran, expressed reservations at the flagrant manner outgoing administrations both at the Federal and State levels have been awarding contracts. The Chairman also disclosed that outgoing administrators of various administrations across geo-political zones had made appointments into sensitive positions and presented supplementary budgets almost at the eve of the expiration of their tenures! HE also condemned the recent actions by the outgoing officials, last-minute rush to award contracts, sign new laws and make new appointments into key positions without due process. 

CACOL accused the Federal government especially for announcing the award of multi-million naira contract for various ministries which amounted to a whopping sum of  NGN 327.34billion naira even at its 10th May 2023, weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC), Meeting.

Beneficiary Ministries include transportation, Sports, Aviation, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Works including ongoing projects, IRS buildings in Abuja and Port-Harcourt. The report claimed that out-going State Governors have awarded suspicious similar contracts and signed new bills into law! The outgoing Taraba State Governor Darius Ishiaku was said to have commissioned an uncompleted 500 Units Housing Estate for civil servants ( contracted since 2017) and paid upfront all bills connected to the "Estate" named after him! Previously, he was reported to have approved 2 billion naira for the purchase of cars for himself his deputy and their wives.

Delta State was not left out in the publication which claimed that the outgoing Governor Ifeanyi Okowa (and PDP's Vice Presidential Candidate at the February 2023 Presidential Elections), recently presented a NGN71 billion naira supplementary budget to the State House of Assembly, 14 days to the expiration of his two terms tenure. This supplementary budget was made up of NGN5.6 billion naira in Recurrent Expenditure and NGN65.5 billion naira in Capital Expenditure!

PLEASE FIND BELOW THE DAILY POST PUBLICATION OF 24TH MAY,2023, TITLED: "BUHARI'S AVIATION MINISTER, SIRIKA UNDER FIRE OVER LAST-MINUTE APPOINTMENTS IN FAAN, NAMA." BY 'SEUN OPEJOBI.

The Centre for Social Change and Democracy (CSD), has criticised the recent appointment spree in the Federal Ministry of Aviation by its Minister Captain Hadi Sirika. The centre alleged that the appointees are cronies of the minister who have no business occupying such positions. 

It also called for a thorough investigation of the appointments, employments, and awards of contract in the aviation sector insisting that the minister had to explain how funds budgeted for the Nigeria Air project were utilized.

In a statement signed by its Executive Director Edward Abakpa, the Center claimed the appointments are the last- ditch attempt by Sirika to reward his loyalists who will in turn sustain the corruption looting and high-handedness he allegedly entrenched in the aviation sector. Recall that Sirika recently approved the appointment of Kabir Yusuf Mohammed as the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). Sirika also named Engr A Tayib Odunowo as the substantive Managing Director/CEO of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA).

About 30 others were either handed fresh appointments or redeployed with just a few days to the end of Sirika's tenure as Minister.

Abakpa noted that the new FAAN and NAMA bosses are not qualified for the roles adding that they are beneficiaries of Sirika's power play. 

"Sirika negates the central mystique of the Buhari Administration, especially the anti-corruption fight. While the minister's shady skills aren’t new, they reached a new level with the new appointment, Abakpa claimed.

The Centre alleged that "Sirika is building obstacles and creating organizational confusion for the incoming administration. His actions have taken the ministry backwards. The minister's direct control resulted in transactional rather than functional operation of the agencies, thereby impeding their progress.

"Sirika through his micro-management activities has led to the current state of the sector.

 He has woefully failed in his duties and deserves a certificate for this. He must not cause further wreckage for 'Bola Tinubu.

"It is on this note that we are calling for a thorough investigation of those appointments, employment, awards of contracts and promotion within the aviation sector. Sirika must explain to the world how funds budgeted for the Nigeria Air project have been expended.

"He should also explain how his cronies got to the pinnacle of the aviation sector without the requisite qualifications. Failure by the Tinubu Government to probe these appointments will throw the country into monumental chaos and mark a return to the dark ages when the airwaves were unsafe for people to fly anywhere in the country."

HADI SIRIKA DISOBEYS COURT ORDER OVER "NIGERIA AIR" - EXIBITED HIGHEST FORM OF OFFICIAL IMPUNITY TO DEBUT AIR FLIGHT TO ABUJA - FRIDAY 26TH MAY 2023, WHILE BUHARI LOOKED THE OTHER WAY!

Outgoing Minister of Aviation Hadi sirika made sure his boast that Nigeria Air aircraft would be in the air before 29th May 2023, the departure date of himself and his boss in spite of the fact that there was a court injunction forbidding him to carry out such action. 

He made the disclosure "sub-judice" at the 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 and under litigation. 

The first aircraft of Nigeria Air landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Friday afternoon 26th May 20 23 and in a Tweet on that day Hadi Abu bakr Sirika said: "We are here. To Almighty God be all the glory. It has been a very long, tedious, daunting and difficult path. We thank everyone for the support. This by the will of God will be for us and generations to come. Ya Allah make it beneficial for our country and humanity."

WILL BUHARI ADMINISTRATION GET AWAY WITH THESE ASSAULTS ON THE PEOPLE AND THEIR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS?

Tinubu MUST "right all wrongs, reverse all the FIRE BRIGADE contracts, illegal contracts, spurious promotions etc, and set in motion the conducive political atmosphere for UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF HIS INAUGURATION ACCORDING TO DIVINE MANDATE!

Tinubu must not lose a life-time opportunity to redeem his image as an addicted Human Rights Activist and Crusader!

He MUST HIT THE GROUND RUNNING FROM THE EAGLE SQUARE AND PROVE ALL OF US RIGHT IN RESPECT OF HIS TRUE IDENTITY AS A COMMITED DEMOCRAT!

"A stitch in time saves nine!"
