ZION B-BC
NEWSLETTER.
A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 12. NO 518. 16th July, 2023.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!
DIARCHY WILL NO LONGER WORK IN NIGERIA - TINUBU MUST NOT IDOLIZE SOLDIERS.
Diarchy is a government jointly ruled by military and civilian components. From the first and second military coups, January/ July 1966 and up to the end of the "Biafra War" in January 1970, Nigerian soldiers dominated the entire landscape of the country by totally usurping all functions of democratic values and governance!
They also deprived citizens of their inalienable fundamental human rights!
In a warning to Mr. Tinubu (Zion B-BC Newsletter publication of 7th April 2023. Volume 12 No.508, We specifically emphasize that downtrodden Nigerians can hardly wait for Monday 29th May 2023 to bid good riddance to the last of all the military merchants who have overstayed their welcome and who for 57 years (1966 - 2023, practically turned the country into a BEGGAR NATION through mismanagement of all natural endowments and deliberate failure to develop human capital into full potential!
Abdusalam who took over following the demise of General Sani Abacha handed over to retired old general Olusegun Obasanjo who tried to perpetrate himself for a third term of four years (2007-2011) but was resisted by the Citizens!
And another military general Buhari during his Eight-year tenure decided to perpetuate his chief security officers in office contrary to the constitution and now that he has successfully installed a surrogate as civilian president, it has manifest that his clandestine plan is still in place. Buhari kept all Service Chiefs whom he appointed from 2015-2021 in spite of public outcry while citizens suffered degradation and insecurity through atrocities by Boko Haram terrorists!
And eventually when they were retired, it was with pomp, pageantry and grandeur send forth with many royalty severance packages of humongous allowances plus foreign appointments as ambassadors in oversea countries!
MR. TINUBU HAS FOLLOWED SUIT BY DISHING OUTRAGEOUS SEVERANCE BOOTIES FOR THE RECENTLY RETIRED SECURITY CHIEFS!
Please find below a very detailed analysis of another Tinubu's confused decisions since he increased the Citizens sufferings from the day of his inaugural goof of "removing subsidy before providing palliatives" – which if reversed should have portrayed him as an astute manager of the economy!
Whistler.ng like other media reports has succinctly put the infuriating mis-management of BORROWED FUNDS by Tinubu in this format:
"Nigeria to Spend N3bn on Severance Package for Ex-Service Chiefs, Retired Generals Annually."By Martins Ayotunde, Kasarahchi Aniagolu On Jul 5, 2023
"The retirement benefits of the newly replaced service chiefs and other senior military officers compulsorily retired following the appointment of their juniors as service chiefs will cost Nigerians over three billion naira annually, findings by THE WHISTLER have shown.
"An analysis of the combined costs of their emoluments and benefits, asides from pension, of the four outgoing service chiefs including the Chief of Defence, General Lucky Irabor; Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant Colonel Farouq Yahaya; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Isiaka Amao revealed that the retired service chiefs will benefit about N345,080,000 annually which includes the annual salaries of personnel attached to them, vehicle purchases and healthcare cost.
"Other military generals with seniority on commission above that of NDA Regular Course 39 who were forced to retire will also get vehicles, health, and personal staff.
"The over 100 affected senior officers will cost the country over N2,824,000,000 every year asides from their monthly pension.
"Details of the juicy emoluments of the affected officers first became public on Saturday following a Punch report which cited The Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service for Officers of the Armed Forces of Nigeria 2017 (revised) which listed the benefits of the retired Generals upon leaving the respective services.
"According to the secret document, benefits of a retiring CDS and service chiefs include one bulletproof SUV or equivalent vehicle to be maintained by the service and to be replaced every four years; two Peugeot 508 cars or equivalent backup vehicles; and five domestic aides made up of two service cooks, two stewards, and a civilian gardener.
"Each of them is also entitled to an Aide-de-Camp/security officer; special assistant of a lieutenant/captain or equivalent, or personal assistant of the rank of warrant officer or equivalent; and nine standard guards of soldiers.
"They are also entitled to three service drivers; one service orderly; escorts to be provided by the appropriate military units/formations as the need arises; and free medical cover in Nigeria and abroad to the tune of $20,000 yearly.
"Other military generals forced into retirement are individually entitled to one Peugeot 508, a cook, a steward, two residential guards, one service orderly, one service driver, and free medicals in Nigeria and abroad to the tune of $15,000 per year. These officers include Major Generals and equivalents in the Navy and Air Force.
"Ex-service chiefs are entitled to a total of 21 staff each drawn from their respective military formation (i.e. Army, Navy, or Airforce) and one civilian staff, they can also request escorts to be provided by the appropriate military units/formations as the need arises.
"The 21 personal staff comprises 1 orderly, 1 Aide-de-camp, 1 Special Assistant, 1 Personal Assistant, 3 Service Drivers, 9 standard guards of soldiers as well as 5 domestic staff (2 service cooks, 2 stewards, and 1 civilian gardener). The HTACOS document also specified the rank of some of the aides to be provided for the ex-service chiefs.
TOTAL COSTS
'A summation of all the costs shows that each retired service chief will cost the country N24,120,000 in personnel and staff, N46,750,000 in vehicles and another 15,400,000 naira in medicals. This gives a total of N86, 270,000 per service chief. The four of them will cost the country N345, 080,000 yearly.
"Retired generals will take N7,440,000 in personnel and staff costs; N9,250,000 in vehicles and N11,550,000 in medicals annually which gives a total of N28,240,000 naira. 100 retired generals will cost the country N2, 824,000,000 naira every year.
"Subsequently, all the newly retired military officials will cost the Federal Government a total of N3, 169,080,000 in combined costs yearly."
TINUBU'S SELF-INFLITED FINANCIAL TRAVAIL HAS EXPOSED THE FACT THAT HE WASN'T PREPARED FOR PRESIDENCY!
In addition to the soldiers severance remuneration, all governors, legislators and local government chairmen who were not re-elected are also in the wing to collect humongous severance allowances! It is true that the National Assembly has rubber-stamped the NGN500 billion naira which Tinubu requested for palliatives in respect of fuel subsidy removal but no action has commenced on how to disburse the said amount because he does not want the money to go into “wrong hands"! And in the meantime the mass sufferings continue unabated because there is no National Register of 100million dimensionally- poor Nigerians to be deployed for the immediate CASH TRANSFER of N8, 000 naira per month for six months for family of FIVE!
In addition to the confusion, USD $800 million dollars loan which has been granted to the previous administration is to be disbursed according to specifications by the lender unlike the NGN500 billion loan which NGN 70 billion naira was already allocated to NASS!
According to available statistics from Nigeria bureau of statistics NBS household expenditures is in the neighbourhood of NGN130.077, 621billion naira per month while inflation has soared to, 22.4%!
MR. PRESIDENT SHOULD BE AFRAID OF CITIZENS COUP DE TAT AND NOT THE MILITARY!
The citizens are at their highest point of resilience and can no longer absorb any more sufferings! Because of the Hosehold expenses measure unguarded utterances of Mr. Tinubu who decided to PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE through his unpreparedness for leadership in governance at the level of PRESIDENCY!
The TRUTH must be told that LAGOS STATE IS NOT NIGERIA but only one of the 36 States. All those accolades that have been adduced to him as having developed Lagos into a mega cosmopolitan and business destination on the West African Coast is balderdash!
The whole world can see the unpreparedness of this man WHO LEFT OFFICE OVER 15 YEARS AGO AND HAS REMAINED ON THE SIDELINE EVER SINCE
and how he has messed up the economy and expect that it should be business as usual!
His style of governance is unacceptable to the masses of this nation. What he should be doing right now is to create more employment for the people in the AGRICULTURAL SECTOR because it is the most viable of all the others. And whereas HE IS SHOPPING FOR MORE TAXES! We have it on good authority that import tax has astronomically increased to 80% and this policy will definitely affect importation of fertilizers and all other agricultural inputs!
A hungry man is an angry man! Tinubu on his return from Kenya Africa Union meeting must sponsor the Referendum Bill for a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT to avert the dangers that are looming ahead. A word is enough for the wise!
