In a sane country, those rogue NDDC officials who appeared before the Nigerian Senate yesterday should have spent the night in police underground cell based on their own confessions of how they spent NDDC funds. The audacity of those rogues is unequalled.
Just imagine admitting spending nearly N2bn (TWO BILLION) as #COVID19 palliatives for themselves and nearly N500m to produce Nose mask for security personnel. But what followed, the charlatans left the National Assembly with police escorts and probably slept and enjoyed their nights in an Abuja 7-Star Hotel, still on public funds.
The Buhari administration will definitely earn a global Trophy on corruption by the time it is over, if what we know as the available records of monumental corruption, being perpetrated by operatives of the Buhari’s regime, are to be considered.
How can an Interim Management Committee of a commission that has not successfully completed any visible project spend over N80bn of public funds on these frivolous expenses.
From the day Buhari appointed that comic character from Akwa Ibom State as the Niger-Delta Ministry’s Minister, i know the Commission may end up being auctioned on OLX before his tenure is over. Now, the results are unfolding.
Who will wake this Sleeping General up please?
