The embattled former chairman of
the Presidential Task Team (PRTT) on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina,
allegedly had plans to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), and contest
for the Borno state governorship position in 2019.
According to Daily Trust, This new development comes
following the controversy generated over Maina’s recent reinstatement into the civil
service.
The former PRTT boss had been
secretly re-absolved into government employment, and promoted to the position
of director in charge of Human Resources in the Ministry of Interior, despite
being declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Maina had been accused of a
massive pension fraud scheme amounting to more than N2billion in 2012; and upon
the recommendation of the Office of the Head of Service, had been dismissed by
the Federal Civil Service Commission.
Bring Back Our Girls co-convener,
Aisha Yesufu is also of the opinion that what Maina really wanted was to get an
8 year immunity by running for a political post in 2019.
This is a huge embarrassment to the APC government considering their clamouring for killing corruption. The interior minister and Malami should be fired to show they are really serious. Nonsense.
