The Senior Assistant to President
Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has said the President
will, in the next few days, take a decision about the controversial
reinstatement of a former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension
Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina.
Shehu said this Thursday night
when he appeared on Channel TV’s Politics Today anchored by Seun Okinbaloye.
According to him, President
Buhari has received all the reports he requested for, to enable him take a
decision but had to restrain himself from making pronouncements too early
because other arms and agencies of government were currently investigating the
matter and more revelations were made as well.
He however assured Nigerians that
the President will take a stand soon.
Shehu said: “As we said in that
statement (on Maina’s reinstatement), this is a mess we inherited; the Maina
Saga – the bribery and the sharing. N24 billion (was what) he took over on the
day he took that office. When he left, (there was) one million naira left. So,
it happened under the watch of the previous administration and that is why we
said, morally, they have no right to accuse us.
“What is the Buhari government
doing? The President has got all the reports, he is going to take a decision,
but this issue is a big one. It’s expanding and we welcome investigation by
anyone – the Senate, the House of Representatives.
“Now Maina is back home, he is
going to have his day in court.
“People just sat down and were
receiving cash from that man, knowing full well that it was the police pension
that he was sharing. People who ought to investigate him, who ought to send him
to trial, are beneficiaries of that heist.
“In the coming days, the President
will decide and all of these things will come out.”
Garba Shehu,you are all fooling yourselves not Nigerians anymore. You should be ashamed to be part of the National mess and disgrace by PMB APC lead administration. Anything PMB said will not make any sense to anybody,because he is just acting movie. APC Weak Formats.
