The National Publicity Secretary
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi has claimed that
Senator David Mark once asked President Goodluck Jonathan to choose between the
National Assembly and former Pension boss, Abdulrasheed Maina.
According to him, Jonathan was so
silent even when Maina refused to answer the summon of the lawmakers following
some allegations of corruption practices.
Abdullahi said Maina was part of
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s legacy.
He told Punch, “What is happening
is that yes, the President did not blame PDP for Maina’s return to office, but
Maina is part of the legacy left behind by the PDP.
“So , if you mention Maina, you
must mention the PDP so that people don’t forget that Maina is one of the
legacies left behind by the PDP. But his finding his way back into service is
our responsibility.
“Like I said , when this issue
happened, the crime that this gentleman is presumed to have committed was
committed under a different dispensation, a different political party and we
have not forgotten that even when he was accused of committing this offence, he
was going around town in a convoy of vehicles with security details.
“He refused to answer to the
summons by the National Assembly until the then Senate President, David Mark,
declared at a plenary that the then President Goodluck Jonathan should choose
between Maina and the National Assembly.
“We should not behave as if this
thing does not have a background or that it started yesterday. Whether it is
corruption or incompetence, or whatever you call it, they are very resilient.”
Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi should be ashamed of himself, we are talking about corruption here and he is talking about party affiliation. You accepted that Maina coming back to government through the back door is your resposibity. What have done since the issue emerged? That is the question that is begging for answers.
ReplyDeleteBolaji lacks the moral standing to be addressed as a spokesman. He is talking total rubbish.
