The Presidency has reacted to a
letter by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), instructing the
Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, to monitor and arrest Governor of Ekiti State,
Ayodele Fayose anytime he wants to run away from the country.
Recall that the
agency in a letter signed by its Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, to the
Comptroller-General of Customs, urged the service to place the outgoing Ekiti
governor on the watch list and ensure he does not escape.
Reacting to the development,
Buhari’s Aide on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie on her Twitter page called on
Nigerians to join hands with the EFCC to ensure Fayose defends his integrity or
lack of it.
She assured Nigerians that
corruption under the Buhari administration will be defeated in high places.
Onochie wrote “It’s not just the
customs; every Nigerian should stand by EFCC so Gov. Ayo Fayose is given the
opportunity to defend his integrity or lack of it.
“Together, we will defeat
corruption in high places.”
Hmmmmm this is so bad to do this to any Nigerian in Nigeria by Nigerians. How do you know or determine that Fayose is going to want to escape? And escape or run away from what? From speculations of corruption? He's not even charged talk less of found guilty. Why don't we use our sense of respect in what we do? I'm sorry to speak like this. It's not just professional to raise this type of alert about any one at all. Yes we may be assuming that he's corrupt but we can't start to witch hunt anyone based on assumption of guilt. I'm not saying that he's innocent of corruption and I'm not saying that he's guilty but don't handle matters this way. If you suspect that Fayose may want to leave the country to avoid indictment, then arrest him before he does. Don't you have intelligence? And even if he leaves, are you saying that you can't bring him back from wherever he goes? As long as you have a solid case against him, most countries would freely release him for a proper justice system. This is also part of what the government of Buhari is supposed to fight against. It is undue embarrassment and harrassment to our citizenry. It's a crappy way to do things and it's not welcome anymore in our nation of Nigeria. As I have been saying and crying, this system of corruption fighting is a one way street. It's political in nature and can't work. Corruption can't be a one way party fight. Corruption fighting has to be systematic and broadband and anything short of that leads to failure, political witch Hunt, and waste of efforts. As long as corruption is not good, then it's not good and we can't then fight corruption with corruption. And what I'm saying, that I have been saying is that, go after every one and after every party to fight corruption. Don't discriminate nor separate but after every party member that is corrupt. There are many corrupt party members in APC as it's in PDP. There are corrupt governors in PDP as they are in APC. Would it not be more effective and supportive to go after all that are corrupt, regardless of their political party membership than just to go after some and leave some out? When we look away from some and hammer some, we are doing more damage to the system becos we are then sending a wrong message that if we are connected, then we are safe which that in itself also is corruption. So, I'm begging all Nigerians to do what is right by fighting corruption the right way and make this fight a BROADBAND fight. I'm not politically alligned to any party but nationally alligned to the country of Nigeria. That's where my interest is for, Nigeria. And this country Nigeria shall stand above all odds inJesusChristname. I never believed that General Buhari could be involved in this kind of corruption fighting becos I had always believed he's a man of honor and integrity until it's happening this way. We put u there sir on the trust that u are able to stand the test of time but we are getting confused of what's going on. We don't know if u have been bewitched but we are sure that something is wrong. If u fail to deliver, history is going to judge u and the disappointments of the youths and all Nigerians are going to speak on ur behalf. There's only this chance and u don't want to regret it if u fail to deliver. There's still time before this present term runs out, u can still do so many things to fix what's been wrong with ur governance if u REALLY want to deliver. U were trusted with power but don't blow it if it's not already blown but it is, it's still FIXABLE with the little time u have left. Thank u sir and thank u EFCC.
