FALLOUT OF OBASANJO’S LETTER: EFCC ARREST BABACHAIR LAWAL
He said Buhari has come out more glaringly than most of us thought we knew about him, stating further that, one is nepotic deployment bordering on clannishness and inability to bring discipline to bear on errant members of his nepotic court.
‘This has grave consequences on performance of his government to the detriment of the nation. It would appear that national interest was being sacrificed on the altar of nepotic interest. What does one make of a case like that of Maina: collusion, condonation, ineptitude, incompetence, dereliction of responsibility or kinship and friendship on the part of those who should have taken visible and deterrent disciplinary action? ’he stated
‘ How many similar cases are buried, ignored or covered up and not yet in the glare of the media and the public? There were serious allegations of round-tripping against some inner caucus of the Presidency which would seem to have been condoned. I wonder if such actions do not amount to corruption and financial crime, then what is it? Culture of condonation and turning blind eye will cover up rather than clean up. And going to justice must be with clean hands’,Obasanjo stressed.
