SOME OF THE MANY UNRESOLVED SECURITY AND FRAUDULENT ISSUES

Posted by oluyinka olusile on May 17, 2009 at 9:58pm
If one should start counting the many unresolved issues plaguing the Nigerian nation, space would not be enough to exhaust it. They ranged from political assassinations, to frauds by some of the past leaders and (especially) serving State Governors and Ministers of the Federal Republic. It also includes vindictiveness in the heart of our leaders and mundane things they do.Let us take few of them: The assassination of Dele Giwa; the assassination of Dikibo; the assassination of Rewane; the assassination of Bola Ige, etc; the allegation that Vice President Jonathan Goodluck retains native doctor Sobowei as his spiritual consultant; the same native doctor was paid N800million to influence Governor Akpabio who awarded him a N7billion road contract without due process; the Governor awarded Ibom Tropicana Centre at N33billion when it actually would have cost about N7billion as represented by Abuja Water Parks Resource that has more facilities, including a Golf Course; the loot by former IGP Tafa Balogun; etc.A governor’s brother went to US Embassy with N1billion in his submitted bank account statement for Visa and when the EFCC was called in, instead of taking advantage, decided to shield who the governor and his brother are; EFCC has refused to name those in Halliburton bribery scandal just as its Chairman has refused to name the first-term governor that bought N1billion estate in Abuja shortly after assuming office; she has also refused to name those governors that push and use drugs; etc.The Press should realize that we depend on them now and therefore should try to help inform the public properly.
