Abdulrasaq Olaosebikan: Who is leaking official documents from Abba Kyari’s office
One that many Nigerians will not forget in a hurry is the raid on the home and library of Chief Obafemi Awolowo in Ikenne, Ogun State. Later chronicles of Nigeria’s government and politics described some of those plots to discredit the disciplined and focused General Buhari and Idiagbon’s government as the handiwork of Fifth Columnists.
Since the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari took office in 2015, Nigerians have witnessed a number of official documents purportedly leaked from the office of the Chief of Staff to the President, Alhaji Abba Kyari. What can’t be denied is that the Chief of Staff’s office is the recurring decimal in all the leaks.
In 2017, the former Minister of State, Petroleum Resources, Mr Emmanuel Kachikwu had written President Buhari following insubordination and illegal award of contracts at state-owned oil company, NNPC under the leadership of Dr. Maikanti Baru. But Mr Kachikwu is one of many to have suffered similar fate. In 2018, the political differences between Senator Shehu Sani and Governor Nasir El-Rufai was at an all-time high and there was a lot of back and forth in the media but none topped the leaked letter by Governor El-Rufai to President Buhari.
The letter was signed by Mr Kyari was titled: ‘RE: Budgeted FIRS Collection And Actual Collections’ sought to probe Mr Fowler’s competence and to also suggest that he had failed in his role improve revenue collection when in the real sense, Mr Fowler was breaking records for revenue collection especially non-oil revenue collection.
The former Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Ekanem Oyo-Ita was not spared. Following the controversial reinstatement and posting of the embattled former chairman of the Pension Reforms Commission, Abdulrasheed Maina, Mrs Oyo-Ita wrote a letter to clear the air.
