Blue chip fraudsters behind P&ID judgment fund — BMO chief Akinsiju .
The Buhari Media Organisation is one of the support groups who worked for President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election in the recent presidential poll. It is the body that handles the media aspect of the support groups for the President. In this interview with TONY AKOWE, the Chairman of BMO, Niyi Akinsiju, speaks on the efforts of the President to leave behind a good legacy with regard to the nation’s development, among other issues of national interest.
To a large extent, the economy has been steadied, though certain forces that were major beneficiaries of the old order have continued to heckle the system through organised and syndicated smuggling and refusal to pay back loans collected from deposit money banks. Thankfully, President Buhari has attended to that with the amendment to the AMCON Act. I understand there’s a stampede in the elite camp of loan defaulters who collectively owe us more than N5 trillion.
The 2019 election has become a reference point in the anal of elections in Nigeria. The ruling party lost a number of states to the main opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party while the opposition also lost a number to the ruling party. These were achieved through the electoral process and election related court processes. Unlike under other administrations, the ruling party refused to intervene in the processes.
The anti-corruption war is gaining momentum. It is expected that those that are being investigated or charged to courts will allege selective prosecution. That, to me, is an expression of deficit in morality. If you had not tainted your record in service, nobody will witch-hunt you. Besides, we have seen how former governors on the platform of the ruling APC and other state actors are also being arraigned before courts of law for corruption.
It is a process that has to address degrees of application of the new minimum wage across the salary ladder. So, where the quantum of salary for grade levels one to four is agreed, the applicable percentage of increment for those on levels 5 to 16 is yet outstanding. The government had offered to commence payment of those on grade levels one to four but labour is insisting on the new pay reflecting on all the grade levels. I am hopeful this will soon be resolved.
