In the course of the past few weeks, our collective responsibility was again enraged and reduced to the popular Nollywood comic blockbuster, when we watched the theatrical theatre laden with allegations of corruption that were premiered and clothed with the title “fight against corruption” and perhaps, corruption fighting back.
But 5 years down the memory lane, it is becoming glaring that the scourge called corruption is becoming permanently intractable and its damaging effect can never be compared with the deadly coronavirus pandemic. One is utterly bemused, that Ibrahim Magu, who headed the anti corruption crusade is enmeshed in alleged multiple financial misappropriations.
I was disappointedly discomforted when a special adviser to the president who works in the office of the Attorney General, Mr. Abiodun Aikomo, passionately defended the A.G’s prosecutorial power, wielded against Magu, under section 174 of 1999 CFRN. Mr.
With due respect, I am of the firm view that the Justice Salami, RTA led panel does not have jurisdiction to entertain such matter, where the AG of the Federation is leveraging on his constitutional powers under section 174 of the 1999 CFRN. The whole charade called prosecution is no doubt not in public interest- as dictated by section 174 of the constitution, hence, is a mere fight of who gets what and disintegration among politricians.
The south-south region of Nigeria is the repository of major source of Nigeria’s income. It could have been developed like every other resource-dominated area in the world. Ironically, this region is the most bankrupt in terms of physical infrastructure and development. Take for example, Famigbe town, which is just a 4-min drive from Yenagoa, the capital city of Bayelsa state, the major road leading to it is wooden-made, couple with the absence of other social amenities.
