BAT VANAGUARD CONVENER OLOFIN URGES TINUBU TO AUDIT ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, REVISIT OROSANYE REPORT
Sequel to the reality of the unsavory present economic outlook of our dear Country Nigeria, the Convener of BAT Vanguard, Engr. Sola Olofin has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR and C -in – C to hearken to the calls of eminent and concerned Nigerians who are demanding the probe of some officials of the immediate past Government.
This was contained in a statement signed by him and made available to newsmen in Abuja.
In his words, “there is a compelling need to probe/audit all the MDAs and some individuals who have been fingered in the audacious and scandalous sleaze that marred the administration of Former President Muhammadu Buhari. The flurry of revelations emanating from the investigations carried out by anti-corruption agencies of the wanton looting and stealing of Nigeria’s commonwealth by these unpatriotic individuals is one that should be further escalated, thoroughly and holistically investigated”.
“The few arrests and probe made by the past administration and the mind-boggling findings make this call for further probe an inevitable necessity. Or how would one explain that just a single official of government stole as much as N109 billion? Or that trillions of Naira was siphoned by “subsidy cabal” with the active connivance of the Central Bank of Nigeria, or the arrest and probe of a Minister of Power who allegedly stole N22 billion, or revelations by the House of Representatives Adhoc Committee on MDAs helping themselves with Government resources upwards of N8 trillion and so on and so forth”.
Olofin stated further that “all these revelations are disheartening and only a pointer to the fact that Mr. President needs to order a total audit of Government agencies as we have only just seen the surface. The audit will enable Federal Government recover looted funds back to Government purse which will greatly assist in the implementation of the “Renewed Hope” agenda. This call should not be misconstrued to President Tinubu probing the Buhari Administration but on the contrary and as a matter of fact be a continuation of the probe initiated by President Buhari of persons in his Government and that of President Goodluck Jonathan who helped themselves and cronies with public funds”.
“Furthermore, I am urging Mr. President to revisit the Orosanye Report on merging of some Government agencies who have over-lapping responsibilities in order to cut down the current cost of Governance before the planned review of minimum wage. It is an incontrovertible fact that there is so much wastage in Government and Mr. President will do well by first tackling and blocking all leakages, restructure the agencies of Government for greater efficiency and transparency”, the BAT Vanguard Convener added
