Osinbajo: Tinubu didn’t outsmart Buhari to emerge president – Osita Okechukwu

Osinbajo: Tinubu didn’t outsmart Buhari to emerge president – Osita Okechukwu

A founding member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former Director General of the Voice of Nigeria, VON, Osita Okechukwu, on Thursday, dismissed the claim that President Bola Tinubu outsmarted former president Muhammadu Buhari to emerge president.

Okechukwu’s remark followed claims by former presidential Special Adviser on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu, that Tinubu outsmarted Buhari to pick the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential ticket in 2022.

Ojudu said Buhari never supported his then Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo and Tinubu during the APC presidential primary election.

Reacting, Okechukwu said Ojudu’s so called disclosure was less than factual and misinformation.

In a statement he signed, the former VON DG said the true position was that “Yes there was split opinion on whether to support Tinubu or not and Buhari sided with the camp led by then Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, quoting the Holy Quran that he cannot ditch the man who stood by him through thick and thin. Rather let the delegates elect whoever is their choice at Eagle Square.”

Okechukwu maintained that there was division in Buhari’s kitchen cabinet immediately after the screening Committee headed by “our former chairman of APC, His Excellency John Oyegun was submitted. The argument centred on whether some of the twenty-three presidential aspirants including Tinubu should be disqualified following a plethora of allegations flying around.”

He said: “The only truth in Ojudu’s statement is that Buhari didn’t mobilise for any of the twenty-three aspirants not even for Senator Ahmed Lawan.

“Truly if Buhari was in support of Lawan he could have disclosed this to the APC Governors Forum who prodded him serially to tell them who to vote for. It couldn’t have been the then-national chairman of APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu to inform only the National Working Committee. The Aso Villa is the arena for such an important message.”

Group backs arrest of Elrufai’s former Finance Commissioner over alleged looted fund

The Forum for Good Governance, FFGG, has backed the arrest of former Kaduna State Commissioner of Finance and Local Government, Mohammed Bashir Sa’idu over allegations of money laundering, criminal breach of trust, and misappropriation of public funds.

DAILY POST recalls that the former Commissioner for Finance, who served under Governor Nasir Elrufai’s administration was arrested and locked up in Kaduna Correctional Centre following a petition, where he was accused of laundering N3.96 billion and misappropriating N244 million between 2015 and 2023.

Reacting in a statement by Ahmadu Ibrahim Kauru, its Director, on Thursday, the Forum for Good Governance said there was nothing wrong with his arrest, especially when the issue revolves around the looting of public funds.

The group warned that any attempt by Elrufai to interfere with the process will be resisted vehemently.

While noting that recovery of looted funds is very necessary now that Kaduna State is highly indebted, the Forum insisted that” His arrest must not be politicised because his arrest for alleged financial crime is in order.

It noted the allegations of misappropriation of funds and sale of $45 million in state-owned foreign currency at an undervalued exchange rate of N410 per dollar, instead of the parallel market rate of N498 per dollar, causing a loss of over N3.96 billion to the government

“Additionally, he is accused of failing to account for proceeds from the sale of government houses in Marafa Estate, Kaduna, amounting to approximately N244 million.

“We gathered from reports that the Kaduna State House of Assembly previously investigated Sa’idu’s financial dealings and forwarded its findings to anti-corruption agencies, including the EFCC and ICPC.” The statement further added

“We are happy that the police confirmed his arrest was not politically motivated but followed by credible allegations of financial crimes and will remain in detention as investigations continue,” it said.
