Oby Ezekwesili, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to man up to the several corruption scandals that have happened in his administration after the controversial reinstatement of Abdulrasheed Maina.
She said “There is no redeeming prospect in the colossal mess made by officials of the Federal Government in the MainaGate. But, at least start with full disclosure.
“MainaGate is the most lethal blow yet to a struggling anti-corruption agenda that had the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) increasingly isolated by the Attorney-General of the Federation.
“Something is fundamentally broken in governance and MainaGate is a mere symptom. President Muhammadu Buhari’s usual aloofness on such matters won’t work.
“MainaGate is one scandal too many for President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. The time has come for the President to own these scandals and act.
“If President Buhari took public confidence building measures on MainaGate, SGFGate, NIAGate, he may yet revive faith in his agenda.”
To restore public boldness, she also advised the president to tackle other pending corruption scandals involving suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, and the Director of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ayodele Oke.
