Former
President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday pushed back against “absurd” attempts by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to link
him to the unfolding scandal of how a fugitive returned to the
country and took a senior position in public service.
Mr. Jonathan said the fact that efforts are
being made to link him to the return and reinstatement of Abdulrasheed Maina
underscored how “uncoordinated and rudderless” the Buhari administration has
become.
“Are they saying it is President Jonathan that
flew him back into Nigeria and promoted him in two levels ahead of where he was
as at 2013 when he fled the from civil service?” Mr. Jonathan’s spokesperson,
Ikechukwu Eze, told Premium Times Wednesday night.
“They should stop insulting Nigerians or seeing
them as fools,” Mr. Eze said. Mr. Buhari has come under intense public
backlash since last week Friday when Premium Times uncovered Mr.
Maina’s surreptitious return to civil service.
Mr. Maina was declared wanted by the EFCC on
allegations of courting billions in public funds for his own use when he
headed the pension reform task force.
The pension funds scandal broke out
during Mr. Jonathan’s administration (2010-2015), and the government took
disciplinary steps against Mr. Maina by dismissing him from service.
Mr. Maina was an assistant director at the time
of his dismissal.
