A
former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has knocked President Muhammadu Buhari
for not taking action on the certificate forgery scandal involving finance
minister, Kemi Adeosun.
Mr
Abubakar also flayed the president for not punishing officials involved in the
controversial recall of fugitive civil servant, Abdulrasheed Maina, last year.
In
a statement by Mr Abubakar’s media adviser, Paul Ibe, on Thursday, the former
said with those unresolved issues bogging his presidency, Mr Buhari cannot lay
claim to being “uncompromising”.
Both
episodes were exclusively reported by Premium Times, over the last one year.
The government did not resolve any of the scandals or punish those involved.
In
his statement on Thursday, Mr Abubakar rhetorically asked, “How uncompromising
a President can be when he allows a minister accused of forgery to remain at
her job?”
He
also questioned why action was not taken on Mr Malami for his roles in the
MainaGate.
“Why
did the Presidency do nothing as the Attorney General of the Federation,
Abubakar Malami, went to court to secure a kangaroo court order to stop the
Senate of the National Assembly from investigating who recalled, reinstated and
double promoted Abdulrasheed Maina?”
