Read all Omokri wrote below.
On Monday, February 1, 2021, Nigerians woke up to a rather shocking accusation. Garba Shehu blamed us for Nigeria’s abysmal Transparency International new Corruption Perception Index rating and absolved his boss, General Muhammadu Buhari of any responsibility
Garba Shehu is a man without credibility. He is described by @AishaMBuhari, #Buhari’s wife, as a dishonest human being, and he has serially proven that that assessment is accurate by his many untrue statements, some of which I will list.
Some of @GarShehu’s lies include the lie that bandits abducted only 10 Kankara boys, that @MBuhari has secured Nigeria, that “Nigeria achieved the record of the 2nd largest rice producer in the world” (Nigeria is not even among the top 10 producers)
@GarShehu is a paid sycophant, who lies without fear of God. To prove Buhari is irresponsible and incapable of leading Nigeria to anything other than total destruction, I will now list 20 reasons why @MBuhari is corrupt and the TI rating is justified
According to a former @MBuhari insider, @farooqkperogi, #Buhari’s nephew, Sabiu ‘Tunde’ Yusuf, who used to sell recharge cards in Daura, is now a trillionaire in Naira, without any known source of income, wielding power and flies about in private jets
The @MBuhari administration, not Nigerians, budgeted $500 million to digitalise the Nigerian Television Authority, a network that is not even worth $50 million. Who will spend such amount on a station no one watches if not for corruption?
It is the @MBuhari government, not the citizens of Nigeria, that budgeted ₦37 billion to renovate a National Assembly complex built for ₦6 billion only. That corruption is just too obvious. Especially when Nigeria is in recession and heavy debt
Nigerians are not responsible for concealing the true owners of the Ikoyi Apartment billions, reported to be a potbellied former Governor of Rivers state. If @MBuhari fighting corruption and TI, @anticorruption, is wrong, then expose who owns the cash
Why are the heads of the Executive, Legislature, Judiciary, Ministry of Defence, Army, Police, NSA, DSS, NIA, DMI, DIA, NPS, NCS, NIS, and EFCC all Northern Muslim men? Of course, Transparency International is aware that nepotism is also corruption.
It is not Nigerians who went to Kano to lift the hand of @GovUmarGanduje, a man caught on camera collecting bribes in dollars and stuffing it into his babanriga. Do @MBuhari and @GarShehu think Transparency International, @anticorruption, are fools?
What happened to @AishaMBuhari’s ADC and the billions he allegedly stole? He has not been tried since 2018. The case has been buried. Is it because he knows too much about Buhari and his family? @GarShehu, are Nigerians to blame for that or #Buhari?
It is not Nigerians who refused to try Bola @AsiwajuTinubu, despite clear evidence of bullion vans entering his home on Election Day 2019, in contravention of the Money Laundering Act, 2011, and instead made him a major powerbroker in the Presidency.
It is not Nigerians who granted regular access to the Presidency to Babachir Lawal, a man whose hands were caught red-handed in the cookie jar, accused of stealing hundreds of millions via the grass cutter scandal. @MBuhari and @MBuhari am I lying?
It is not Nigerians that protected Nasir Danu, Buhari’s right-hand man, arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport with huge undeclared sums of money and a fake passport, and was eventually deported to Nigeria, and then seen with @MBuhari at Aso Rock
It isn’t Nigerians who allowed General @MBuhari’s children use the Nigerian Presidential Jet to attend private functions or allowed APC Governors to use the jet to attend APC campaign events. So @GarShehu should stop blaming Nigerians for TI’s rating
It is the Buhari administration, not Nigerians who claimed to have spent millions of dollars feeding school children during the #COVID19 lockdown. How the @MBuhari junta expected not to be a laughing stock after that claims beats any imagination!
Who is to blame for the refusal to charge anyone for NNPC’s $25 billion contracts awarded without due process, after the scam was exposed in a leaked memo by Buhari’s minister? No African nation can experience such fraud without facing recession
Was General @MBuhari’s daughter made a manager at an NNPC subsidiary as reported by several media? Why? Are Nigerians to blame for that? Transparency International, @anticorruption, monitors nepotism, as it is one of the worst forms of corruption
How come Nigeria’s foreign debt increased from $7 billion in 2015 to $32 billion in 2020? @MBuhari has borrowed more than Abacha, Abdulsalami, Obasanjo, Yar’adua and @GEJonathan, combined. Where has the money gone? Much of it into private pockets.
Charly Boy, @AreaFada1, a prominent musician and singer, admitted that Festus @fkeyamo, bribed him with a 9 figure sum. Where did Keyamo get such monies? The case was swept under the carpet, and @MBuhari rewarded Keyamo by making him a minister.
A former MD of NDDC, Joy Nunieh, revealed that a minister in Buhari’s government, Godswill Akpabio, was involved in multi billion Naira fraud and tendered evidence. To this day, nothing was done to Akpabio. He continues to serve in Buhari’s cabinet.
Aisha Buhari blew the lid off the fact that despite almost ₦10 billion budgeted for the State House Clinic under Buhari, the facility could not even boast of paracetamol or a working x-ray machine. Are Nigerians to blame for this brazen corruption?
Despite the alleged NHIS ₦10 billion scandal which the government’s own auditors exposed, those indicted have not been charged or prosecuted. Does the Any Government in Power Garba Shehu, blame Nigerians for this blatant corruption?
How could the former Chief of Army Staff, General Buratai have been able to afford properties in Dubai on his official and legitimate salary? In fact, should a public official even own properties outside Nigeria? If it is not corrupt, is it ethical?
If you were Transparency International, would you say Nigeria is fighting corruption, when the government of Nigeria is yet to explain the 20 infractions listed above, and even sometimes to rewarded those behind these acts of grand corruption?
