Why Buhari is indeed the Father of Corruption

A chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress in Adamawa State, Mark Wosi, has described President Muhammad Buhari as the ‘father of corruption’.

Wosi was reacting to backdrop of several probe reports submitted to the Presidency, which appeared to have indicted Buhari’s top government officials of corrupt practices.

He said corruption allegations involving the top government officials in Buhari’s administration were been stalled because those involved were the President’s loyalists.

In an interview with Punch Newspapers, Wosi said , “You can ’t keep telling us you are fighting corruption while there are corruption allegations against people around you and yet you can ’t do anything about it. This only means you are the father of corruption . The integrity of President Muhammadu Buhari is now in doubt with all these fraud cases under his nose .”

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had on Wednesday , August 23 , 2017 , submitted to the Presidency the report of the committee that investigated allegations of corruption against Lawal and Oke .

Similarly, a committee set up by the Minister of Health , Prof . Isaac Adewole, had discovered that frauds to the tune of N919 m allegedly took place under Yusuf , who had spent less than a year at the NHIS . The report was then sent to the President on September 4 .

While Oke was supposed to have proceeded on pre – retirement leave from August as his tenure ends in November, there has been no official decision by Buhari on allegations against the NIA boss.

Also, chieftains of the All Progressives Congress in some states of the federation have asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal , 

the suspended Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme , Prof . Usman Yusuf , and the suspended Director -General of the National Intelligence Agency , Ayo Oke , to save his anti – graft war .
