fighting corruption is a welcome idea, but people begin to ask questions when the fight against corruption is lopsided and certain people being targeted for being in the opposition.
Again the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
has been criticised in strong terms for jailing Reuben Abati who was accused of
stealing N50m, while Rotimi Amaechi who is also accused of stealing N235m is given
a ministerial appointment by the Buhari led administration.
The latest criticism is coming from an ex-special assistant
to former President Goodluck Jonathan on new media, Reno Omokri, as he is
surprised why Amaechi who is being accused from almost every quarter is given
such an exalted position and allowed to walk freely on the street.
“Reuben Abati allegedly got ₦50 million from Dasuki and goes
to jail. Rotimi Amaechi admittedly spends $500k (₦235 million at today’s rate)
on a one day dinner for Soyinka and becomes a minister! Welcome to the new
Nigeria!” He said through a tweet on his Twitter timeline.
Furthermore, he posted on his social media handle, saying,
“With all due respect, Kemi Adeosun cannot be able to pullout the economic
magic that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala will pullout.
“For example, the President took about six months to set a
cabinet after which he replaced Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala with Kemi Adeosun who has a
bachelor degree in economics from the University of East London. I schooled in
London and I know that the University is not a really well ranked university.
“Moreso, this is someone who has just a degree in economics
and post graduate diploma which is not as high as bachelors.
“Now you had someone who has a PHD in regional and economic
development and worked as a Managing Director at the World Bank and also a
former Minister of Finance replaced by Kemi who I have nothing against; in a
difficult period like this, you need to put your best hands.”
