FANI-KAYODE: Buhari a weakling who can’t control his officials

Nigeria’s former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a weakling who cannot control his officials. He described what is going on in the Presidency as a “shitty show of shame.”

Fani-Kayode, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, was responding to the news of the reinstatement and subsequent dismissal of the former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina.

Maina, a fugitive, who was declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), got reinstated into the Nigeria civil service in controversial circumstance. President Muhammadu Buhari, however, on Monday, ordered his immediate dismissal.

Both the Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau and Head of Service, Winifred Oyo-Ita, have denied being responsible for Maina’s reinstatement.

But in a tweet on his twitter handle Fani-Kayode said, “Hon. Min. Kachikwu says GMD NNPC lied. GMD NNPC says Hon. Min. Kachikwu lied. Hon.. Min. Dambazau says Head of Service lied. Head of Service says Hon. Min. Dambazau lied.

“What a shitty show of shame @MBuhari is running! Can’t even control his own officials let alone run a country!”

This is coming as two documents have indicted the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), as being responsible for the reinstatement of Maina.

Two separate letters by the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) addressed to Maina and the Head of Service, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, is said to have shown that the former fugitive was reinstated on the advice of Malami.
