Yoruba extraction as the Executive Secretary of Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission, the strategy is to appoint her Managing Director of the Bank of Industry so she can build his war chest. Nigerians are watching.”
“In his quest to perpetuate his ilk in government, Osinbajo has capitalised on the magnanimity of President Buhari’s implicit confidence in him to plant his Yoruba and RCCG brethren in key agencies of government.”
“In a calculated attempt to corner the country’s Sovereign Wealth Fund, Osinbajo appointed his long standing crony, Mr. Zeitlin as the Chairman of the Board of National Sovereign Wealth Fund Investment Authority despite the fact that Mr. Zeitlin was indicted by a New Delhi court in India.”
“Not done with having control of the Sovereign Wealth Fund, Osinbajo, in clear contravention of the provisions of the Pension Reform Act 2014, orchestrated the illegal dissolution of the Board of the National Pension Commission and appointed his crony, Funsho Doherty, as Chairman and two RCCG brothers; Benjamin Ovbiosu and Akinwale as Commissioners, in a flagrant violation of the Federal Character Principle which stipulates each Geo Political Zone must have only one nominee on the Board.”
“Then again, Osinbajo went ahead to appoint his RCCG brother, Mr. Okoh as DG of the Bureau of Public Enterprise. It is important to state that Osinbajo’s law firm had retainership with the defunct New Nigeria Bank while Okoh was its Managing Director. Both men subsequently became Business associates. The ostensible reason why Mr. Okoh was sent to the BPE is to corner choice assets for Osinbajo in the next round of privatization.”
“The list is endless, from INEC to NNPC, Non-Career Ambassadors to the management of critical Regulatory Agencies, Osinbajo has surreptitiously embedded his lackeys in positions of authority against all known norms of equity, fairness, justice and Federal Character. Clearly, Osinbajo does not believe in the unity of the Nigerian state given his actions in the last 23 months. While he pretends not to have political aspirations, he has commenced covert campaigns for 2019 because he believes that President Buhari would not be in the position to contest at that time.”
“It is public knowledge, for instance, that Osinbajo has mandated a senior member of the RCCG leadership to mobilize and coordinate Christians in the Northern part of the country with a view to driving his 2019 presidential bid. This is a plot that is unknown to his benefactor and godfather, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who is banking on him to hand over to him in 2019 in the event of President Buhari not running for a myriad of reasons.”
“Indeed, in what can be viewed as a strategy for building a financial war chest, Osinbajo has pushed forward his brother-in-law and trusted aide, Lanre Osibona to front for him in business transactions with multinationals in oil and gas, power and construction sectors, among others. The said Mr Osibona, who was a stranded IT personnel in London is reportedly now hosting Champagne Parties in Abuja and other exotic cities around the world.”
“It was gathered the Mr Osibona in his capacity as the Aide overseeing his schedule, has been exchanging appointment times with juicy contracts. A case in point is the major contract that General Electric gave to a company fronting for Mr Osibona, simply because the former was able to facilitate a meeting for the power sector players.”
“Not satisfied with cornering deals in the power sector, Osinbajo and his stooge, Mr Osibona have in collaboration with the Minister of State Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu cornered all the juicy deals in the NNPC Group. They have also extended to the Ministry of Niger Delta and the NDDC, where Osinbajo has completely taken over the job of the Minster. While Nigerians were hailing Osinbajo for his shuttle diplomacy to the Niger Delta States a few months ago, they were oblivious of the fact that he was actually going there to further his nest and fortify his war chest for 2019.”
“Nigerians should also not be blind to the fact that the extant raging battle between Osinbajo and President Buhari’s Chief of Staff is grounded on the fact that Osinbajo always embark on 3 times a week trips to Lagos with over 40 aides on each of their trip at tax payers’ expense to Lagos using the Presidential Air Fleet and claiming bogus estacode. An infuriated Chief of Staff had to escalate this to President Buhari, hence the current power tussle in the villa.”
“Given the foregoing, the question Nigerians are asking is whether the self professed Pastor, Professor and Learned Senior Advocate is truly the saint he purports to be. The answer to this question can be situated in one of Osinbajo’s sermons at RCCG. In the said sermon, he admonished the congregation to refrain from worshipping the god of Baal and that they should instead worship the Almighty God. In today’s parlance, the god of Baal symbolizes the god of money and power. It is also of silence in the face of injustice. Osinbajo should please practice what he preaches.”
