Presidential Orders: What PMB Needs To Know

By Ibrahim Garba Wala (IG Wala):
Presidential Order or Directive, must translate into action.
When President Muhammadu Buhari came out to announce the bail out package for states, we (the country) applauds such development. But, the news coming from BBC Hausa today reveals that no state has seen a single One Naira in the name of bailout. The Bauchi State Governor explained that there was/is no such money coming into the account of any state but, the FG directed CBN to take action. It is on this note that the CBN also contacted the states and demanded that the states should submit the names of their banks which can be directed to issue them soft loans. MY QUESTION HERE: is this the Presidential instruction given to CBN or this is what CBN resolved to do in her own capacity?
On a related development, a Soldier in the war front also lamented over the poor arms and non payment of allowances, even though the Military spokesperson clearly had doubt that the complainer may not be a soldier (but, I did not doubt him). Are we saying that the rest of the bad officers in charge of troops, I mean same officers that were reported to be cutting off soldiers money or deliberately delaying payment of salaries and allowances are no more in the Military? Can the Press/media be allowed to visit the soldiers in the warfront to ascertain their condition?
This is to say, the COAS must investigate this allegation coming from someone in the warfront, let any officer found wanting to be dismissed or be punished according to the military provision.
(Remember the attitude of the Permanent Secretary of Finance I reported two days ago? Check my wall).
PMB AND HIS AIDS MUST NOT RELENT IN FOLLOWING UP EVERY SINGLE DIRECTIVES ELSE, INDIVIDUAL OFFICERS ALONG THE CHAIN OF COMMAND MAY BE COMPROMISING HIS ORDERS AND STILL DOING BUSINESS AS USUAL.

State House of Assembly collected bribes from commissioner nominees

An N2.4 million bribery scam is rocking the Delta State House of Assembly. SaharaReporters learned that the Speaker, Monday Igbuya, and other members of the State House of Assembly allegedly collected N200,000 bribes from the twelve commissioner nominees forwarded by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for “screening.” Confiding in a SaharaReporters correspondent, a senior management staff person of the State’s House of Assembly who did not want to be named disclosed that one of the commissioner nominees told him in confidence how the twelve nominees’ arms were twisted to pay N200,000 each. The ultimatum was that without the N200,000 none of them would be cleared by the lawmakers. However, the source said, “If you were around during their screening on the floor of the House, you would have noticed that all the nominees were only told to take a bow” and to go. An aide to one of the commissioners who pleaded anonymity confided in SaharaReporters that the money was definitively give...

My Dilemma On Sambo Dasuki - Dr. Nura Alkali

I have a confession to make: I don't know whether to celebrate, to rue, or to be neutral on the ongoing trial of former NSA Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), charged with illegal possession of firearms by the DSS. According to popular opinion, Sambo Dasuki it was who, along with Cols. Dangiwa Umar, Lawal Gwadabe and David Mark, arrested then Head of State Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari at his bedroom on the night of Aug 17, 1985. However, so far President Buhari himself has never said a word in public about the events of that night, except to tell the remote causes of the coup. I know that as a Buhari supporter, i have hated Dasuki on that ground alone, regardless of his role in the GEJ government which reduced Nigeria to a laughing stock in the international community, reduced northerners to a second class status in their own country, and reduced the BH crisis to a fight between good and evil in which Dasuki was another name for Lucifer - thanks to the way his office misappropri...
