-Buhari’s cohorts are lying to him – Maina

Fayose tells Maina to expose corrupt officials in Buhari’s government

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state has urged embattled Abdulrasheed Maina to reveal the corrupt people in President Buhari’s government.

Maina, who was the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, disclosed in an interview with Channels TV, that people working with Buhari are not being truthful to him. He also asked President Buhari to give him the opportunity to prove his innocence.

Reacting to Maina’s interview, Fayose expressed certainty that  President Buhari will take no action. The governor made reference to the case of the allegation of fraud levelled against Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru.

The Governor also said “The Maina challenge is another opportunity for President Buhari to prove that he is actually fighting corruption. But I am sure that since it again bothers on his closest men, he won’t do anything.”

“There is no need waiting for the President to conduct public inquiry on the pension scam, Maina should just go ahead and tell Nigerians who the thieves among Buhari’s men are,” he added.

In another development, Maina has challenged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to an open debate, while insisting that he is innocent.

He has urged the Federal Government to institute an independent investigation panel.

However, the Presidency has also challenged Maina to disclose those who re-instated him.
