Former minister of education, Oby Ezekwesili has said the controversial reinstatement of Abdulrasheed Maina is “a controversy too many” for President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, the former minister said the controversy was a “mess”.
“There is no redeeming prospect in the colossal mess made by officials of the FG in the #MainaGate,” she wrote.
“#MainaGate is the most lethal blow yet to a struggling anti-corruption agenda that had the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) increasingly isolated by the attorney-general of the federation.
“Something is fundamentally broken in governance and #MainaGate is a mere symptom.”
She added that Buhari’s “usual aloofness” will not work this time.
She wrote: “President Muhammadu Buhari ‘s usual aloofness on such matters won’t work.
“#MainaGate is one scandal too many for President Buhari ‘s administration. The time has come for the President to own these scandals and act.
“If President Buhari took public confidence building measures on #MainaGate, #SGFGate, #NIAGate, he may yet revive faith in his agenda.”
There is no redeeming prospect in the COLOSSAL MESS made by officials of the FG in the #MainaGate. But, @ least START with FULL DISCLOSURE.
