Nigerians are no longer buying Buhai’s anti-corruption gospel, not after Maina happened to us.
In case you missed it, former Pension Boss who was put on Interpol’s watch list for pension scam was re-instated into the civil service again, and even promoted.
Premium Times broke the story and all hell broke loose.
President Buhari then fired Maina this afternoon, after the damage had been done.
Twitter Nigeria has a lot to say.
See below:
In the beginning
Pensioners are dying from poverty yet PMB's admin fights corruption by reinstating Maina, the man who allegedly looted their pension!

Can any person in his right mind still say that President Buhari and the APC have integrity after the Babachir, NNPC and now Maina episodes?
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) October 23, 2017
Now they blame the head of service for reinstating Maina, the same way they blamed Osinbajo for approving the $25 billion NNPC contract scam

Reabsorbing Abdulrasheed Maina is a slap on everyone’s face who campaigned and voted for PMB on the basis of Anti-Corruption. I am pained!!!

President Clueless
PMB's Aide: Maina is not guilty
Presidency: We are not aware
Buharists: Maina was reinstated according to the law
What a government!

1. Sack Maina with immediate effect
2. Fire & Prosecute those who recalled Maina
3. Act on Ex-SGF report
Then I will know PMB is back

Maina must go!
President @MBuhari has directed the immediate disengagement of Mr. Abdulrasheed Maina from the Federal Civil Service.
— Presidency Nigeria (@NGRPresident) October 23, 2017
Buhari is wrong!
1.Having being recalled & promoted, Buhari has not power to summarily sack Maina.
A court order is all he needs in be back to his position.
— Nicholas Ibekwe (@nicholasibekwe) October 23, 2017
2. Nigerians love tokenism. It's a hangover from years of being ruled by military juntas. This face-saving illegality should be challenged.

Corruption scam
Buhari orders Head of Service to submit report on pension thief Maina's reinstatement to Chief of Staff. Corruption investigates Corruption!

Just this morning Buhari apologists said Buhari doesnt have the power to sack maina. By afternoon they've announced that Buhari sacked Maina
— Gege (@nigeriasbest) October 23, 2017
Okoi Obla went on TV to 'stain his white'……then Buhari decided to sack Maina…….that's the problem with defending Buhari..
— Gege (@nigeriasbest) October 23, 2017
Buhari deserves a 2nd term. This is the most entertaining govt in Nigerias history. Maina recalled, defended & sacked by the same presidency
— Gege (@nigeriasbest) October 23, 2017
If Maina isn't arrested at the point of entry into Nigeria, I suggest at that point we stop all the corruption prosecutions. End the game!
— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) October 23, 2017
@NGRPresident @MBuhari has had many lows, but reabsorbing Maina into the civil service is the lowest! BIG FAT SHAME! This is obnoxious! pic.twitter.com/U6g14uCaX4

#PMBHowDoYouSleep knowing you went from saying you would fight corruption May 29th 2015 to entrenching corruption in 2017

Other matters arising
Well done Mr President for listening to the outcry of the people and doing the right thing of asking Maina to be disengaged.
— Aisha Yesufu (@AishaYesufu) October 23, 2017
Pres. @MBuhari, sir it's good that you have fired Maina. But what are you doing about our kitchen cabinet who keep embarrassing your govt?

Thumbs up, Premium Times
Now, imagine if all the attempts to censor the media had worked, and @PremiumTimesng had been unable to break the Maina story. Just imagine.

Kudos to @PremiumTimesng for breaking the Maina story.
Long live the free press.
