When APC/president Buhari’s led government came to power after defeating the P.D.P/Goodluck Jonathan’s led government, majority of Nigerians were very happy and believed that with president Buhari in the helm of affairs in the country (Nigeria), everything will be taking care of nicely most especially controlling or completely eradicating corruption in the country (Nigeria). But as it is now based on our (Viewers Corner News team) findings, only one agency is doing her work nicely which is the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Most Nigerians both home and abroad are very pleased with the way and manner the Commission (EFCC) is handling the issue of corruption which is also a plus for the federal government of Nigeria. Now our (Viewers Corner News team) main concern here is that, the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) instead of assisting, sharing and working closely with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to eradicate corruption in Nigeria, they turn around and start thwarting the efforts of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) which is bad. Our (Viewers Corner News team) findings in the past and now revealed that those individuals running the affairs of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) are individuals with lots of skeletons in their cupboards and very incompetent group of people who should never have been in that Commission (ICPC). This alone is a slap on president Buhari’s effort to eradicate corruption in the country (Nigeria). Recently the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) appointed governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state as commander against corruption, meaning that governor David Umahi is a corrupt free man and has been fighting against corruption in Nigeria. Sincerely this is laughable. Again Barr. Bako Abdullahi, the acting chairman of Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) allegedly said that based on the discussion he had with governor David Umahi, the award was given to him. This was done without proper investigation to know whether governor David Umahi merited this title or not which is bad. Even the provost of Anti Corruption Academy of Nigeria, professor Shola Akinrinade commended governor David Umahi as a man with zero tolerance for corruption. Now with such individuals running the affairs of various agencies under president Buhari’s government, it would be very difficult to end corruption in Nigeria because they praise and give awards to corrupt people perhaps for monetary gains, who knows. Honestly governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state remains among the worst governors and most corrupt in Nigeria based on our (Viewers Corner News team) findings and should never have been awarded such title (Commander against corruption) by the Commission (ICPC) if proper investigation was conducted. It was also said by majority of Nigerians that president Buhari has lots of incompetent and corrupt people running the affairs of some agencies in Nigeria and if nothing is done to correct this problem, it can in the long run dent president Buhari’s image to put things right in the country (Nigeria). In few years time, Nigerians will be heading to the poll to elect a new leader that would lead the country (Nigeria) which majority believed president Buhari would be re-elected if he declares interest to stand again for the post, therefore Viewers Corner News and the advisory team is calling on president Buhari to look into the activities of Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) because the commission is not working in line with the effort of eradicating corruption in Nigeria. If the commission (ICPC) can award a title to a corrupt governor like David Umahi of Ebonyi state, it then means that the Commission (ICPC) is aiding the practice of corruption in Nigeria. Normally before such award was given to governor David Umahi, the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) should have carried out series of investigations, visit governor David Umahi’s state to know what is going on there, make inquiries from neutral people within Ebonyi state and not only hearsay from the governor. Such action sound so funny, even during ex-president Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election campaign, over 400 million Naira was alleged to have been made available to governor David Umahi which he pocketed with his brothers. The evidence is there for everyone to see, this is corruption and now this same governor David Umahi has been awarded the commander against corruption by Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). Sincerely there are lots of such corruption issues which governor David Umahi is still committing till today in Ebonyi state which is known to everyone in his state. All these put together is more than enough to deny him the award. However president Buhari and his government should look into the activities of those appointed to run various agencies in the country (Nigeria), honestly they are among those thwarting the effort of president Buhari’s government. Now is the time to get things done because tomorrow may be too late.
