Since December, 2017 when over one thousand names
were released as Chairmen and members of the Boards and Parastatals, the SGF
office has been under various attacks and accusations of manipulation of the
names of people for various appointments.
The accusations include but not limited to
substitution of some names and changing of people from one board to another.
The event of the last few months saw the SGF office
becoming more daring by ultering and changing names approved by Mr President for
the heads of some Agencies and Parastatals.
This ugly development caught the attention of Mr
President when few of the people shortchanged found their ways back and
reported to him. Therefore, President Muhammadu Buhari has given order for
secret but thorough investigation into the whole embarrassing allegations
against the SGF to determine the level of involvement of the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, Boss Gida Mustapha and others.
According to the source from Presidential villa who
pleaded to be anonymous, "the President felt terribly bitter over the
matter and thus want to uncover the truth".
"Yes, the President is aware of how some names
he approved for some agencies' heads were been allegedly changed, on the
allegations of collection of huge monies in millions of Naira to announce
different people.
He is also aware that some of the appointments he
has approved for several months now, are either not announced publicly or some
of them that were announced are been prevented from resuming their offices
because they have not 'settle' or that those occupying the offices (outgoing
heads) are setting very heavily."
The source said further, "there were so many
appointments that have been approved by the President that are still pending in
SGF office, he only treat those ones that have settled him. Or how do you
explained the so many cases of tenure expiration of some agencies and SGF
office wouldn't act immediately.
All SGF is busy doing is to extort from incumbent
Heads with the promise to get them fresh new tenure or extension of tenure of
office. Where he couldn't get Presidential approval, he will just refuse to
give any official communication, hence
the activities of such agencies become epileptic in operations."
When such complaints reached the President, he
immediately ordered for secret probe into the activities of the SGF and his
office as regards to appointments of Heads of agencies and Parastatals.
Another source corroborated the earlier position and
said "the President lamented so terribly that his SGF could be involved in
such act capable of sabotaging his efforts". While some sources in the SGF office agreed
that "the way and manners the new SGF is handling the appointment matter
is so secretive and unconventional."
Recently, over half a dozen of agencies heads got
all their tenure renewed amidst several protest by the staff unions of some
agencies and corruption allegations against them.
While some agencies heads' had their tenure expired
and no directive from SGF office on who to take over. Thank God for the active
response of some Ministers on few occasions that gave directives for most
senior Director to take over.
And this is happening against the Presidential
detectives that all head of agencies still remaining from the last
administration should proceed on terminal leave since March this year to pave
way for the new appointments.
The President recently gave another order that all
pending appointments should be released before the end of this month of June
2018, to enhance the effective and efficient performance of the new budget for
2018.
However wish
to know the level of culpability of The SGF, Permanent Secretaries in SGF
office and all that are involved before they are dragged to the EFCC OR ICPC.
It was reliably gathered that the SGF is aware of
the impending danger ahead as regards the probe and he has ran to Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo for help.
Another source in the party said SGF is a fifth
columnist in the Buhari Government.
"He (Boss Mustapha) has resolved to maximize
his gain from that office because he doesn't believe in Buhari leadership that
much".
He further said that "Mustapha has expressed
serious doubt on some occasions while with his friends that 2019 is not too
sure for President Buhari."
That cannot be too amazing because of Boss
outstanding relationship over a period of years with Atiku Abubakar, the former
Vice President.
Apart from
coming from same state, Boss is one of the closet confidant and dependable Atiku’s
political son in Adamawa State.
