A comedy of scandals

IT’S been a double – even triple – whammy of scandals for the Muhammadu Buhari administration that leaves its much trumpeted anti-corruption credentials in tatters.

To compound matters, popular belief is this is part of a power struggle as Buhari begins his long walk to Daura. We are also fast discovering that modesty as a lifestyle isn’t an article of faith subscribed to by all in government. It would have amusing if wasn’t a replay of a very Nigerian abuse of position and public funds of tragic proportions.

The Interim Management Committee has been asked to respond to claims it misappropriated N40 billion in the short time it has been in office. Its leaders were floundering when they appeared before the Senate ad-hoc committee and couldn’t account for N183 billion at the last sitting. They even managed to award themselves N1.5 billion for coronavirus relief.
