The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

Full disclosure: I do not speak for the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project . I have never met anyone who works there.

Out of that mansion last week, the Buhari government sought to discredit the work of a stellar civil society organisation it ought to have been crediting with a part of its path to office. That is patently false. The first thing is to remember that the Buhari administration is not SERAP’s first, or only rodeo. Its concern is not with a passing government but with an idea: justice and good governance. That is what it has prosecuted for nearly 20 years, in terms of which Buhari’s is only one-third of the SERAP story.

The warning appears to be that SERAP must be careful, otherwise Nigeria may well become what SERAP says it is and the organisation disappears. It threw down the gauntlet: “Let SERAP challenge the government publicly, legally and transparently. And while they do so, let them reveal in full view of the nation who they are, and who is funding them.”

It is significant that when he took office, Buhari himself several times affirmed — falsely, we now know — that he would recover $16bn from those who squandered that money. He has not.
