(Opposition Party Tackles Jonathan over Malabu Oil Deal, Articles)
(Soldiers shoot selves 鈥o avoid deployment to Boko Haram communities)
Line 1: Line 1:
  
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to urgently take action on the monumental Malabu oil scandal that is again putting Nigeria under the global searchlight as a corrupt nation.
+
AS the battle to rout out Boko Haram terrorists from communities seized in Adamawa State continues, military source have disclosed that some soldiers and officers are inventing pranks to avoid deployment to the battlefield.
  
In a statement sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Jonathan must end his silence on the matter since half of the $1.1 billion paid to Malabu Oil and Gas for Oil Prospecting Lease (OPL) 245 by two oil majors was allegedly used to bribe Nigerian officials who, in turn, used the proceeds to buy private jets and armoured limousines.
+
At the weekend, seven soldiers allegedly opened fire on different parts of their bodies and later claimed that Boko Haram terrorists shot them, but when medical examination was carried out on them, it was discovered that the shots were self-inflicted.
  
It said since the deal to pay Malabu the huge funds was brokered and passionately defended by the Jonathan administration, it stands to reason that officials of the same administration will know one or two things, and perhaps are part and parcel of the whole scandal.
+
The army high command has also discovered that information about its strategies and operational road map in the North East were being passed on to Boko Haram terrorists by orderlies and close aides of commanders on the field.
  
The only way to know for sure is if there is an independent investigation of the allegation, which has been published by the international media after Italian prosecutors intensified their probe into the deal.
+
It was gathered that some of the perpetrators of the crime had been arrested, while a board of inquiry had been set up to carry out further investigation, after which a court martial to try them would be set up.
  
This is where President Jonathan comes in: he must allow an unfettered probe of this scandal that has again put Nigeria in a bad light. Whatever happens, however, the names of those who received the bribes will soon be known, thanks to the determination of the UK and Italy to show that no one who violates their laws will go scot-free.
+
The source revealed that many of the soldiers had devised means, so as not to be set for battlefield, while others faked strange ailments.
  
Just like the Halliburton and Siemens bribery scandals that were also exposed from abroad, this Malabu scandal has again damaged Nigeria s standing in the comity of nations. While US, France, Italy and Germany have jailed officials and imposed fines on the foreign firms that gave bribes to Nigerian officials in the Halliburton and Siemens scandals, none of those who received the bribes here in Nigeria has been touched. The Malabu scandal must not go the same way, APC said.
+
It was reliably gathered that the alleged attack on seven soldiers at the weekend were carefully masterminded by the troops, so as to look as if the Boko Haram, terrorists actually attacked them.
  
The party said Nigeria has never had it this bad, in terms of runaway corruption that has cost the nation billions of dollars in money that could have gone into national development, as is the case under the prodigiously-corrupt Jonathan administration .
+
The source disclosed that when the soldiers were brought to the hospital in Adamawa, the injuries were fresh, while the bullets just pierced through the flesh to the other side, with no bone affected.
  
There is no better way to say this. The Jonathan administration is swimming in corruption and the president has contumaciously allowed it to fester because his government is feeding fat on the proceeds of graft. He has even tried to use semantics to cover up the extent of the sleaze, saying stealing is not corruption, it said.

Nigerian Tribune also gathered that the troops had started pushing out the insurgents from the zone, with the arrival of the new equipment.<p>Related Articles:</p><ul><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Palermo</a></li><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Pallas</a></li><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Rendez-Vous</a></li></ul>

APC said apart from the Malabu, Halliburton and Siemens scandals, the Jonathan administration had done nothing to tell Nigerians what happened to the $20 billion in diverted oil money; the multi-billion naira fuel subsidy fraud for which no single person has been brought to justice; opaque crude oil swaps at the expense of encouraging domestic refining; payment of billions of naira in kerosene subsidy without appropriation; and the gargantuan police pension fraud.

+
Under your watch, Mr. President, there is massive looting of the commonwealth by the same people being paid by taxpayers to ensure the judicious utilisation of the scarce national resources.
+
 
+
There is a growing culture of impunity because no one is punished for the looting. Now you have another chance to turn things around for the better.
+
 
+
The Malabu scandal provides such a chance. All those who collected millions of dollars in bribes in the illegal transaction must be identified and brought to justice immediately.
+
 
+
We must not always allow foreign countries to be the ones exposing corrupt Nigerian officials. Our government must act like a responsible government by demonstrating it will not allow the violation of its laws or encourage corruption, the party said.<p>Related Articles:</p><ul><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Palermo</a></li><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Pallas</a></li><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Rendez-Vous</a></li></ul>
