Yahaya Bello’s EFCC Comeuppance, By Farooq A. Kperogi

Yahaya Bello’s EFCC Comeuppance, By Farooq A. Kperogi

Yahaya Bello’s EFCC Comeuppance By Farooq A. Kperogi I am not from Kogi State, but I have strong opinions on former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello—as most Nigerians do. There is no doubt that few politicians in Nigeria are as universally reviled and despised as Yahaya Bello because of how he turned governance into a violent infant play, denuded it of even the faintest pretense to sanity and respectability, and developed an uncanny capacity to incite raw rage in people. That’s why there is mass excitement in Nigeria over his current travails with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Most…

BBC, Betta Edu, and Her Ministry of Corruption, By Farooq A. Kperogi By Farooq A. Kperogi The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) aroused the rage of Nigerians this week when it revealed in its periodic newsletter called “EFCC Alert” (which it shared with news organizations on Monday) that it had recovered up to 30 billion naira of the money allegedly stolen by suspended Humanitarian and Poverty Alleviation minister Betta Edu. The rage wasn’t directed at the EFCC, of course. It was directed at Betta Edu for the deficiency of morality it must take for her to steal that much…

Road To 2027: Can The North Stop Tinubu? (I)

  By ILYASU GADU A couple of weeks ago I got a call from one of my readers in Lagos who wanted me to confirm rumours of a coup and reports of soldiers of the Brigade of Guards manning strategic places in the FCT.

As he persisted in his inquiry, I advised him that either Major General Edward Buba of Defence Information or Major…

Constituency Project: How lawmakers pad budgets

Constituency Project: How lawmakers pad budgets

21 years after senators and members of the House of Representatives forced the Executive to insert Special Intervention Projects (SIP), known as constituency projects, into the budget, it has been one problem after the other every year. Constituency projects, which have a yearly budget of N100 billion, were established by the Obasanjo administration with the hope of bringing government closer to the people, especially those in the rural areas, just as it was not designed for lawmakers to determine directly what projects should go to their constituents or to be the ones who should provide contractors. With this in mind,…
