Former President of Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, on Thursday, listed some 'abnormal' things state governors at doing at their respective states.
This is also as he called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack his entire cabinet, because it has failed.
Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, titled “National Intervention Movement NIM,” Agbakoba explained that NIM was not a political party but a network of people committed to make a difference in Nigeria.
The Former NBA chief noted the following among the state governors :
- Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos fixing federal roads, while state roads were deplorable.
- Okorocha is erecting statutes of all kinds of people when Imo State owes pensioners.
- Fayose is making Christmas clothes for children but has not paid Ekiti workers.
- Wike is using Rivers State money to buy SUVs for members of the National Assembly
According to him, there is no reason for salaries of oil producing states as Rivers, Bayelsa, Abia and Delta not to have been paid. Making a case for confidence to return to the nation’s judiciary, Agbakoba further wondered why governors accused of corruption after office got judicial immunity.
“Politicians charged with corruption present themselves for public office in every election circle. Some are senators making laws for the country,” he added.
Agbakoba urged the civil society and media to wrest power from the ruling political elite to achieve a new inclusive system that would work for all and not a few.
