Everyone I’ve spoken with who is currently serving in government has told me that this Prince Adeniyi case is simply a scam, but when I start asking questions, none of them has been able to answer. Yes, you can forge an appointment letter and claim that you are a DG but appointment letters are signed by the SGF not the COS. Who allegedly issued his appointment letter or what signature is his allegedly forged appointment letter showing? Someone higher than a DG must ask that you be allocated office space in the Federal Secretariat. Who made that request? Someone higher than a DG must write asking that you be given an alleged take-off grant. You cannot yourself write to the Budget Office and the Office of the Accountant General that you should be given a take-off grant. Who allegedly wrote? How did the agency get into the budget? Usually, you will go for budget defence as part of a cohort. In this case, it will probably be as part of the State House cohort. Who defended or coordinated the defence of the budget estimates before the National Assembly before they were appropriated? Did the guy earn a salary in the more than one year he was there? If so, who documented him and asked that he be paid? With which money was the guy running the office for more than one year if nothing was allegedly released? Who allegedly wrote to the CBN asking them to open an account for the ‘Council’? The ‘Council’ cannot just walk into CBN and ask to open an account, as if it’s a commercial bank looking for customers. Who allegedly approved the ‘Council’s’ manning levels and who allegedly approved the waiver to recruit 300 staff? Was the guy allegedly really that good? Or were there egregious failings at multiple points in the system? These questions and more are often met with deafening silence. Everyone sighs heavily and uses the ubiquitous expression “Na waa.” Me sef, I sigh heavily and answer “Na real waa!” This is a case of the proverbial tse tse that has landed on the scrotum. Leave it and it will cause sickness and pain. Swat it and it will cause pain because of its location. Anyhow you look at it, there are questions begging for answers. And whatever the answers will be, they will not be good. Still, I hope that there’ll be some answers soon…for the sake of our public administration system. I am Ezemmuo. I know things.
