I stumbled on this VIDEO of the House of Reps Committee on the Capital Market interrogating Mrs Dame Atunma Oteh, the then Director-General of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
It refreshed my memory of how Nigeria’s criminal political class conspires to bring down competent and upright office holders who fail or refuse to do their bidding.
In 2012, Mrs Arunma was summoned by the House Committee for refusing to pay a bribe of N5 million to the Committee Chairman, Herman Hembe, to fund a public hearing. The Committee proceeded to recommend her removal, accusing her of mismanaging agency funds.
They further connived with some Board members and senior staff of the SEC to pressure the Presidency to bend to their demand to send Mrs Arunma on compulsory leave and audit her activities as the SEC Director-General, particularly the “Project 50” event held in December 2011.
Expectedly, the probe validated Mrs Arunma’s integrity and commitment to national interest, and brought shame to the House Committee. It took the insistence of Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and the approval of President Jonathan for her to be reinstated.
After her office expired in 2015, Mrs Arunma got immediate international engagements, from people who genuinely valued her worth. Nigeria lost her and her wealth of knowledge and experience.
Currently, she holds three standout international posts, amongst many. One, as an Executive in Residence at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Two, an Academic Scholar at St. Antony’s College, Oxford. Three, the Chairperson of the Royal African Society.
This is a reminder of how corrupt politicians in Nigeria conspire to frustrate and chase away competent and honourable public and civil servants who refuse to bend to their criminal will and interest.✍️
Dear Nigerians, PAY ATTENTION!
Lere Olayinka has deleted the tweet that exposed his crime. He deleted it without accountability. The DSS are yet to pick him up.
@OlayinkaLere is yet to explain to all Nigerians how he was able to gain unfettered access to INEC’s restricted area of the backend.
Wike’s aide is yet to tell us how he managed to publish Emeka Ike’s sensitive data. Professor Joash Amupitan has explanations to make as well. It will cost you nothing to retweet this, until INEC gives a satisfactory explanation.
Lere must tell us what happened to the IREV.
INEC wrote a whole load of rubbish, but failed to mention @OlayinkaLere name; not once!
WHAT DOES THIS TELL YOU?
INEC & whoever wrote the rubbish on their behalf, including Lere Olayinka, are laughing at Nigerians behind the scene. Any result/results declared by Joash Amupitan will be REJECTED!
INEC WILL SET NIGERIA ON FIRE!

As Nigeria counts down to 2027, my team and I have spent the last five months building something big.
It’s called Power and Plunder — a series that takes you through the entire history of Nigeria’s leadership.
From Tafawa Balewa in 1960 to the current administration, we’re doing deep dives on every single leader who has occupied that office. How they governed. What they built. What they destroyed. And how, for better or worse, each one shaped the course of this country.
First episode drops Wednesday, May 6th. Watch this space.
The tomb is empty. The call is loud.
