EDITORIAL: MS FARIDA WAZIRI, THE EFCC, THE
LEGISLATURES AND THE NIGERIAN
STATE; THE R & D OF NATIONAL PEOPLES NEWS.
The constitutional amendment to change the position of the
CEO of EFCC from the department of the Police force of the Nigerian Federation
to be headed by a retired or serving Judge is wrong, illogical and untenable to
due process and philosophical aspects of rational inferences.
This proposed bill if it is passed into law will ultimately
kill the anti corruption crusade of the Nigerian Federation and inadvertently
kill the entire polity as looting , anarchy will become the order of the day
and could be the very causality of Nigeria becoming a failed state.
Reason must prevail that in the order of protocols of Nation
State an established precedence of Crime and restitution is adhered to by all
Nations of the world.
It is the duty of the Police Force to hunt for, and catch
criminals as their statutory and constitutional responsibility and whence that
department called EFCC- Economic and Financial Crime Commission should be
headed by the Police Department, just as the name implied – Crime-- ECONOMIC
& FINANCIAL CRIME COMMISSION-…
We have never seen any where in the whole world were judges
go about hunting and looking for criminals all over the world, why then should
our own in Nigeria be a difference… Even in the United State, Russia, United
Nations etc and all over the world where the person who started the commission
in Nigeria H.E Malam Nuhu Ribadu, one of the greatest sons of Africa is helping
to establishing the commissions all over the world, and a great consultant in
that field for the entire world,- they always use a Police personality serving
or retired to head such a commission.
The Police are
trained in hunting and catching criminals looting the treasuries of the Nation.
What experience has a retire judge , who mostly want some quiet of retirement
to begin to head a hot commission in search of vicious, draconian , devilish
and dangerously calculating treasury looters and financial crime criminals…?
Is it the duty of a judge or a retired judge in the court to
hunt for criminals of economic or financial crimes,? This is very funny and all
of our Legislatures cannot put Heads together and arrive at this simple logic
that on no condition must any other person except a respectable police officer
or retire police officer head the commission and hunt and search for criminals
that loot the treasuries of the Nigeria state and have plunged us into this
shame and economic quagmire…
Where was the House when EX-President Olusegun Obasanjo and
H.E Abubakar Atiku were forming the EFCC Commission? , was it the duty of the
presidency to form and fund such a commission?, The House were sleeping then
and wallowing in indiscretion and the usual lackadaisical milieu of service delivery
in the Nigerian State..
Now that the Police commission of the Nigerian State has
been able to achieve an enviable novel concept in the aspects of financial
crimes and restitution that the whole world is adopting including the United
Nations as there own contribution to world social and economic entropy the House
of Representative want to steal this concept out of their hands and jettison
it. This is unfair and unacceptable to all Nigerian of patriotic will. It is
malicious and devilish...
If you have as axe to
grind with Ms Farida Waziri , the present Amazon of EFCC as in the trial of the former speaker House
of Representative Honorable Dimeji Bankole over an alleged 10 billion Naira
fraud you can do so by other means by requesting her sack but to because of the
running feud between the former Leader of the House change the constitution and
destroy the importance and strength of such a great commission is unpatriotic
and a disservice in the aspect of legislation, and statesmanship on a global
basis and a disgrace to intelligence.
In the aspect of bringing people to restitution the world
over there is precedence, especially when it comes to crime and punishments…
It is the duty of the Police to catch the criminals,
investigate the cases and charge the persons to a recognized court for
subsequent hearing… that is the established sequence of protocol all over the
world.
One wonders what we are becoming in this Nation… where has
it ever been told that a judge heads a police commission that hunts and catch hardened
criminals looting the treasuries of the state and the hard earn taxes of the
great people of Nigeria thereby putting the entire polity to wallow in poverty
, penury and denigrations of shame, ruin
and grief… the import of the offense of treasury looting is really grave and to
begin to trivialize it as the Legislatures are doing is really questionable as
to how patriotic this present elected 7th
Assembly of the Federation are?
Where has it ever been done that a judge head a criminal
commission to hunt for criminals of economic and financial crimes…Please the Nigerian
people are begging the Legislatures not to destroy Nigeria and make us a laughing
stock in the international community…
And we appeal to all men and women of goodwill, that loves
the continuous existence of Nigeria,
to beg the Legislatures of the 7 TH Assembly not to collapse Nigeria.. This
is the only country we have to call our own, let’s join hands to make it great.
LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. AMEN.
