In reaction to the scandal rocking Nigeria's Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen Yusuf Buratai's Dubai purchased mansion and the rationalisation that the COAS bought the plush edifice with his savings and not abusing public funds, one Ogunnoiki O. Samuel has made effort to demonstrate how the Buratai made be guilty of pilfering public funds for personal interest. Read how Samuel drive home his point to indict General Buratai:
Lt Gen Yusuf Buratai impresses me with his alleged saving culture.
He will be 56years in November 2016! He joined army as NDA cadet in 1981. He became commissioned as 2nd Lt in 1983.
If he had not spent one Naira from his legitimate earnings since 1983, assuming he earned N500,000 in a month, in 33 years he would have saved N198m.
That is if he and his wives and children had fasted for 396 months, saving N500,000 monthly, not buying clothes or paying school fees or rents.
And N198m will not buy the property in question in Dubai. That amount will only sink 3 boreholes under former governor of Lagos who allegedly spent N139m only to dig 2 boreholes.
So, President Buhari should please direct his Guinness Book of Records salaries-saver, Lt Gen Buratai to kindly publish his banks saving accounts statements from 1983 to date.
Let the EFCC scrutinize the accounts in public interest. Or the war against corruption does not affect any APC member. Buratai bought the house after he became army chief. Nigerians are still watching.
Do you agree with Samuel's logic?
