A number of
our colleagues, have called my attention to NBA’s present paucity of funds.
They said NBA staff salaries are being owed. That Usoro assumed office as
President and met huge debts. Murray’s name was mentioned former Chief of
Staff under waste. That Mahmoud’s regime was wasteful. So on Friday 26th
October instant, I sent a whatsapp message to Murray I demanded explanation to
the charge of waste and NBA finances being frittered and here is the excerpt of
Murray’s response:
“Good
morning Dame. Team ABM has nothing to do with the treasury. Our mandate was to
formulate policies and strategy for the administration. We dare those who were making
false claims against the administration to probe it. We are all around to
answer questions when invited. Our Principal (AB Mahmoud SAN) like Akeredolu SAN
was not signing cheques and he personally financed most of his travels both
local and international.” - Abdul Rasheed Oladimeji a.k.s Murray
This
Saturday morning the 27th of October, 2018
MY COMMENTS:
You would
recall when Mahmoud assumed office August 2016. Mr Alegeh handed over a treasury of huge debts
in hundred millions Naira and Mahmoud gave indications of NBA’s humongous debt
profile. It does appear Mahmoud’s regime was unable to clear those debts and had
passed it to Mr Usoro.
OFFICE OF
CHIEF OF STAFF
NBA Office
of CoS isn’t there any more. Usoro
replaced it with an Executive office now being occupied by Victor Ekim Esq.,
same salary. You all know Victor Ekim was a candidate for the office of Chair
Abuja Branch Ekim is AKWA-CROSS Riverian but what we don’t know is Victor
Ekim’s salary and perquisites paid by NBA. Hopefully in due course Mr Paul
Usoro SAN will disclose it, in the spirit of transparency.
Last week
FCT High Court launched a case management docket. Usoro sent a representative
in the person of his Executive assistant. I think its high time Usoro delegated
his official duties/functions to his 1st Vice President following
Article 8(5)(b)(iv) of NBA Constitution 2015. Where the 1st VP is
absent, the 2nd VP and in his or her absence the 3rd VP.
There are 14 national officers we elected
in August 2018.
Thank you!
Attorney
Carol Ajie
