Dear NBA Members,
The arrest by State Agents
of Chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomole over APC Party primaries and allegations of
bribery and corruption sends a strong signal.
Recall that the NBA
Presidential election 2018 faced some allegations of vote swap and suspicions
of rigging in favour of Paul Usoro SAN. Following which, Chams the NBA ICT Partner post-election was
requested to submit the materials used for the NBA election for vetting by an
independent body. When immediate past President of NBA A B Mahmoud then appointed KPMG Auditors who are yet to commence work
because Paul Usoro SAN has not given the required co-operation to the Election
Auditors. Rather Mr Usoro appointed another auditing firm, PwC to look into the
NBA finances as at the date he was inaugurated by AB Mahmoud SAN. Despite
request to disclose PwC’s fees to be paid by NBA, Mr. Usoro would not disclose PriceWaterHouseCoopers’ fees. Currently one of
the presidential candidates Prof Ernest Ojukwu
sent a Freedom of Information request to NBA GS you all read it online.
I think Mr. Usoro SAN
should demonstrate competence and transparency by disclosing it forthwith.
But the bigger issue
however is if State Agents DSS or EFCC quiz Mr Usoro following Oshiomole’s precedent…. they moved
against Oshiomole, to establish that they could also move against Paul Usoro
SAN. I think Paul Usoro has Put NBA in a state of confusion. E.g Mr Usoro has yet called NEC – NBA meeting
for this quarter November 2018 as required by the NBA Constitution. That is Mr Usoro’s new face of NBA as hinted
in one of his dour speeches. Meanwhile Mr Usoro has pulled down the NBA web
icon OPNBA – Office of the President of NBA because as we pointed our earlier, Mahmoud
was the name on the page months after
Usoro was sworn- in. Mr. Usoro’s want of
admin skill in these matters. He went to the Federal High Court Legal year to chide
the Federal Judges in Sept 2018 for not updating Court website when NBA website under the
supposedly internet savvy Lawyer Paul Usoro
was as bad.
On NBA website, the link is
below, there is nothing to suggest Usoro is prepared for NEC-NBA Nov. 2018
