NWPA Condemns Alleged Witch-Hunt of AGF Madein


Civil society group NWPA has decried alleged efforts to force the Accountant General of the Federation, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Sakirat Madein, out of office before her scheduled retirement in March 2025. They described the actions as "desperate and baseless."


At a press conference in Abuja, NWPA spokesperson Mrs. Christine Ezekwe commended Madein’s professionalism and President Tinubu’s leadership in supporting her tenure. "The President has made a wise decision by ensuring continuity and stability in the office," Ezekwe said.


The group dismissed claims that Madein victimized a Director by transferring him, asserting that routine postings are standard administrative practices. "Posting civil servants to strategic roles enhances their development and contribution to governance," Ezekwe explained.


In the words of  Mrs Ezekwe , “when has routine posting become a crime that posting A Director to a strategic institute where public servants are trained,  molded into professional bureaucrats  became a witch hunt? We are very sure that  Mr Shamselden Babatunde Ogunjimi was giving an assigned responsibility to impact on the system, groom civil servants for effective service delivery and contribute his quota to the development of the country ” 



“Claiming that the accountant General did not proceed on terminal leave is a desperation whose purpose time and season would uncover.  we are all here a few months ago when our beloved sister and the immediate past Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Yemi-Esan stayed in the office peacefully until her retirement date. Why did this group of desperadoes not sponsor media reports then?”


“With three months to the retirement of Mrs Oluwatoyin Sakirat Madein as Accountant General of the Federation those longing to occupy her position as their life time dreams should show a strong sense of maturity by waiting patiently for her to exit before they can takeover the position, if appointed ” 


The group appealed to the Accountant General to remember she is an ambassador of the Nigerian woman and go about her duty passionately to actualise the dreams of President Bola Tinubu’s promise to give renewed hope to Nigerians in line with his renewed agenda.


NWPA called for calm and urged Madein to remain committed to her duties. They noted that premature attacks on her legacy undermine national progress and public trust in governance.


The group concluded with a warning against further media campaigns targeting the AGF and other senior officials, including the Head of Civil Service. "Such actions do not serve the interest of Nigeria," Ezekwe stressed.

‎Fintiri's wobbly political chase game ahead of 2027 ‎

‎How his clandestine, deceptive schemes rupture, exposing weak, soft underbelly  ‎ ‎Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, the seeming omnipotent and intrepid political adventurist, is about to face the real test of his strength, political strategy and most importantly his touted popularity ahead of 2027 general elections as political realignments ahead of the election intensify. ‎ ‎Investigation by this reporter indicated that Fintiri's phenomenal luck which catapulted him from obscurity to national limelight in the last 25 years of this democratic dispension may desert him due to one or a combination of factors including arrogance, ego, deceit, betrayals, disloyalty and self adulation. ‎ ‎Fintiri has over the years carved a fearsome reputation as one of the most diabolic and dangerous politicians who ever traversed the murky and shark infested Nigerian political waters. A shrewd, insensate and unpredictable politician, Fintiri is reputed to be one of the most clinically cold ...

Ganye Chiefdom and Matters Arising

Image
As the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Ganye Chiefdom continue with pride and unity, it is disheartening to observe that a group of individuals appears bent on undermining the progress our people have achieved over the past decades.  As a forum dedicated to the precious unity and progress of this great chiefdom across ethnic and religious lines, we are therefore, compelled to state as follows; 1. It is particularly troubling that certain individuals—most notably a specific family with a long history of opposing peace, development, and ethnic harmony in our chiefdom—have now resorted to acts of physical assault, harassment, and intimidation. Their aim seems to be the preservation of their waning influence over the sociopolitical landscape of our people, using fear and division across ethnic and religious lines. 2. These tendencies recently culminated in the unlawful arrest and detention of a respected Chamba son, Alhaji Umaru Bello Jada, popularly known as Calcula...
