Transparency, sincerity and honesty are identified as watchwords of the incoming APC administration while executive stealing, corruption and insincerity led to the defeat of the outgoing PDP administration under a clueless president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

It is most appropriate and in the interest of probity and justice at this critical period for the APC administration to thoroughly probe not only the missing NNPC $20billion but also the outgoing FCT administration presided over by a renowned sycophant and highly corrupt person who bastardised the FCDA in collaboration with his itchy-fingered director of treasury, Ibrahim Bomoi, whose record of financial malfeasance is beyond imagination.

Speaking to our correspondent via telephone in Dubai where he is currently sojourning for his safety after several threats to his life, Mallam Tukur Mamu, publisher of DESERT HERALD newspaper, opined that for the six years that Bala held sway as FCT minister, corruption, extorting money from land applicants and stealing were his working tools while transparency and probity were thrown to the dogs.

“To perfect his corrupt practices, he replaced Isa Jalo as director of AGIS with a less qualified woman who failed to even manage his image laundering assignment. The woman was purposely placed there for a specific dubious plan which she is accomplishing with dexterity and pride while pretending to be upright.

“Contracts were awarded in the FCT without tender to Lebanese fronts while Bomoi handles the supply aspect of the malfeasance through proxy. Most plots of land in the city’s Central Business District were commandeered and sold to the highest bidders through fronts”, he said.

Mamu added that the APC administration should equally investigate the involvement of certain officials of EFCC who claimed to have investigated several cases of corrupt enrichment against FCDA officials including the minister and the director, Treasury, but only to ‘award’ them clean bills of health for business as usual.

“Part of the many scandals of the current FCT administration under the exclusive monopoly of the minister, his director of Treasury and the director Lands which was highlighted extensively in our book on FCTA under Bala is the case of purchase of vehicles/gadgets donated to the FCT Police Command and why it must be investigated. Also, the sale of parcel of land allocated to former AfriBank located at Central Business Area that was revoked but sold through the black market at N1billion.
