Most Nigerians are watching with nostalgia events playing out under the present government, suggesting that things may have gone really bad that the Centre can nolonger hold.

Apart from the fact that those appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari, particularly, Ministers are flouting the rules of their own party, All Progressives Congress (APC) in still retaining their positions even after open declarations of intentions to vie for public offices, others are allegedly involved in raising public funds for 'humaniterian' activities.

They claim to be covered by the provisions of the constitutions of the the country regarded as supreme.

The impunity has gone to the highest level do much that Ekiti state governor and presidential aspirant under APC has promised to deal with rlthe scourge decisively when he's elected as the president of the country.

In an interactive session with Journalists, civil society organisations and other stakeholders, after his declaration, Fayemi blamed government's inability to "do what is right, and courage to take up 'principalities'. “ as part of the reasons for rising impunity at all levels of governance.

Three ministers, for now, Chris Ngige, Emeka Nwajiuba and the chief law officer of the country, Abubakar Malami have declared their intentions and many activities are allegedly either negatively happening in their ministries or are devoid of activities that would bring succour to most Nigerians.

For now, strikes have become the order of the day while the education sector is in comatose. Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) staff have vowed to continue with their strike, while our children continue to roam the streets.

In fact, the committee set up by the Federal Government to re-negotiate the 2009 agreements with ASUU and other university-based unions have submitted its interim report to the Ministry of Education.

Labour and Employment Minister  Ngige, who disclosed this yesterday, said the Education Ministry has already commenced work on the report.

However, hours after,  public university workers under the aegis of the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), said that their ongoing warning strike is now indefinite. The union said they had adopted a “No Pay, No work” stance in response to government’s “No work, No pay policy.”

The re-negotiation of the agreements is one of the demands of the four university-based unions….ASUU,   Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU),  Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) and NAAT.

Also, there are allegations that staff of Attorney General's office are being squezzed over alleged tampering with the list of beneficiaries of the presidential pardon by the government after approval by the National Council of State.

The full list of those pardoned are yet to be released apart from the two ex- governors, Joshua Dariye and Jolly Nyame, making speculations rife on likely external influences on the list as approved by the NCS.

More worrisome is also the fact that exotic cars have become utility vehicles for 'humanitarian' activities in a county where some workers, like those in Kogi state and even federal ministries celebrated the Sallah without the April salary.

But Nigerians are querying why a government appointee would be raising funds or associated with a foundation raising funds while still retaining his position and enjoying tax payers' money.

But, the Attorney- General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Malami, has refuted the allegation of distributing expensive vehicles to officials of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi.

Malami refuted the allegation on Tuesday in an interactive session with journalists in Birnin Kebbi.

He said “At this moment, I have experienced a barrage of attacks, left, right and centre, some are local and others international, an attack that has to do with an allegation that I shared many expensive vehicles to delegates of APC.
“As a person with some associates, neither I nor a friend of mine shared any vehicle to any delegate across the state.”

Malami described the story as mischievous and misconstrued.

“Let me state categorically that some of the foundations, as Khadi Malami and Khadimiyya for Justice and Development Initiative I am associated with over time, have workers who have demonstrated a greater capacity in the development of the state.
“These associations have contributed immensely in poverty alleviation, provision of social amenities to remotest areas, empowering unemployed youth and women, as well as small and medium scale farmers and businessmen and women, among others, in the state.

“In appreciation of what the workers of the associations have been doing in the state and beyond, the supporters of the associations, collectively and individually, decided to solicit for support from well-meaning Nigerians that have been supporting the NGOs in order to reward those that have been manning the affairs of the NGOs,” he said.

Malami explained that it was his friends and associates who donated and distributed vehicles to long-term workers in the Khadimiyya Foundation.

“I know I had an interactive session with APC stakeholders some days ago and had accepted calls from Kebbi people to run for the state governorship; the meeting was not for distribution of vehicles to any APC stakeholder.

“None of the APC stakeholder or delegate in Kebbi State was given any vehicle by me, and I have not yet donated any vehicle to any delegate.

“The mischief makers can contact the National Secretariat of the APC, get the lists of all the APC stakeholders and delegates in Kebbi State.

“You too can do an investigative story to reach out to them, then you will realise how fictitious the claim is.

“There is no connection between the names of APC stakeholders and the beneficiaries of the vehicles and are not connected whatsoever,” the minister pointed out as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN). 
But some stakeholders have called on the President to be decisive, rather than 'keeping mute' and allowing appointees to be 'behaving the way they like', while still holding on to their positions.
