According to a Facebook user known as Merlin Brown Kwameh who posted on our page’s timeline concerning the sack of Obono-Obla, SA to President Muhammadu Buhari. The post reads a follows:
Facts have emerged as to why former
Special Assistant on Prosecution to the
President, attached to the office of Attorney
General and Minister of Justice, Chief Obono Obla was relieved of his previous office.
According to an impeccable source in the
office of the Attorney General, Obla was
indeed sacked over what Presidency termed
crass incompetence. Regarded as an outright demotion, the president yesterday moved Obla, described as intemperate to the Nigerian communication commission as a non-executive commissioner.
It was gathered that Buhari took the decision to remove Obla from the presidency when it became apparent that the rambunctious and combustible former Special Assistant from cross river was a complete ignoramus when it came to issues of law.
“The president was shocked to realize that
Obla knew next to nothing about law. Besides, he was also getting into needless show of power with the Attorney General and minister for justice,” a source in the presidency volunteered.
The development has raised further doubts
about obla’s academic record, which has come under serious scrutiny in the past. In the same vein, the source further disclosed
that the President was very peeved that Obla was very notorious in instigating staffers of the ministry of justice against the AGF.
The president is said to have become very
uncomfortable with Obla when it became
apparent that he was using his office for
vendetta, instigating EFCC to go after innocent people he had personal issues with while protecting other corrupt elements like Jeddy Agba a former staff of NNPC who fraudulently made fortune from the nation’s petroleum agency because of the continuous patronage he gets from him.
Also, the Presidency is said to be particularly angry and scandalized when investigation revealed that Obla was engaged in fraudulent practices with the hiring of lawyers by the ministry in its prosecution of cases of alleged corrupted persons.
Sources at the presidency further disclosed
that Obla was in the habit of demanding 30
percent from the various law firms before
engaging them for the the federal
government. The development was said to have embarrassed and rubbished the President Buhari war on corruption, leading to the international community insinuating that the government’s war on sleaze was more of lip service and only against opponents of government.
It is further understood that the president
was embarrassed by Obla’s recent outing on Channels TV where he made more enemies than friends for the president.
