Governor Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso of Kano State has accused President Goodluck Jonathan-led Federal Government of not being sincere over its defence of the seized $9.3m and another $5.7m by the South African government.
He said the seized money by the South African government under the guise of procuring arms and ammunition to fight insurgency, contravened established rules and guidelines.
The governor said it was a clear violation of the due process in the procurement.
Kwakwanso spoke in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday after the public presentation of two laws-Ekiti Magistrate Court Law 2014 and Administration of Criminal Justice 2014-by his counterpart from Lagos, Raji Fashola (SAN).
Fashola, who described laws and constitutionality as the bedrock of any nation, said the application of the Cremation and Public Health Laws gave the state a breakthrough in its fight against the Ebola Virus Disease that broke out in the country recently.
Kwakwanso, who had earlier inaugurated the Ire Burnt Brick Industry revamped by Governor Kayode Fayemi, said Nigerians must rise up to protect judiciary for the sustenance of the country’s democracy.
The governor said, “As a former Minister of Defence, I am very conversant with the way and manner, and the due process that is required to procure any arms, ammunition or equipment, there are rules and guidelines. Arms and ammunition are not rice and beans that you can just go to the market and purchase.
“Many of us were concerned when the information filtered in. In fact, we didn’t believe it initially, but along the line, based on the defence of what happened, we realized that it was a bitter truth that such a thing happened: that money of that magnitude in an aircraft flown to another nation, I think so many things have gone wrong. I think it is high time for the Federal Government to sit up to its responsibilities to ensure that things are being done correctly.
“Yes, we need arms and ammunition; yes, we need security in this country, but even under that circumstance, there are rules and guidelines that must be respected.
“While we are trying to tackle insurgency, we must follow the due process. Even in the operation there are rules of engagement; they are very important to protect the lives and properties of innocent people.”
Kwakwanso wondered why it took the Federal Government three weeks to accept that over 200 schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram in Chibok.
He said so many things were wrong under the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
“That is why we are confident that by 2015 the APC will take over because all that we have seen in insecurity, unemployment, education…There are so many schools closed down in the North. Our children cannot go to school because some are being stolen,” he lamented.

the kenkeso has spoken

If we are to count the amount of undiscovered funds that leave this country, some of us would weep blood.
For every $10million that is discovered 99 of them have passed without being detected.
This is the worst regime Nigeria has ever had

So kwankwaso forgot to take his cocktail of drugs yesterday, Oya mr man take it today and have a nice sleep. Then leave Oga jona alone because he no be gay

The standard has gone, rule of law is finished, due process is no more, corruption has been declared as being normal, stealing is no more seen as corruption, insecurity is part of system, terrorists now buy arms and ammunition for us, militants are now advisers to the president, campaign now starts a year before election through TAN and others( no respect for electoral laws), EFCC now arrests fishermen, ICPC, code of conduct bureau, etc are dead, so many atrocities .

Jonathan has successfully destroyed Nigeria but God will rescue us.

In the history of this country,I don't think we have had it so bad.unaccountablity,non_transparent,lack of rule of law and compliance wihh the constitution,above al the hydra-headed corruption that is a trade-mark in this administration.we need change Nigerians,Up APC nd God bless us all.
