The board, which is chaired by Osinbajo, was accused of illegally approving a N5.8 billion north-east intervention fund.
Also in
2020, the vice president was alleged to have collected N4 billion from Ibrahim
Magu, former acting chairman of the EFCC.
According
to report, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has revealed President Muhammadu Buhari
stopped him from requesting that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) investigate fraud allegations against him.
The house
of representatives ad hoc committee on emergency and disaster preparedness in
2018 indicted the governing board of the National Emergency Management Agency
(NEMA).
Osinbajo
described the claims as “baseless” and asked the former Inspector-General of
Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, to investigate the allegation.
Speaking
on Friday at a private dinner to celebrate Buhari’s 80th birthday, Osinbajo
said: “One day, I went to him because there were some allegations that were
made against me.
“I went to
him to show him the letter I’d written to the EFCC to investigate.
“This time
he said, ‘VP, why do you worry about all these people? These people just make
all sorts of allegations, they make all sorts of stories up, even they are
saying that I am about to get married again. And even some foolish people were
waiting at the National Mosque, waiting for me to come and marry again,”
Osinbajo said.
