Chairman, Senate Committee
on Federal Capital Territory, Senator Dino Melaye who spoke to journalist in
Abuja yesterday February 10th, said the probe will not exempt any former
Minister of the FCT or President, adding that as a government of change, it was
prepared to send any one found guilty to Kuje Prison.
The Senate Committee on
Federal Capital Territory has vowed to probe former Presidents Olusegun
Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan as well as former ministers of the FCT and now
governor of Kaduna state, El Rufai, over allegations of Land grabbing during
their tenures in office.
Melaye alleged that former
FCT ministers allocated green areas designed for flood drains, city buffers,
recreations, urban farming, reserved land and undevelopable areas to themselves
and their friends.
“With this administration
of change, it is no longer going to be business as usual. Permit me to remind FCT
administration again by stating that this committee will not hesitate to ensure
that all administrative anomalies, misappropriation of funds or misapplication
of laws as the case may be, occasioned by the past administrations of FCT, are
fully addressed.
This is what justice
demands in these circumstances; to right the wrongs. Therefore, the committee
is worried and frowns on satanic and misleading advice and recommendation to
convert very important and beautiful natural endowments or features which are very
scanty like the world acclaimed Maitama Hills, popularly known as Ministers’
Hills, which could serve as a tourist attraction to the residents of FCT. I
want to state here again that if the bourgeois of this country need a special
allocation, a new district can be dedicated to them and not destroy the beauty
of the city centre, a national monument like the Maitama Hills.” he said.
O K NOW. OK Probe them & stop wasting time. They are Nigerians.
