The tenure of Chief Babatunde
Fowler, current Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service comes to an end
on Tuesday, December 10. And as expected, the race for the coveted seat has
begun. According to reliable sources, some powerful forces have been consulting
secretly for capable hands to run the affairs of the Establishment and among
them was onetime Executive Chairman Mrs. Ifueko Omoigui. Though she is reported
to have declined, the chase has been narrowed down to one Alhaji Barau and a
prominent northern lady with financial experience. According to further
reports, former Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode was mentioned, but
the source say his name may not fly due to his perceived standoff with a
powerful politician from his zone. A top source within government circles
however opined that somehow a new appointee would emerge before that December
10 date. Investigations confirm that the fate of the current chairman for second
term has been sealed.
How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent. However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total. The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice. Causing the rumble.
