Former Presidential Aide to Muhammadu Buhari and Former Head Of Special Presidential Investigations, Chief Okoi Obono Obla was recently on the "Mic On Podcast" and he spoke about a lot of things.
"In his Words"
"There was this issue of stamp duties and some people have written, school of banking honors, it's an NGO in the banking sector. They had written out a petition saying that the bank had recovered over 38 trillion over the years for stamp duties and that this money had not been remitted okay. And they mentioned the former acting Governor of the Central Bank, you know when Emefiele was removed, an acting Governor was appointed. That man was the managing director of the Nigerian Banking System, that is a firm established by bankers in Nigeria you know".
"So they mentioned him and shortly after that, there was an announcement that he has been appointed as Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, so I wrote a memo informing President Muhammadu Buhari that how can you appoint somebody who we are investigating as Deputy Governor. So those were the two memo's I gave to ADC, so he kept it for one month and then one evening, he called me and said 'Mr Obla please I want to see you', so i went to the Villa and then he handed over those memo's to me and told me that the case is too hot for him".
"He told me to go and investigate other things aside the one in the memo, so I left. I was disappointed because I thought I have found somebody who could help me because I know I was in trouble, there was so much pressure on me you know and things were not going too well and I didn't have help from the government that appointed me, and they have not given me what I had asked for, so I was emboldened when the president told me to go and do my work", Chief Okoi Obono Obla said.
