They Want to Break Me, But God And History Vindicates The Just, Obono-Obla Breaks Silence

  • God and history shall always vindicate the just.
  • Even those who have stolen billions or contributed to the wrecking of the national economy are not treated with such indignity.

Former Chairman of the Special Presidential Panel for the Recovery of Public Property (SPIP), Okoi Obono-Obla has said that those behind his ordeal were bent on rubbishing him before the Nigerian public.

Speaking for the first time since he was relieved of his duties and his agency scrapped, Obono-Obla who said he executed his brief to the best of his ability wondered why those behind his ordeal were still after him having taken his job and declared him wanted for doing nothing wrong.

Obono-Obla, who stated his position in a message he posted on his Facebook page on Saturday evening noted that those who looted the nation’s treasury and crippled its economy are walking the streets free.

“What are these people after me? They took their job away, yet they are not done. They smeared me in the media; they framed me. They lied against me. They declared me wanted. What offence have I committed?

“Even those who have stolen billions or contributed to the wrecking of the national economy are not treated with such indignity — those who have corruptly enriched themselves.

“They just want to humiliate me. They want to break me. They want to demonise me before Nigerians. I am a true patriot of Nigeria. I did my job with utmost dedication, dignity, integrity and commitment.

“God and history shall always vindicate the just. Nelson Mandela was persecuted, prosecuted, dehumanised and imprisoned for 27 years, but he became a world icon.”

Obono-Obla was declared wanted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) after he repeatedly failed to appear before the commission to answer questions bordering on allegations of fraud and corruption.

ICPC had in a statement stated that there is are petitions accusing Obono-Obla of abuse of office, falsification of admission records, living above his income and collection of gratification from suspects under his investigation.

The anti-graft agency also stated that the suspended chairman is also facing allegations of working outside the guidelines governing the panel by investigating unauthorised petitions and prosecuting suspects without recourse to the office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF).
