00:05:36allegations of briberry and forgery, whispers of fake
00:05:40agency with an office talked inside. the federal
00:05:43secretariat, even a suspicious budgetary allocation. The
00:05:47revelations ignited the stump, sparking fierce debate across the
00:05:51country and leaving citizens questioning how deep the rot
00:05:54might run. On July the
00:05:587th, President Bolatinu ordered the independent corrupt
00:06:02practices and other related offenses commission to carry out
00:06:06toral investigation into what he termed fictitious

00:06:44promotion council was never established by any
00:06:48law or executive order or other valid
00:06:51instrument of governments and also our internal report
00:06:55found that there are weaknesses in
00:06:59verification, interagency oversight and
00:07:02government processes that we
00:07:05discovered that those
00:07:09weaknesses were exploited by
00:07:14with some level of negligence and conivance. He also
00:07:17outlines their recommendations should
00:07:21be prosecuted. Two, administrative sanctions
00:07:25be imposed on public officers whose acts
00:07:29of omissions, omission and negligence facilitated
00:07:33the illegal operation of
00:07:36Pfipc/peec, because our
00:07:39investigation found that some public officers.
00:07:43"they failed to do diligence and they failed to
00:07:46adher with the standard procedure of procedures
00:07:50that are supposed to be complied in their ministries
00:07:54and departments. on the issue the alleged bribe,
00:07:58whether we have interacted with yes we
00:08:01did, is among the person
00:08:04that uh we have interacted with, we have taken
00:08:08statements and what he have told us we have noted it
00:08:11and we..." have drawn our own
00:08:14findings on that and also like i say we are going on with
00:08:18the uh investigation which is criminal
00:08:22investigation which we are trying to round up and see how
00:08:26we are going to uh file the charges and for the issue
00:08:29of uh the 400 million i don't want to go into
00:08:33that allegation which is uh criminal once we
00:08:37finish everything when we are going to court people will see
00:08:41what uh uh
00:08:43we we discovered in our own investigation on
00:08:46that, according to the chairman the ICPC,
00:08:50investigations will continue into the activities of Mr.
00:08:53Dene and his collaborators so that criminal
00:08:57charges can be filed before a court of competent
00:09:01jurisdiction from the presidential

00:09:24diligence was indeed carried out. meanwile, the permanent secretary
00:09:28the state house has refuted claims that the budget code was
00:09:32generated for the agency. our national assembly correspondent Terry
00:09:35Kumy reports
00:09:36investigation into

00:09:56representative the permanent secretary the state house, responding to public
00:10:00concerns around generation of a budget code for the alleged fake
00:10:04council (PFIPC).
00:10:08clear that we did not
00:10:10send any correspondence. or any request to the office
00:10:14of account general
00:10:15in respect of this uh
00:10:18council, we don't even know anything about this council, we never heard
00:10:22about this council until we started seeing
00:10:26it uh in the media, on the news. Mr.
00:10:30Edris also reacts to claims that the correspondants was sent to the
00:10:34accountant general from
00:10:35the state house signed by one Mr. Kombia Dewali who
00:10:38claimed to be the director of admin and support services. In
00:10:42State House, there is no any
00:10:45department that is named
00:10:48directorate of administration of support services, we have never had
00:10:52that, it's only department of administration.
00:10:56and thiswali has never
00:10:59ever been a director administration in state house.
00:11:03Mr. Idris admits fairly on the part of government agencies as

00:14:06need for informed dialogue and continuous professional engagement remains
00:14:10essential to preparing officers for the changes in Nigeria's
00:14:13policy and architecture. We are leading hundreds
00:14:17of officers who must be told
00:14:21about the state police, who must be educated about the state police.
00:14:26to avate their fears, because the are fears

00:21:12The Nigerian democratic Congress, the NDC says
00:21:16it's members the party who lost out in the last primary.
00:21:20Elections must look at the bigger picture of a Nigeria that works for
00:21:24everyone and not a select few as is currently being experienced in
00:21:28the country. Speaking at the inauguration the committee in Abuja, the
00:21:32chairman professor Pato Tomi appealed to all agrieved party members to appear

00:21:50and so I come to this assignment bearing that in
00:21:54mind, and I begin by reminding myself of

00:22:01often say, and the South Africans capture it best,
00:22:05the Ubun to concept, I am
00:22:09because we are, the
00:22:12tendency to focus on self, this
00:22:16narcissism that's eating up our political space.
00:22:20has prevented us from remembering who we are as
00:22:23Africans and recognizing that we
00:22:27are, we all have the possibilities of thriving because the
00:22:31collective thrives. if we would just
00:22:34bear that in mind, we will see the need
00:22:38to reconcile differences. these are small things
00:22:41compared to the greater good that is out there that we can claim as a
00:22:45people. we're calling out to all, all all of our
00:22:48compatriots. people have been hurt in different
00:22:51ways, but the greater good will
00:22:55profit you just as a profes those who
00:22:59may be put on code temporary winners,
00:23:03together we can bake this bigger cake that
00:23:06can lift our country and ultimately our
00:23:09continent out of where it is, we owe
00:23:13it to our children to this continent for Nigeria to become
00:23:17that leader of this flying gees. "and
00:23:20our divisiveness has
00:23:23for too long prevented us from claiming and executing that
00:23:26role. The
