The Nationwide Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has submitted a petition to the Senate in regards to the deliberate screening and affirmation of Murtala Aliyu Kankia, the Katsina State consultant for the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The petition, dated February 10th, 2023, was addressed to the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions, Senator Ayo Akinyelure of the PDP Ondo Central.
The NYCN has requested that the committee halt the screening and affirmation of Kankia because of the contravention of the 1999 Structure.
The petitioners argue that, in presenting Kankia’s title to the Senate, the president violated the 1999 Structure of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which prohibits members of political events from holding such positions.
The NYCN claims that Kankia resigned from the CCB to contest within the primaries for the ticket of the Home of Representatives below the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), which signifies his political affiliation and potential for political affect.
The NYCN has referred to as for Kankia’s nomination to be rejected and for the Senate to conduct a radical investigation of the Code of Conduct Bureau’s actions. The petitioners have promised to defend the petition in entrance of the Senate.
The petition learn, “We write on behalf of the management of the Nationwide Youth Council of Nigeria, the umbrella physique championing the reason for the Nigerian youths and our associate Civil Society Teams that function the conscience of the nation on the above subject material to attract your consideration and expedite actions that can forestall the collapse of a big public service establishment because the Code of Conduct Bureau.
“Within the build-up to the 2023 political Get together primaries elections, some members of the Code of Conduct Bureau resigned to contest elections. Amongst those that resigned is Barr. Murtala Aliyu Kankia who contested below the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) within the primaries for the ticket of the Home of Representatives. By Barr. Kankia’s full and correct participation within the stated primaries, it’s confirmed past any iota of doubt that he not solely is a member of a political Get together – the All Progressives Congress – however will all the time be influenced by political concerns having participated at such excessive degree of political horse-trading.
“On the heels of the aforestated and the sacrosanct provisions of the Structure of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the related Public Service Guidelines that we herein draw your patriotic consideration to the nomination of Barr. Murtala Aliyu Kankia. Barr. Kankia’s nomination incontrovertibly falls in need of provisions of Sections 153, 154, and 155 of the 1999 structure of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the third Schedule thereof. The only function of Barr. Kankia’s resignation was to allow him to contest elections as a card-carrying member of the APC and his resignation additionally got here on the grounds of ethics as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari that Public Workplace holders shouldn’t be drawn to the murky waters of politics – a situation that can play out is that this nomination is allowed to scale by way of.
“This revered Committee may recall that the case of Barr. Kankia is akin to that of Mrs Lauretta Onochie whose nomination as a Commissioner of the Unbiased Nationwide Electoral Fee was extensively criticised, opposed and rejected by Nigerians. Subsequently, the Senate stood for honour and safeguarding our sacred Structure and nationwide ethics by not confirming that nomination. The Code of Conduct Bureau is an much more delicate physique than the INEC by way of tolerance to any type of bias seeing that it governs and displays the Conduct of all Public Officers all through the odyssey of their respective companies. Imperatively, all members should be balanced and neutral. The identical can’t be stated of Barr. Murtala Aliyu Kankia on this occasion.
“Moreover, the data present that Barr. Murtala Aliyu Kankia did compromise on a number of vital circumstances whereas he nonetheless held Workplace as Commissioner in control of Investigation, Intelligence and Monitoring. His appointment requires questioning having sabotaged many petitions dropped at the Bureau by Nigerians. Outstanding among the many compromised circumstances are:
“The case of the erstwhile Accountant Basic of the Federation – Mr Ahmed Idris. The matter was introduced earlier than the CCB in 2019, thorough investigations had been made, and findings established the truth that Ahmed Idris had abused public workplace and used similar to amass billions. This investigation by no means noticed the sunshine of day because it was swept below the carpet below Barr. Kankia’s watch. It solely took the eagled eyes of the EFCC to unravel the seething crime two years after.
“The case of Regina Dominic is one other very sorry episode wherein the whistleblowers who uncovered the stealing of Public funds by the stated Regina Dominic had been persecuted, which hunted and jailed because of the compromise from the investigative division of the CCB.
“On moral grounds, it’s established that a number of excessive profile circumstances had been by no means charged to the Code of Conduct Tribunal for correct prosecution. That is traceable to the Commissioner in a cost of Intelligence, Investigation and Monitoring who performed lively roles in sabotaging transparency and equity. It stays to be seen that the repute, integrity and performance of the CCB shall be extra deeply impinged upon if the nomination of Barr. Murtala Aliyu Kankia is allowed to face.
We, subsequently, pray the Senate throws out the Nomination of Barr. Murtala Aliyu Kankia; Conduct an in depth investigation on the actions of the Code of Conduct Bureau as to why the Company has remained comatose in current occasions.
“We will be obtainable to defend this petition always. Please settle for the assurances of our highest esteem and fervid help for nationwide improvement.”
