resignation over N19.8bln fraud
Contrary to the health reason cited as basis for his
resignation as National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu'azu,
actually quit his job to avoid prosecution for corrupt
practices.
A source revealed, yesterday that the presidency
had perfected plans to make the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) reopen
Mu'azu's file for prosecution before he suddenly
travelled abroad Mu'azu has a pending case with the
EFCC bordering on the alleged mismanagement of
public funds to the tune of N19.8 billion when he was
governor of Bauchi State between 1999 and 2007.
It was learnt that President Goodluck Jonathan
bowed to pressure from some of his aides to allow
EFCC prosecute Mu'azu following his resistance to
resign after he led the party to its first humiliating
defeat in 16 years.
