A corrupt government fighting corruption.

Question of the day :
How do you fight corruption with corruption?

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose calls Buhari the grandfather of corruption in Nigeria, this comes with recent finding that the President has been shielding his men, family and friends from probe.
In recent developments, following the the fact released by the Committee on Audit of Defence Equipment Procurement in the Nigerian Armed Forces, and Dambazau's/Buratai's exclusion.
Major General Abdul rahman Dambazau (rtd) was Chief of Army Staff between 2008 and 2010 and the current Chief Of Army Staff, Major General Tukur Buratai served as Director of Procurements, Defence Headquarters, from 2012 till May 2015.

The question now is how does arms procurement go pass the Chief of Army Staff and Director of procurement?

This simple makes the claim by oppositions true.... Buhari and  his government doctored its latest arms panel and indeed makes feather of  Buhari's  song of Zero Tolerance for Corruption.

Buratai A Presidential Anointed

Virtually Every Nigerian has been calling for Buratai's probe. But Buhari maybe using the old familiar biblical quote "touch not my anointed... "

He can't be the angel Buhari says his appointees, friends and family are.

Nigerians been creative and calculative even have done the mathematics on his salary, savings, and possible expenses.
It goes as below 
.
.
Lieutenant General Buratai's promotion dates are:
.
Lieutenant (January 1985)
Captain (January 1989)
Major (January 1994)
Lieutenant Colonel (January 1998)
Colonel (January 2004)
Brigadier General (January 2009)
Major General (January 2012)
Lieutenant General (August 2015)
.
His salary structure :
.
Nigerian Army Salary Structure per month for
Commissioned Officers as at Dec, 2015
.
Second Lieutenant- N120,000
Lieutenant- N180,000
Captain- N220,000
Major- N300,000
Lt. Colonel- N350,000
Colonel- N550,000
Brigadier General- N750,000
Major General- N950,000
Lt. General- N1 million
General- N1.5 million
.
Note: The salaries were far less than the present structure. Former President Goodluck Jonathan approved the Review of the Consolidated Armed Forces Salary Structure (CONAFSS) in July 2010.
.
N115. 6million was alleged to have been paid for a property in Dubai. If the properties are two as reports allege, then we should be talking about N230million or more.
.
Assuming General Buruntai didnt touch his salary since he joined army till 2014 and using the current salary structure (which is much more that what he actually received), he should have the following in his bank as at January, 2014:
.
N8, 640, 000 as a Lieutenant
N13, 200, 000 as a captain
N14, 400, 000 as a major
N25, 200, 000 as a Lt. Col
N33, 000, 000 as a Col
N27, 000,000 as Brig. General
N22, 800, 000 as a major General
.
Total earnings by Gen Buruntai since joining the army in 1985 till January 2014 is much less than N144, 240, 000.
.
Now, being an award winning, globally acclaimed saver of the century, he might be saving up to 50% of his salary(which is practically impossible). That gives us less than N72, 120, 000.
.
And even has a disclaimer:

This amount cannot buy a house in Dubai let alone two. There are many grey areas to be addressed before drawing conclusions. With this, you can form your own opinion and draw your own conclusions but be warned that you are sorely responsible for any opinion or conclusion you draw from this computation.

From the calculation one doesn't need a suitsayer to conclude Buratai is fantastical corrupt, thanks to Buhari corruption must be battled, what Nigerian now await is how much of the presidential angels will face the war against corruption music Sai Baba Muhammad Buhari has been playing.

Meanwhile Buruntai has declared Sahara reporters, who brought his hideout to public notice TERRORIST!
