EX-SENATE PRESIDENT LAWAN EXTOLS BUNI @ 56
From Lateef Taiwo
President of the Ninth Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, lauds the Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, for his significant strides in education, agriculture, healthcare and infrastructure development.
He commends Buni for improving the quality of life of Yobe citizens through his visionary leadership and strategic approach to governance.
According to the lawmaker who represents Yobe North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Buni’s passion for transparency and due process earned Yobe State the World Bank’s overall Top Performer Award on State Fiscal Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability (SFTAS) in Nigeria.
Senator Lawan, in a birthday message to Governor Buni, writes, “Your Excellency, I celebrate your 56th birthday anniversary with great joy and admiration. Over the years, you have shown exceptional leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the progress and development of our beloved country; and our dear Yobe state, in particular.
“Under your guidance as Governor, we have witnessed significant improvements in various sectors, including infrastructure, healthcare, education, and agriculture. Your visionary leadership and strategic approach have paved the way for a brighter future for all our citizens. Your purposeful leadership on the other hand has kept our party at the state level – the All Progressives Congress (APC) – united and even stronger.
“As a prudent manager of resources, your diligence as an astute administrator earned Yobe State with the World Bank’s overall Top Performer Award on State Fiscal Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability (SFTAS) in Nigeria. By implication, your incredible leadership positioned our dear state as a trailblazer in due process and transparency, when it comes to the conduct of government business and application of public funds.
“As we mark the special occasion of your birthday celebration, today, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Your Excellency. You have not only demonstrated excellent leadership but also inspire us all to strive for excellence and contribute to the betterment of our dear state.
“We are grateful for your selfless service and look forward to many more years of outstanding leadership. I wish you continued success, good health, and prosperity. Thank you for your dedication to the people of our great state.”
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
