Former Chairman of the Presidential Pension Reform Team (PPRT), Abdulrasheed Maina has revealed that he would help President Muhammadu Buhari fetch over N3trillion if given the opportunity.
Maina, who spoke in an interview with Channels Television, declared that he is interested in appearing before the ad hoc committee of the House of Representatives probing his reinstatement into the Civil Service while adding that many of those around the President are being insincere.
“I’m appealing to you Mr President, there are so many things people are not telling you; when I get to that public hearing I will tell you some things that nobody ever told you Mr President because I never had the opportunity to sit down with you.
“Thank God our president stands for the truth, the unfortunate thing is that some people around him whom he has given trust are lying to him; this one I can attest to and I can give you instances, I can give you documentary evidence.”
Maina further stated that he recovered funds for President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and even the current administration, and promised to provide information that would lead to the recovery of more money.
“Mr President, I will give you information and documents that will fetch you over N3trillion now in Nigeria, give me nine months. Within the first three months, I will show you N1trillion just like I showed you N1trillion in this 2017.
“Most people may not understand this but let me explain this to Nigerians because I want the truth to be told and I want Nigerians to understand the truth and know what is going on in Nigeria.”
He spoke about threat to his life and that of his family.
“Listen, I am not afraid of anybody, I am saying the truth. People portray themselves as if they are saints around the president; it’s a lie, they are not. We recovered as a team, N282billion cash. Aside from the N282bn, we were able to bring information and caught 43 pension suspects.
“They have threatened me, they have threatened my lawyer, they have threatened my brother, sister; they have threatened us all that I will be killed.”
Maina has already challenged the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to a public debate on the allegations against him over the missing of N2.1billion pension fund.
The controversy surrounding his reinstatement made the House of Reps summon the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun.
Others are Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita and Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu.
