Okono Obla citing cases of blatant protection of corruption by government.

Too much official money is not available at all for human welfare, or for public benefit.
No country can develop with this level of corruption.
Who can cite a single developed country anywhere in the world, with this level of corruption?

Okono Obla’s interviews with Channels TV.

Channels Television has conducted multiple interviews with Okoi Obono-Obla, a former chairman of the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property (SPIP) during the Muhammad Buhari administration1.

In a recent interview on the “MOM Podcast” hosted by Seun Okin, Obono-Obla discussed his time as SPIP chairman, his relationship with President Buhari, and the circumstances surrounding his suspension in August 20191. During this interview, Obono-Obla claimed his suspension was a “witch hunt” and denied allegations of fraud, forgery, and using his office for personal gain1.

Obono-Obla revealed that he faced significant challenges while heading the panel, including lack of government support and opposition from powerful figures within the administration1. He specifically mentioned confrontations with the Minister of Justice and claimed he was obstructed from investigating corruption cases involving high-ranking officials1.

Other Channels TV appearances by Obono-Obla include:

  • An interview where he reacted to the SGF’s suspension6
  • A two-part interview discussing the Nigerian Senate34
  • A segment where he criticized “lopsided” university governing council appointments2

Obono-Obla was eventually suspended in 2019, and according to Channels TV reports, President Buhari ordered the ICPC to “conclude investigation and prosecute” him8. The ICPC later declared him wanted and eventually arraigned him over alleged certificate forgery5.

The most recent interview with Obono-Obla was announced on Seun Okin’s X (formerly Twitter) account as a “Tell-All interview” about his role as adviser to President Buhari in charge of recovering stolen assets7.
