Embattled
Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Dr. Abdulrasheed Maina, has
gone underground as it emerged that more than ever before, the manhunt
for him has intensified.
On
Thursday, Senators overwhelmingly supported the call for President
Jonathan to sack Maina as well as his arrest by the Nigeria Police. To
indicate its seriousness, the Senate gave the President 48 hours within
which to sack him or face its wrath.
Maina
who alleged that the Pension cabal was after his life and not just his
sack, Spoke from hiding yesterday. He embattled said, “I am fast losing
confidence in the country called Nigeria.
“Imagine, I have suddenly become a villain for saving the country billions of naira, being stolen daily by pension thieves.
“I’m
saddened, demoralised by the whole mess. It is baffling that the hunter
has become the hunted. It is simply ridiculous. How can one continue to
fight for the country and the poor pensioners, when the system is so
rotten to the effect that the thief catcher is being branded as the
thief?” he lamented.
“Already,
I have gone to court to redeem my name, save my team, with a view to go
further to expose the big names behind the cabal. But with what I have
seen so far, I doubt if Nigeria is worth dying for,” Maina added
