....says corruption is contributing to the downfall of the Naira value
A Civil Society has asked President Muhammadu Buhari as a matter of urgency to immediately sack the executive chairman of Federal inland revenue services (FIRS), Mr. Mohammed Mamman Nami.
The group, Justice for all in Zaria during their swearing-in ceremony of it is new leadership observed with dismay the downfall of the naira and its value has depreciated.
The new Chairman of the association, Dr. Nurudeen Alkali worried over the state of the nation said Nigerians are no longer at ease, given FIRS as examples of the many that are helping in the skyrocketing lifestyle to the people who are now leaving a dollar per day.
H said it is compelled to join other patriotic Nigerians in calling on President Buhari to act fast and relieve the executive chairman, Nami of his duties owing to the near-total collapse of the country's economy.
Corruption has infiltrated the entire system of the agencies that will stabilize the Naira value and FIRS as one of the economic backbones under Mamman's watch has failed in rescuing the naira value.
He revealed that from January this year it is a steady decline in the Nigerian currency from bad to worst an incidence that the place can not be well managed by Nami.
"It's better to relieve him of his duties and brings a competent person to rescue us all because the naira devaluation has turned Nigerians miserably human beings and life is becoming unbearable with excruciating pains.
" For God's sake this is our country and nothing seems to work? Does nobody seem to take reasonable of what is going on? I stand here to speak out, speak up for our organization's efforts in rescuing the Nation, and told truth to power.
"By now we thought agencies like FIRS, CBN, NNPC, and our corruption fighting agencies like EFCC, ICPC will braze up in pinning down the loopholes and elements who are untold hardship to Nigerians.
" One of the weaknesses of President Muhammadu Buhari is failure and inability to sack these people called enemies of the nation, under his watch they are bringing the life of penury to the people whose mandate and trust are betrayed, destroyed in the interest of a few Nigerians," Alkali said
He continued to say that Mamman over the years on resuming on board as the new Executive Chairman promised to mob up revenue that will increase the internally generated revenue of the country, but the area is being bedeviled with corruption as the best way to manage it.
He however said Muhammad Nami may be facing a force bigger than him that FIRS is not working the way it should but employ him to honorable resign if forces are using him as a cover to mortgage Nigerians.
He said because of corruption in places like FIRS today's security networks, particularly the unprecedented level of kidnapping and killing of Nigerians in the Northwest and other parts of the country are at an alarming rate.
Nurudeen while reading his statement to work in the interest of all Nigerians as the new leader of Justice of all said the group will join with coalitions to fight against the ineptitude of heads of organizations in the country.
in his statement made available to newsmen said the continued stay of Mohammed Nami as the Executive Chairman of FIRS despite the failures of his office in stabilizing the Naira against the dollar has continued to undermine Nigerians' standard of living.
The ripple and the nexus of all these are the continued security threats, arch poverty, and poor standard of living being experienced by Nigerians and the result can be devastating if not well managed.
The group insisted, that if President Buhari refuses to do something urgently, the progress being made by the armed forces, stands to be negatively affected, and is bound to be eroded by Nami's and others heads of agencies 'gross incompetence.
The group noted that to avert a further collapse of the nation's security, patriotic citizens of this country are asking President Buhari to without further delay, sack Nami and immediately replace him with someone with the needed intellectual capacity, competence, and courage to put the nation’s economy in check
The group reminded the President of his pledge to tackle the problem of naira to be equal to a dollar during his 2015 campaign days, and it is, therefore a travesty that the continued stay of people like Namu in office, as the executive chairman of FIRS.
Alkali pointed accusing fingers at Buhari to have greatly failed Nigerians over his promises, and the commitment of his administration, to ending insecurity, stabilizing the economy, and improving the lifestyles of the people of Nigeria.
This is even as the group further accused Nami, of failing in his responsibility to cobble together all other parastatals under his agency in Buhari's administration in a manner that guarantees good life to all Nigerians.
