Saleh Mamman stole ₦33.8 billion meant to build the #MambillaDam.
The dam that would have given Northern Nigeria 3,050 megawatts.
He was a Buhari man. From Taraba — the same state where Mambilla sits.
Appointed to fix #Arewa's power crisis.
He looted it instead.
Sentenced 75 years. In absentia. He's gone.
Which, in our #Nigeria, means -
"We have sentenced his shadow. We have imprisoned his ghost. But his body is at large and his money remains abroad."
The judge said: "Little wonder Nigerians have remained in darkness till today."
But the darkness in the North is not an accident.
It is not a resource curse.
It is not fate.
It is a policy.
Built by people who look like us.
Speak like us.
Pray like us.
And then steal from us.
In a few years, he may decide to contest for governorship in Taraba State.
#AllahGamuGareka
Yahaya Bello looted over #100b. The EFCC chairman swore to commit suicide if Yahaya Bello doesn't face a firing squad. Today, Yahaya Bello has been cleared to run for senate, where he would participate in making laws for a 'BETTER' Nigeria!
Nigeria is a calamity!
