Nyako's Monumental Fraud: How Murtala Nyako (Buhari's main moneybags) defrauded Adamawa state funds

Below are unvarnished facts uncovered by our investigative team. 

On October 10, 2011 a petition signed by a good and responsible citizen alerted the Government of the criminal enterprise being run by General Murtala Nyako. The detailed petition alleged that since 2007 General Nyako mismanaged and misappropriated over N244 billion belonging to the state of Adamawa. The strategy being deployed by General Nyako included the shameless use of his children to launder money, setting up of the Special Programme and Project Unit (SPPU), the looting of Local Government and unprecedented inflation of contracts. For example General Nyako spent N3.5billion on the construction of the 7 kilometer Shagari Road.

Nyako is incapable of rising above “parochial sentiments and possesses morbid hatred for facts and truth in public discourse – Presidency blast Nyako

The Presidency has blasted the Adamawa State governor, Murtala Nyako  over his recent memo to northern governors, which was aimed at inciting the north against the government of Goodluck Jonathan, describing him as incapable of rising above “parochial sentiments and possessing a morbid hatred for facts and truth in public discourse. Reacting sharply to Nyako's memo on Saturday, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, described Nyako's memo as “an unmitigated leadership disaster and a sad betrayal of trust by a major beneficiary of the Nigerian nation.”

Murtala Nyako memo of lies and frustration: A call for the overthrow of Jonathan

The memo of Adamawa State governor, Murtala Nyako’s to the Northern Governors Forum by captioned “On On-Going Full-Fledged Genocide in ‘Northern Nigeria’, circulated on April 16, 2014 has been found to be packed with lies and twisted history, meant to cause disaffection and anarchy, that will lead to the overthrow of President Goodluck Jonathan’s government. In the memo Nyako exonerated Boko Haram (which he referred to as Phantom Boko Haram) for the various atrocities, which Boko Haram has claimed responsibilities for, and heaping virtually all of them on Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. Nyako stated that, “Cases of mass murders by its bloody minded killers and cut-throats are well known, but it attributes the killings to so-called Boko-Haram. Thousands of our young girls and boys have been kidnapped by clearly organised militia in the last few years and kidnapping is now a random affair all over the far North. These organized kidnappers must have the backing of the Federal administration for them to move about freely with abducted children just as those who convey ammunitions and explosives from the Ports to the safe-houses of so called Boko-Haram in the North.
