President Muhammadu Buhari is reported to have rejected the resignation letter submitted by the National Security Adviser Col. Sambo Dasuki, on the grounds that he has to account for funds received under his tenure running into billions of dollars. Sources in the know revealed that the NSA’s plan to throw in the towel about a week ago met a brick wall as he was instructed to do a thorough financial house keeping.
A highly reliable source according to persecondnews.com said that President Buhari sternly told Dasuki that the resignation letter was ‘unacceptable. NSA had written a resignation to the President recently requesting to voluntarily step down as the country's national security adviser.
The credible Presidency source revealed that President Buhari's refusal to accept the resignation was prompted by investigation showing that huge sums of money are being unaccounted for due to improper filing of contracts papers under Sabo. The unaccounted funds is said to be in the region of more than $50 billion in which contract files were incomplete or could not be located at all,” according to a petition alert.
The findings according a presidency sources, the missing funds or evidence to show how they were spent, poses a “significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the NSA’s contract actions, said source.
Also echoed critics' concerns about spendings, and alleged lack of transparency and why billions of Naira were kept in a secret account with Sambo as sole signatory. The Presidency is also concerned about some deals coming out of the NSA’s office, especially the issue of $9.3m South African arms deal, and repeated reports that Nigeria was conned into a failed Boko Haram “ceasefire” deal to the tune of almost $500millil.
