New
details have emerged about the person thought to be behind the
plagiarized speech President Buhari delivered on 'Change Begins With Me'
campaign.
Presidents Buhari and Obama
A report by Premium Times has shown that the Presidency will this
week transfer a deputy director, out of the State House, Abuja.
The unnamed deputy director is the one blamed plagiarising U.S. President Barack Obama’s speech.
It will be recalled that the presidency had on Friday blamed the yet-to-be-named deputy director for the scandal that has embarrassed the Nigerian government.
“Already, a Deputy Director in the Presidency has accepted responsibility for the insertion of the contentious paragraph,” Garba Shehu, Mr. Buhari’s spokesperson, said in a statement on Friday.
“The Presidency wishes to state in the clearest possible terms
that it regrets this unfortunate incident and will ensure that this does
not happen again.
“This serious oversight will be investigated thoroughly and appropriate sanction meted,” he added.
The official will start facing disciplinary proceedings in
accordance with civil service rules today (Monday), presidency sources
said.
However, according to Premium Times, officials have revealed that
he will first be directed to vacate his seat at the president’s office.
The Permanent Secretary of the State House, Jalal Arabi, is
expected to query the official and then refer his case to the Head of
Service for further actions, our sources said.
The unnamed official has been blamed for tinkering with a speech
prepared for President Buhari, plagiarising a famous speech Mr. Obama
delivered when he was elected the first black President of the United
States.
