Ezekwesili said that Maina’s scandal, is “one scandal too many and the most lethal blow yet to a struggling anti-corruption agenda”.
In a series of tweet via her twitter handle, Ezekwesili said if President Buhari took “public confidence building measures on #MainaGate, #SGFGate, #NIAGate he may yet revive faith in his agenda”.
#MainaGate is one SCANDAL TOO MANY for Pres @MBuhari ‘s administration. The time has come for the President to OWN these SCANDALS & ACT.

There is no redeeming prospect in the COLOSSAL MESS made by officials of the FG in the #MainaGate. But, @ least START with FULL DISCLOSURE.
