Maina also said that he is ready to provide evidence that will clear him of all the false allegations levelled against him.

Maina, who spoke to Channels TV, said that the President is being deceived by the people around him.

The former pension reforms boss also said that he is ready to provide documentary evidence that will clear him of all the false allegations levelled against him.

“I’m appealing to you Mr President, there are so many things people are not telling you; when I get to that public hearing I will tell you some things that nobody ever told you Mr President because I never had the opportunity to sit down with you.”

“I recovered money for the last administration and I recovered money for this administration. Most people may not understand this but let me explain this to Nigerians because I want the truth to be told and I want Nigerians to understand the truth and know what is going on in Nigeria.

“Listen, I am not afraid of anybody, I am saying the truth. People portray themselves as if they are saints around the President; it’s a lie, they are not. We recovered as a team, N282billion cash. Aside from the N282bn, we were able to bring information and caught 43 pension suspects.

“They have threatened me, they have threatened my lawyer, they have threatened my brother, sister; they have threatened us all that I will be killed.

“Mr President, I will give you information and documents that will fetch you over N3trillion now in Nigeri, give me nine months. Within the first three months, I will show you N1trillion just like I showed you N1trillion in this 2017,” he added.
