Under the Civil Service Rules and Regulations of the Federal Government, gross misconduct is when you arbitrarily utilise tax-payers money in order to attend an international meeting where the safety of your country against Boko Haram is the sole issue to be discussed, but together with your team, you missed that crucial meeting.
Gross misconduct is when with no single member of your team, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo of all people, attend a crucial United Nations General Assembly meeting on a matter that affects Nigeria and Nigerians, even though you were notified about this meeting several months ago.
President Muhammadu Buhari and his very “intelligent” team members must endeavour to return the money they expended on a journey having failed to carry out the main task for which they travelled to New York.
Nigeria is not Father Christmas. When you are paid for a service and you are unable to render that service because your performance was limited by old age or ineptitude, then common sense demands that you refund the money and thereafter, face disciplinary actions in line with your job specification/requirement.
We want our money back. Nigerians demand for the immediate reprimand of Buhari and others on the failed trip to UN General Assembly.
