President Muhammadu Buhari has recalled the Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, Prof. Usman Yusuf, who was suspended by the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole.
Yusuf is being probed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, as he was accused of misappropriating N919m.
Nigerians who seem displeased with Yusuf’s reinstatement have taken to Twitter to express their anger over the situation.
See some of their tweets below:
Prof Isaac: Can you see what Baba has done?
Prof Osi: Kayi hakuri Isaac.
Prof Isaac: But sir you know that NHIS boss is corrupt naw pic.twitter.com/uWYYBw24dT— A.A Nabage (@anas_nabage) February 8, 2018
This President Muhammadu Buhari's government is a JOKE. Minister of health, Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole suspended NHIS Director, Mr Usman Yusuf over allegations of gross misconduct, Sai Baba reinstated him while investigation is still ongoing.

By this reinstatement of @Usman Yusuf as NHIS Secretary, @PMB, president of the cabals, has slapped the faces of all Nigerians again. We'll have a president of Nigeria in 2019. pic.twitter.com/Z6DBMwYs9E

Fam, when it’s your turn to loot the treasury; I pray your case be like Abdulrasheed Maina and Professor Usman Yusuf. The Federal Government would defend you, EFCC would overlook you, ICPC would fall asleep, Police and DSS would guard you. In SaiBaba’s name I pray…

Buhari has reinstated Usman Yusuf to his NHIS position. If you still wonder how Maina got back into the civil service as Director, you are as vacuous as Buhari himself.
End of!

Buhari reinstated the Executive Secretary of NHIS Professor Usman Yusuf.
The minister for health has received a communication from the Presidential Villa today.
Prof Yusuf was accused of “corrupt expenditure” of N292 million.
Just like how Maina was reinstated. ?
Impunity! pic.twitter.com/Z6y2WavMNc

You're sitting there wondering what Health Minister Prof. Adewole is still doing in @MBuhari's cabinet. He sacks NHIS boss, govt reinstates him saying allegations of misconduct are largely unsubstantiated & Adewole's panel was "neither independent nor free from bias" @MobilePunch

Babachir Lawal: suspended pending outcome of investigation
NHIS boss: recalled from suspension while investigation is ongoing.
I honestly don't know what to say.— #YouthUnemployment/ OGP. (@okekecc) February 8, 2018
NHIS boss reinstatement shows @MBuhari lack trust in his Ministers and also level of irrelevance and caricature they are to his Govt. If truly integrity and shame reside in @IsaacFAdewole he should tender his resignation letter asap.@segalink @AdForumCo https://t.co/CpsZkKCqFQ

Lai justifying reinstatement of NHIS boss says he's still being investigated. In US aide accused of battery resigns so as not to tarnish image of POTUS. In Nigeria @AaoRock seems to be working against itself by encouraging people accused of fraud remain in office

@NigeriaInfoAbj
I'm really trying to understand your guest on the reinstatement of the NHIS boss.
It is Nepotic! Simple! I don't know what to learn from that approach from the President as the guest suggested?
Nigeria keep sprinting backward nnu?!??. Smh

I doubt if Fowler would be reinstated after being suspended, if he was accused of an allegation half the figure quoted against the NHIS boss.
There is no need to be naive, Nigeria is about influence. That is y Fidelity Bank to avoid sanctions 4 ML appointed a Northerner as CEO.
