Fresh facts have emerged regarding the suspension of Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal.

Lawal was meeting with the Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, in his office, when the Presidency suspended him.

There are speculations that the embattled SGF, was being advised about the decision and told not to take it personal with President Muhammadu Buhari.

It is understood that Lawal was reportedly suspended, because Buhari is perceived to be losing his fight against corruption, with some of his key appointees facing allegations from several quarters.

Osinbajo also told him pointedly that the outcome of the investigation will determine his fate.

Recall that statement signed by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina and made available to DAILY POST had announced the suspension of the SGF.

The statement reads: “President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered an investigation into the allegations of violations of law and due process made against the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr David Babachir Lawal, in the award of contracts under the Presidential Initiative on the North East (PINE).

“The President has also directed the suspension of the SGF from office pending the outcome of the investigations.

“In a related development, the President has ordered a full scale investigation into the discovery of large amounts of foreign and local currencies by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in a residential apartment at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos, over which the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) has made a claim.

“The investigation is also to enquire into the circumstances in which the NIA came into possession of the funds, how and by whose or which authority the funds were made available to the NIA, and to establish whether or not there has been a breach of the law or security procedure in obtaining custody and use of the funds.

“The President has also directed the suspension of the Director General of the NIA, Ambassador Ayo Oke, pending the outcome of the investigation.

“A three-man Committee comprising the Hon. Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, and the National Security Adviser, headed by the Vice President, is to conduct both investigations.

“The Committee is to submit its report to the President within 14 days.

“The most senior Permanent Secretary in the SGF’s office, and the most senior officer in the NIA, are to act, respectively, during the period of investigation.”

Last month, Lawal insisted he was innocent of the allegations leveled against him over the N1.3billion grass-cutting contract .

Something is wrong somewhere..... why did the President clear him when those allegations came out.

There is a black head in his inner circle.

Must you use big vocabulary? There is nothing like "gerontocracts".

"Deluded youths"like me indeed.

Gerontocracy is a government by elders in terms of actual age. The average age of the ruling class is higher than that of the general population. You have gerontocrsts if this condition is met.

Google it. See examples in USSR (Politburo), Ayatollahs of Iran, etc.

Do the math, then ask youself: are youths well represented in the Nigerian government?

Are we not a Gerontocracy? Technically, no, because we voted these guys into office. But otherwise? Yes.

Deluded Youths like you will think the emancipation of Nigeria from these foolish and corrupt gerontocracts is a fight and competition between Buhari and Jonathan. You obviously can't see beyond your nose
Brother how is he deluded? He merely pointed out a fact that is in many people's minds. If Jonathan had done a little and this present regime does a little and the next regime followed up, then Nigeria will surely get better, one step at a time

He most probably coined it from gerontocracy. (he only needed to have applied the quotation mark) Word(s) coinage is acceptable in writing.
Just explaining, not taking side.
