ABUJA —The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for suspending Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Mr. David Babachir Lawal and Director-General of National Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ambassador Ayo Oke.

This came as Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, yesterday, urged the President to purge his cabinet of corrupt elements, saying “a lot of them have one mess or the other.”

Reacting to the suspension of the SGF and the D-G, NIA, General Secretary of the NLC, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, wondered why the Vice President should be the person to investigate criminal allegations against the SGF.
He said: “Well, we think that it is something that is positive.

There are those who will say that it has taken long, particularly the issue of the SGF. Well, government has now decided to suspend them and investigation is going on, it is fine.

“But what we don’t understand is how an administrative committee, chaired by the Vice President, will be investigating what is an alleged criminal offence.

However, whatever processes they have chosen to adopt, what is important is that they need to bring the facts before the nation.

“We need to know that there are no sacred cows and at the end of the day, we hope that justice will be done and citizens will be able to attest that justice has been done.”
On whether the president should extend the action to other political office holders having corruption allegations against them, Ozo-Eson said the normal practice was that people with established corruption cases against them should step aside.

He said: “Once there are allegations of corruption and there are prima facie cases established while such investigation is going on, the normal practice is that people step aside, or are suspended or they remove themselves from the process.”

Also reacting to the suspension, National President of SSANU, Comrade Samson Chijioke Ugwoke, said: “Should Buhari be serious with his anti-graft campaign, the Presidency should not be investigating the SGF and others.

“If somebody in the Presidency is accused of corruption, the usual anti-corruption agencies that investigate other ones, should also investigate the SGF. The Presidency should not investigate Presidency, nobody should be a judge in his own case.

Very correct

Is there anything like NLC? I don't think so. The last time I checked, they are political tool.

we were all here when the zombie association nairaland chapter where defending this grass cutter.

Nigerians were asking for probe, zombies said the man was as clean as klin. now he has been pushed aside, the zombies are trynna make it look like they've been praying for that.

when you remind them, they turn to mud rackers. they start throwing mud and fighting everyone lol

well we will always remind you guys
we will shove it down your throats.

This is Nigeria, a country where the masses are taken as fools. anything goes as long as it concerns the government so I don't expect that the efcc will investigate lawal. little wonder he asked who is the president.

Base on Logistic he hv d right when ur president is not around physically in Fayose's voice

Who's the NLC?

NLC still de exist?

Rubbish

NLC/SSANU just want to talk as if they dont want to keep quiet,no logical reason was started.

Goddex:
This heartless wicked APC govt want to do a cover-up and bury this matter.

What about DSS or EFCC arresting these people, handcuff them and throw them into Kuje like it happens to PDP people

God will heal U.

The suspended SGF and NIA DG will soon be among the heros of the born-to-cry community of wailers who must just wail over everything.

Nigeria comedy of the absurd

Agreed.
Why does this presidency always wants to be a judge in its own case?
I support an independent panel.
This suspension and corruption fight is all window dressing.

NLC is getting the mandate of the Osinbajo committee wrong. The committee is to investigate the matter and make recommendations to the president on administrative decisions to be taken as regards the case. If there is need for further criminal investigation and possible prosecution, EFCC will handle that after the administrative decision. People really need to learn how government works in this country.

It seems those who worshiped Osinbajo and licked his butt in the hope of driving a wedge between him and his boss have Now realised how hopeless that initiative was and are back to their default state of mind; HATE, HATE, HATE, hate everyone and everything around Baba.

Osinbajo is no longer bae to them.. Just look at their pitiable comments.

You are right, Osinbajo is not qualified to probe the suspended officials. Goatluck Jonathan and Mama Piss Sheppopo together with FFK and James Ibori are the ones qualified to probe them.

Dear senseless NLC, where were you when Goatluck Jonathan and the 40 thieves lead by the puff-puff cheeked world bank house-girl and ATM-Dasuki Sambo were looting and sharing our treasury? You fools didn't raise a finger then. Now, that Buhari is tracking down thieves, you people are now saying nonsense.

You don't seem to understand the basic principles of wailing.

A qualified wailer is insulated from common sense.

Nothing appeals to him even by his own self.

A condition for wailing is that you must be wretched, frustrated and living a hopelessly miserable life and you must have been indoctrinated with the mentality that Bubu is responsible for that.

Accordingly, you must just wail over anything related to Bubu with the hope that the pitiable conditions will improve one day.

Just check out most of them and their gloomy conditions.
