Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s President, has stated why he relieved Babachir Lawal, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, of his duty.

Mr Lawal was sacked in 2017 following the recommendation of a three-man panel headed by Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President, which investigated the allegation against the former official.

He was alleged to have awarded contracts worth N500 million through the Presidential Initiative on North-East, a rehabilitation programme under his office, to a company in which he had interests.

Speaking on Wednesday at a town hall meeting, tagged: “The Candidates,” organised by the MacArthur Foundation in collaboration with NTA and DARIA Media in Abuja, Mr Buhari said he terminated the appointment of Lawal because the allegation against him was a strong one.

The president stated this while responding to questions on why the oust SGF was seen campaigning for his re-election instead of being behind bars for the crime he allegedly committed.

Buhari said unlike during the military regime, he has to be careful not to arraign those accused without evidences.

“That is not fair criticism of the government. I do not think there is anybody that is being pointed out as corrupt in this dispensation which we looked the other direction,” he said.

“I told you why I have to be careful.

“The public should help us.

“If there are strong allegations that are backed up with evidences, bank accounts, names of companies floated and contracts awarded, then we will take them before the courts through the EFCC and ICPC and we have to trust the system and allow them to complete investigation.

“If we just take people, in as we did during the military, and lock them up, the present democracy, a multi-party democracy, does not approve of that.

“If you accuse any person, you have to provide evidence in court for him to be prosecuted.

“So, if there is strong allegation, the government may decide to ask people to go, like in the case of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, we asked him to go.

“The matter is already before the EFCC and I believe that a directive has been issued to charge him and all persons who have cases before the EFCC,” the president said.

Buhari who said his administration would not tolerate any form of corrupt practices from any quarters, advised those making allegations to be able to provide evidence why those they are accusing should be prosecuted.

The last 24hrs ha been really entertaining..

Buhari is a disaster, a disgrace to humanity.

Buhari the man of integrity



God bless you sir.


No need to argue with IPOB pigs, their opinion is irrelevant in Nigeria politics.

Any prosecussion after the sacking?

jst watch as some zombies will come and support der lifeless dullard on this. Jst like d one above me


















#zombified brain.

My president

At this point I must commend those saddled with the responsibility of cleaning up after this knuckle head. It must be really challenging!

Defending this man is just a mission impossible. Just one interview with his sidekick and we’re having all these revelations. This man should be interviewed alone so we know the true state of things. As someone said “he was debating himself and still lost”

ATIKU/OBI is the only option. If they get it wrong, we’ll vote them out again.

U

Oga, no need to explain..........we are fed up with thy arrzse......back to Daura is a project that we must defend the thesis & finalize the project.....

isoright

APC... Yeye dey smell

God bless you my president...

The allegation was strong enough for you to sack him after many months, but not enough to prosecute him?


At least, you did not gift him a senatorial ticket of APC like Jonathan did in PDP with Stella Oduah and the convicted DSP Alamieyeseigha.

One day, we would have true men of integrity who would be ruthless with corruption.

This man called Buhari should go home and rest Abeg.
I know BMC will believe his lie

my brother forget university degree is just a worthless piece of paper that oozes of entitlement and false hopes.

How did we end up with this low IQ bovine as presidiot?

Osibanjo was chairman of the panel set up to probe Babachir and also the Ikoyi billions (this was already an aberration as this role is provided by law to be handled by investigative authorities).

Nineteen months after, Osibanjo is yet to release to the public the report that made Babachir's sack mandatory, neither does the public knows who owns.the Ikoyi billions.

The obvious questions are:
1. Why has Osibanjo not released the report he promised to release when completed?
2. Why was Babachir sacked?
3. If Babachir was sacked because he was found guilty of criminality, why has he not been prosecuted?
4. Who owns the Ikoyi billions?
5. If the Ikoyi billions were owned by someone in the opposition parties, would the owner have been typically revealed?

Do not be fooled. They are all willing participants in these criminal enterprises.

I thought you were making sense until you start being tribalistic with your last sentence.

Say NO to corruption

This man is too democratic......in Nigeria democratically elected government, fighting corruption is like chasing a shadow... May be military head of state will be better.

That is a shallow response. You had a committee headed by the vice president indict babachir and yet he is roaming free a, not investigated by efcc or icpc. Asking Nigerians to provide proof is an indictment on all our intelligence and investigative outfits.

And he isnt even trying to distance himself from the guy who is campaigning for him.
