The President has been lambasted for shielding people alleged to be corrupt in his government
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal
President Muhammadu Buhari has written the Senate re-submitting the
name of Ibrahim Magu to be confirmed as the Chairman of the Financial
Crimes Commission. He also cleared the acting EFCC chairman of
corruption charges leveled against him.
Also, the President asked the Senate to clear Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal of the charges levelled
against him.
In the letter read by Senate President Bukola Saraki, Buhari said
Magu and Lawal were cleared of corruption in a report by the Attorney
General of the Federation.
But Senator Shehu Sani has challenged the report clearing Babachir
Lawal as he said the content of the letter from Buhari are made up of
lies.
"Everything in that letter is a lie." Sani told the Senate.
He added that Babachir Lawal was invited before the committee and
his secretary received the letter and acknowledged receipt. Sani further
noted that three adverts appeared in three newspaper where Babachir
Lawal and others connected were also invited.
He further revealed that he will make available a copy of the
invitation letter sent to Babachir Lawal to the clerk of the Senate.
