President Muhammadu Buhari has
finally bared his mind on former Secretary to the Government of the Federation
(SGF), Mr. Babachir Lawal who was
sacked over corruption allegations…
“I don’t think that anybody that is being booted out is corrupt. I told you why I have to be careful. If there are strong allegations, people should come out with strong evidence like names of companies looted, contracts awarded, then, we take them before the court and ICPC and we have to trust the system and allow them to complete their investigation.”
“If we just arrest them and look the other way as we did in the military system…democracy is a multi-party system that does not approve that. So, if there is strong allegation, the government may ask people to go like the former SGF.”
