President Muhammadu Buhari has given hint when he will act on allegations leveled against his top two appointees.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal
The Presidency on Saturday said that President Muhammadu Buhari is waiting on the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN) investigation before he can act on allegations of corruption and abuse of power levelled against his two top officials.
This comes after news circulated that the President had sacked Magu. However, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina on Saturday revealed that Buhari is yet to received the report of the investigation by Malami to probe the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu; and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, over allegations of corrupt practices.
The same view was also maintained by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, who wrote on Facebook: “We are reading reports that the acting EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu has been sacked. No report has been made available to the Presidency by the Attorney-General of the Federation over the matter. The report of his sack is therefore speculative and preemptive.”
