Emerging reports reveal Osinbajo might have broken the bad news of Babachir Lawal's suspension to him before the Presidency publicized the message alongside that of the DG of the National Intelligence Agency, Ayo Oke.
Babachir Lawal
Lawal was meeting with the Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, in his office, when the Presidency suspended him.
There are speculations that the embattled SGF, was being advised about the decision and told not to take it personal with President Muhammadu Buhari.
It is understood that Lawal was reportedly suspended, because Buhari is perceived to be losing his fight against corruption, with some of his key appointees facing allegations from several quarters.
Osinbajo also told him pointedly that the outcome of the investigation will determine his fate.
Recall that statement signed by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina has announced the suspension of the SGF.
Last month, Lawal insisted he was innocent of the allegations leveled against him over the N1.3billion grass-cutting contract .
