Buhari to determine SGF’s fate after investigation – Presidency
The Presidency on Thursday said President Muhammadu Buhari would consider both sides of the matter in the case of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Babachir Lawal, who was on Wednesday recommended for sack by the Senate.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said the President was a fair-minded person who would look at both sides before taking a decision.
“The SGF has defended himself. The President is very fair minded. He will look at both sides of the matter,” he simply said.
The Senate had at plenary on Wednesday called for the removal and prosecution of the SGF following alleged complicity in the diversion of the North-East humanitarian funds.
