SGF, Ikoyi cash: ACF asks Buhari to act on Osinbajo’s report
The pan-northern socio-political organisation, Arewa Consultative Forum, on Sunday asked President Muhammadu Buhari to expedite action on the report of the Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo’s three-man presidential committee that probed the suspended Director General of National Intelligence Agency, Ambassador Ayo Oke and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, David Lawal Babachir.
Other members of the Committee include National Security Adviser to the President, Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno(retd.) and the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN).
The committee was set up on April 19 and was given the mandate of turning in its report within 14 days.
The committee was to probe Oke for his connection with the $43.4m, £27,800 and N23.2m uncovered at the 7th floor of a four-bedroom apartment at Osborne Towers located at 16 Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on April 12, this year.

Baba Buhari might be slow in taking decision, but by the time he decides on what to do on the ex SGF and the Ikoyi cash, we will be shocked on the punishment he will mete on these people

Buhari is slow, but he’s never interested in this type of case, he will not do anything

…and very soon, nothing will be heard of the Ikoyi cash again because Buhari’s people are culprits who cannot be probed because they are presumed corruption free

We’ll be deceiving ourselves of we’re still expecting Buhari to do anything on the report. Buhari is never interested in digging deeper into any case, when He’s not Ripples Nigeria. I’m sure Buhari had since-forgotten about Osinbajo’s report

Buhari is faced with many challenges now, it may take time, but I’m sure he’ll still look into the report. This is a national issue that cannot be swept under the carpet

The fact is that Babachir can’t be the SSG again but I want him to be duly prosecuted and sentenced
