The Presidency, has on Saturday night, stated that it is too early to sack two of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Ministers
, over their alleged role in the return and promotion of former PenCom Boss, Abdulrasheed Maina.
Buhari’s Anti-corruption Adviser, Itse Sagay, who spoke on behalf of the Presidency, said that the anti-graft war of the administration is “pure”, regardless of growing criticisms over the government’s handling of corruption allegations against top officials.
“People who are determined to find wrong, will find it no matter how pure the situation is”, Sagay said.
He continued: “Maina escaped out of this country under Jonathan. When he was sneaked back into the country, did Buhari know about it? The first time he knew, he ordered that the man is dismissed and arrested. What more do you want him to say? I think people are extremely unreasonable.”
Speaking further, Sagay faulted the demand that the Interior Minister, Abdulrahman Dambazzau, and the Justice Minister, Abubakar Malami, be fired for their role in the recall.
“These are early days. Inquiries are going on to find out the role of everybody. He is not going to fire anybody without getting all the sides. Do you know he even wrote the Head of Service? It is when the investigation is concluded, that you start hearing action being taken”, said Sagay.
Igberetv recalls, that Buhari had since on Monday, received a report on the process of the recall from Head of Service, Wilfred Oyo. However, he is yet to act on it. More later…
