Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District and Chairman
Ad-hoc Committee on Humanitarian crises in the Northeast, Shehu Sani,
has expressed disappointment at the presidency’s response to the
committee’s report.
Reacting to President Buhari’s position, exonerating the SGF,
Babachir Lawal of any wrongdoing in the award of contract in IDPs to his
company, Rholavision Engineering Services Limited, Sani explained that
something has gone wrong.
Sani said it amounts to using ‘insecticide’ when it comes to fighting
corruption in the National Assembly and Judiciary, while using a
‘deodorant’, when it comes to fighting corruption at the Executive arm
“Mr. President, Distinguished Colleagues, I rise through Order 43 of
Senate Rules and I want to submit that President Buhari’s reaction on
SGF shows the use of insecticides when fighting corruption at the
legislative arm, while he uses deodorant at the Executive arm,” he said.
Debunking claims that SGF was not given fair hearing before calling
for his resignation in report, Sani explained that a public hearing was
held, but the SGF did not honour the invitation which was given to him.
He also averred that copies of the report was signed by all the
members of the Committee, while expressing shock at the version without
his name which Mr. President relied on.
“Distinguished Colleagues, you realize that the copy which was read
to us did not carry my name even as the Committee Chairman and I wonder
where it emanated from,” he asked.
He insisted that the Committee did a thorough review of activities of
government officials involving coordination of IDPs, adding that SGF
remained indicted.
