The Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to release the report of the Vice President Yemi Osibanjo – led committee on the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal.

He made the call while fielding questions from journalists shortly after handing over the documents of a newly purchased skill acquisition centre to the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) at Sabon Tasha, Kaduna.

Sani, who is also the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Humanitarian Crisis in the North East warned that any further delay to make the findings of the report available to Nigerians would tarnish the credibility, integrity and reputation of the current administration and that of the President in particular.

He added that keeping Nigerians in the dark over the panel’s findings posed a serious threat to the continued survival of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) beyond 2019 as he believes the fight against corruption should not be limited to people in the opposition parties alone .

“I am as worried as any meaningful Nigerian. I personally investigated the handling of the funds in the North Eastern part of the country.

“The Presidency also set up a committee headed by Vice President Osinbajo which also has completed its investigation and submitted its report , but it’s been months now that Mr. President came back to the country, nothing has been heard of it.

“That is why I said, I hope the report has not been eaten by rodents and the soft copy infected by virus , but if there is nothing of such, I believe Mr. President must seriously take action against this.

“And if he doesn’t, then the proverbial insecticide and deodorant will simply be applied. If we are serious about fighting corruption, it should be total; not only people that are far from us or people who are not in our party.

“Our President should know that his credibility is hanging till this issue is addressed and he has to address it very well. There should be no hiding place. There should be no immunity, as much as we have the will, the capacity to put the people from opposition to jail. . .we should also do that to people who come from the APC if they are guilty,” Sani said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

He added that the timely publication of the report would expose how people in exalted positions misused and abused their posts to enrich themselves to the detriment of the masses.
