The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Babachir Lawal, has come under the criticism of the Senate over comments credited to him wherein he slammed the Senate for linking him to the alleged diversion of the 223-million-naira meant for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the Northeast.
The Senate condemned Babachir’s comment saying it contradicts the position of the Buhari-led corruption government.
During the plenary session on Thursday, Senator Dino Melaye raised a point of order, bringing to fore some newspaper publications where the SGF described allegations leveled against him by the Senate olevelledsday as an attempt to rubbish his person.
The Senate had on Wednesday demanded the sacking of the SGF over alleged mismanagement of IDP funds.
Senate President Bukola Saraki described the SGF’s response as unfortunate.
“Yesterday we all heard the President, the one number citizen of this country, humbly telling us that he is seeking cooperation with the National Assembly.
“How can his Secretary now tell us we are saying rubbish? The two conversations are not in sync.
“Even if someone has been accused of something, there are ways in which he can respond, but to say that this is rubbish or we are talking nonsense; I think it is personalizing the issues.
“The issues here are very clear. We set up a committee, they did their work, nothing was doctored or created. The reports are very clear.
Saraki said that the resolution and documents of the Senate on the issue would be rightly communicated with the President for further action.
“The resolution we took yesterday, as being suggested today, would be communicated to Mr President with the supporting documents to show clearly where it is (especially in a government fighting corruption) that somebody in an executive position can award a contract to a company he is a shareholder of.”
