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.
