The Presidency has hinted
that the panel that investigated the allegations against the suspended
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal and the
Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ayo Oke, may have
submitted its report to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, dropped the hint this
morning while featuring on the Sunrise Daily programme of Channels Television.
Babachir was investigated for
alleged violations of law and due process in the award of contracts under the
Presidential Initiative on the North-East; and Oke, over the $43.4m hauled from
a residential apartment at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos.
The Presidency had last Wednesday
assured that President Buhari would receive the report today.
But Adesina disclosed this
morning that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who headed the three-man panel met
with Buhari before the latter travelled to London for medical follow-up
yesterday.
The presidential spokesman
explained that the submission of the report might have "come up"
during that meeting.
"The vice president met with the president yesterday before he travelled. It is not unlikely that that (the submission of the report) may have come up," Adesina said.
He also stated that given the
reputation of the members of the panel, Nigerians should expect "what is
fair and just" from the report.
