Former member of Niger House of
Assembly, Alhaji Ahmed Dogara, has admonished the President Muhammadu Buhari to
declare his position on the suspended Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal and the Director-General of the National
Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ayo Oke.
Dogara said this would send
signal to public officers to desist from looting public treasury.
Both Lawal and Oke were on April
19 suspended from office pending the conclusion of investigations by a panel
set up by the president.
The Vice President, Yemi
Osinbajo-led panel investigated allegations of contract fraud and bribery
against Lawal by the Senate and the $43m cash found in an Ikoyi apartment by
EFCC, claimed by the NIA.
Speaking with newsmen on Saturday
in Minna, the Niger State capital, Dogara said Nigerians are worried about the
“cases of SGF, NIA boss and the list of corrupt officers that nearly ruined
Nigeria which has remained unresolved.”
He said it was high time for the
Federal Government to act fast to enable Nigerians to strengthen their
political will in exposing public officers looting the national treasury.
“Mr. President showed, as he had
done now, that he can hire and fire to salvage the bad situation in the polity.
“President Buhari’s commitment to
fight corruption these years that made the majority of the masses to support
his candidature, is the same step that can earn this government votes in the
next election in 2019″ he said.
