Itse Sagay, Chairman,
Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, has said President
Muhammadu Buhari cannot give audience to embattled former Chairman of the
Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina.
Sagay described the ex- Pension
boss’ request to meet with the President as ridiculous and out of the question.
Speaking with Vanguard, on
Wednesday, Sagay also described Maina’s request as insulting to the country.
On Maina’s claim that his life
was in danger, Sagay said the ex-Pension boss should turn himself in to
security agencies.
He said, “The whole matter does
not justify such ridiculous request.
‘’His request to meet with the
President is out of the question. If every suspect has a whistle to blow and is
therefore taken to the President, I don’t think the President will have any
other job to do.
‘’Apart from the protocol and
status, it is even insulting to the country. He can talk to the EFCC, ICPC and
Police and if he wants a higher authority, he can meet with the
Inspector-General of Police. So, he does not need to get to that level at all
because nobody is going to allow that.
“The police are going to protect
him; he should go to the police or the EFCC. They are the best protectors, they
have armed officers, and they can keep him in a safe room or safe house.
‘’I don’t think that is going to
be a problem. He can easily call them and then negotiate how he would arrive
there and be kept safe.”
