Former Secretary to the
Government of the Federation (SGF), Engr. Babachir Lawal, was on Wednesday
night seen at Aso Rock, Abuja.
Lawal was seen with Governor of
Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun amongst others at an event, tagged ‘Together
Nigeria’, held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja and organised by the Wife of
the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, jointly with the Buhari Support Organisation
(BSO).
This is the first time he would
be seen in the Presidential Villa, since his sack. President Muhammadu Buhari
was among personalities who graced the event.
The ex-SGF was said to have
visited Aso stock in support for the launch of the campaign group for the
re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 general election.
Recall that Buhari
had in October 30, 2017, sacked Lawal following the report of a three-man Panel
led by Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, that investigated him over alleged
irregularities in Presidential Initiative on North-East (PINE) activities.
But the Ex-SGF, who is still
being investigated by the EFCC, had insisted that nothing will affect his
relationship with the president.
“If the President were to be my
brother, does it mean we cease to be brothers because I am being investigated
by the EFCC? A relationship breaks because of a false accusation against an
innocent man?” Lawal said.
During the event, President
Buhari promised that party men and women who work hard for the victory of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 general elections will be rewarded
adequately.
He regretted that not all those
that worked for the party in 2015 were rewarded, but assured that more rewards
will come in 2019.
The President said: “Tonight’s
event, once again, reminds me of our political struggles over the years and the
support I enjoyed from many support structures such as The Buhari Organisation
(TBO) and Buhari Support Organisation (BSO).
“ I am happy that today, we are
not only celebrating our election victory, but our numerous landmark
achievements.
“I have listened and I
acknowledge with delight the story of BSO past, present and future from
previous speakers.
“To all those who contributed to
our successes in one way or the other, some of you are feeling disappointed
because… I assure you this time around hard work and loyalty would be rewarded
adequately”, he said
