Babachir’s Suspension Vindicates Us – Senator

The senator representing Kebbi Central, Adamu Aliero, says the suspension of Babachir Lawal by President Muhammadu Buhari has vindicated the Senate that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) is corrupt.

Recall that the Senate Ad-hoc Committee on humanitarian crises in the North East had indicted Babachir of corruption, accusing him of swindling the Federal Government out of about N200 million in a “grass cutting” contract scam at the internally displaced persons (IDPs) camp in Borno.

Aliero, while speaking with newsmen in Abuja, said that the SGF’s suspension would help mend the already strained relationship between the executive and legislative arms of government.

“The suspension of SGF is a welcome development which will go a long way in mending fences with the executive.”

“The ad-hoc Committee on the humanitarian crises in the North East was very clear and without fault. For Mr. President to suspend SGF now has been the wish of the Senate,” Aliero said.
