A Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for suspending the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal.
The Minister who spoke to PUNCH anonymously said the decision to suspend Lawal was part of the consensus reached at a reconciliatory meeting being held by the Presidency and the leadership of the Senate.
The minister said, “The President was advised to suspend the SGF because his issue was already giving the government a bad name.
“Apart from the fact that he is not known as a major part in the APC, he is also being seen as a cog in the wheel of the government anti-corruption crusade.
“Already, his issue has also polarised the party and the Presidency. So, in order to give a bite to the anti-corruption war, he needs to be suspended.”
