NLC declares Osinbajo not fit to probe Lawal – NLC

By

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has declared that Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo is not the right person to investigate the criminal allegations leveled against suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Mr. David Babachir Lawal.This declaration was made Tuesday by Peter Ozo-Eson, General Secretary of the NLC, in reaction to the suspension of Lawal and the Director-General of National Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ambassador Ayo Oke. According to him, he wondered why the Vice President should be the person to investigate criminal allegations hanging around the neck of the SGF.Ozo-Eson, while admitting that that the decision of the federal government to suspend the duo was right, he still saw no reason Osinbajo should be assigned to handle such sensitive case.“Well, we think that it is something that is positive. There are those who will say that it has taken long, particularly the issue of the SGF. Well, government has now decided to suspend them and investigation is going on, it is fine.“But what we don’t understand is how an administrative committee, chaired by the Vice President, will be investigating what is an alleged criminal offence. However, whatever processes they have chosen to adopt, what is important is that they need to bring the facts before the nation.“We need to know that there are no sacred cows and at the end of the day, we hope that justice will be done and citizens will be able to attest that justice has been done.“Once there are allegations of corruption and there are prima facie cases established while such investigation is going on, the normal practice is that people step aside, or are suspended or they remove themselves from the process.,” the scribe said.
