President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki says the issue of corruption levelled against Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal is a test to the corruption fight of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
Saraki stated this on Thursday, saying, “I know Nigerians are watching”, as he called on the FG to do the needful “in a government that is fighting corruption”.
Speaking further, Saraki said, “The President (Buhari) came here yesterday (Wednesday) humbly telling us that he seeks our partnership. Then how can his Secretary (to the Government of the Federation) said we are talking rubbish.
“The issue here is very serious because it borders on the integrity of this institution. Matters as serious as this should never be personalised.
“Yesterday, when we heard the president, the number one citizen of this country humbly telling us he is seeking cooperation of the National Assembly, and how can his Secretary tell us we are talking rubbish.
“The two conversations are not on the same page. We must protect this institution and it is not the kind of language and it is out of order if somebody has been accused of something, the way we should respond, and for him to say we are speaking rubbish, I think he is personalising the issues.”
