Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki |
Chairman, Senate Committee on Navy, Senator Isa Hamma Misau, has stated
that the Presidency should be ashamed that it is pushing the conspiracy
script that top officials of the nation’s security apparatus are working
for the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
Reacting to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) statement that debunked the allegations
credited to the Senior Special Assistant to the President (Political
Affairs), Babafemi Ojudu, that the EFCC was working in tandem with
Saraki, Misau said that both the All Progressives Congress (APC)
Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole and Ojudu, were spinning the same conspiracy
theory to hide the lack of coordination and discipline amongst the
security agencies.
“The EFCC’s statement confirms our immediate reaction that both Ojudu
and Oshiomhole have been reading from the same conspiracy script.
“Nigerians find it unthinkable that Magu, that the Senate refused to
confirm — whose EFCC has also prosecuted Saraki for over 3 years at the
Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) would now turn around and start working
for this same Saraki. How is this possible?
“These people think that they can just wake up, think up conspiracy
theories and try to sell it to Nigerians, but the public is smarter and
more discerning than their shallow fictitious narratives”, the Senator
stated.
Misau also stated that the APC and Ojudu should be ashamed of indicting the Presidency in such an explicit fashion.
“In any case, shouldn’t they be ashamed to even claim that the entire
internal security institutions in the country are working for someone
else other than the person that appointed them?
“Additionally, at what point did they decipher this? Was it before the siege on the National Assembly or after?
“What this goes to show is that in their desperate bid to blame
someone else for their crime and incompetence, these people no longer
have a sense of shame,” the Senator said.
Misau further amplified the call for an independent judicial panel of
inquiry into the National Assembly siege, stating that any other
investigation would be seen as biased and flawed in the eyes of
Nigerians and the international community.
“In this regard, we hereby reiterate the call for independent
judicial panel of inquiry into the invasion. Any other such
investigation into the matter would constitute another attempt by these
same people to present a biased perspective to the assault on our
nation’s democracy and its highest lawmaking body,” he added.
