The Chairman
of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Professor Itse
Sagay, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the cabal in the
presidency.
He said they
have constituted themselves into a clog in the wheel of progress of the Buhari
administration, especially in the area of fighting corruption.
Sagay made
the call yesterday evening in Minna while responding to questions from
journalists shortly after delivering the convocation lecture of the Federal
University of Technology (FUT), Minna, Niger State.
The anti
corruption crusader said the cabals have no business being in the presidency
and indeed have overstayed their usefulness and as such they should be fished
and flushed out.
He however
declined to mention the cabals saying, “they are not helpful to the government,
everybody is complaining about them.”
Speaking on
the Maina saga, Sagay said those behind his recall to the civil service should
also be identified and punished, insisting that the matter had not been swept
under the carpet.
He said that
the problem with the former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on pension
did not start with the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, adding that
the government was determined to bring the problem to an end to the
satisfaction of all Nigerians.
In his
lecture earlier, Sagay enjoined Nigerians to support President Buhari and Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo if the country is to get to the promised land, describing
the duo as men of integrity whose type are not easily come by.
“Buhari and
Osinbajo have absolute integrity, if we don’t use them now I don’t know when
next we will have leaders like them. All my hopes are on Buhari come 2019.”
He however
said that the president should be firmer adding that “we need a little dose of
autocracy if we want to develop.”
