SGF, NIA boss’s suspension: Timi Frank calls for more
Deputy national publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Comrade Timi Frank has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for suspending the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, David Babachir Lawal and the Nigeria Intelligence Agency Director General on matters of irregularities respectively.
Frank also said the President has done well by setting up a committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the recovered large amount of money from a Lagos house, calling on the President to further take a step to immediately sack all the serving “cabinet members who have, in one way or the other, brought disrepute to the administration of the APC.”
The APC stalwart said in Abuja on Wednesday reacting on the suspension of the NIA boss and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) said the action has long overdue.
Frank had earlier written an open letter to the President to demand openness in the controversial money recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), said the suspension of NIA boss will boost the confidence of Nigerians in the fight against corruption in the country.
“We believe in the committee set up by Mr. President. This committee will come up with a result that will please Nigerians.
“Mr. President should take more bold steps like this to sack all the incompetent hands in his government. Some of these actions are long overdue; it is high time President Buhari sack all the incompetent hands in this government.
“Nigerians want to see a type of actions President Zuma took in South Africa. This government must do more to ensure that the act of corruption become a thing of the past in Nigeria by getting to the root of this controversial $49M and anybody found guilty must be prosecuted”, he said.
