Former Special Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Electronic Media, Reno Omokri, has said until Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal is charged for corruption, the anti-corruption war is a “façade.”
Recall that the senate had recently called for the arrest and prosecution of Lawal, following an Interim Report by its ad-hoc committee on mounting Humanitarian crisis in the North East which indicted him of fraudulent act.
In the report, the committee alleged that Lawal who is the Chairman of the Presidential Initiative of the North East, PINE, awarded contracts to a company which he has link to.
However, the former Presidential aide, on Thursday noted that Buhari cannot continue to dine with corrupt officials and expect Nigerians to believe his anti-graft fight.
In a Facebook post, Omokri wrote: “First Orubebe, now Justice Ademola. The courts are dismissing these trumped up charges.
“Until Babachir is charged, the anti corruption war is a sham!
“How can the President wine and dine with Babachir Lawal, a man caught red handed in corruption and unleash the EFCC on opposition figures like Orubebe and the judge trying his certificate scandal?
“Perhaps President Buhari will now instruct EFCC to charge Kola Awodein, one of the 13 SANs defending him from showing his WASSCE certificate.
“After all, Awodein admitted giving Ademola a ‘gift’ of ₦500k while President Buhari’s matter was before Justice Ademola!.” Omokri had similarly mocked Buhari, saying he should disclose his WASCE certificate to Nigerians.
