Maina: Why Buhari shouldn’t fire Dambazau, Malami – Sagay

The chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-Corruption (PACAC), Prof Itse Sagay, has lashed out at those criticizing President Muhammadu Buhri, over his handling of allegations against top government officials.

Sagay said Buhari’s critics were being “extremely unreasonable” and desperate to find fault.

He disagreed with critics in the wake of the reinstatement and disengagement of the former pension’s boss, Abdulrasheed Maina.

“People who are determined to find wrong will find it no matter how pure the situation is.

“Maina escaped out of this country under Jonathan. When he was sneaked back into the country, did Buhari know about it? The first time he knew he ordered that the man be dismissed and arrested. What more do you want him to say? I think people are extremely unreasonable,” said Sagay in an interview with Premium Times on Saturday.

Sagay also faulted the demand for Interior Minister, Abdulrahman Dambazzau and Justice Minister, Abubakar Malami, to be fired for their role in the recall.

“These are early days. Inquiries are going on to find out the role of everybody. He is not going to fire anybody without getting all the sides. Do you know he even wrote the Head of Service? It is when investigation is concluded, that you start hearing action being taken,” he added.
