Senator representing Bauchi
Central district in the National Assembly, Isah Hamma Misau, has broken his
silence on the reports that he dragged the first lady into the feud involving
him and the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.
Senator Isa Misau, who denied
making any allegations against First Lady, Aisha Buhari, said his submission to
the committee was simply to call attention to how the IGP Idris was unethically
dropping names by filing secret documents in court.
It could be recalled that Misau
was reported to have accused IGP Idris of giving the First Lady two SUVs when
he appeared before the Senate Ad Hoc committee on investigation of various
allegations levelled against the police.
But Aisha Buhari has since denied
allegations made by Senator Isa Misau.
However, Misau took to his
Twitter account to elucidate the matter while making sure the First Lady’s name
was duly cleared.
He tweeted: “For the avoidance of
doubt, I did not make any allegations against the person of the highly revered
wife of the President, Aisha Muhammadu Buhari.
“In addressing the committee, my
comments referenced court documents filed in charge CR/345/17 against me at the
Federal High Court by IGP Idris.
“IGP Idris leaked correspondence
with Muhammadu Buhari, Chief of Staff (COS), Director National Institute for
Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), ADC, Aisha Buhari and Chief Principal
Staff Officer (CPSO) of the President to the public in documents filed at the
Federal High Court.
“Shocked to find documents and
minutes of the President and top government officials carelessly paraded in
public by the IGP in clear breach of official secrecy.
“I query the motive behind such
indiscretion given that the said documents have little or no bearing on the
matter of malpractice.
“My submission to the committee
was simply to call attention to how IGP Idris is unethically dropping named by
filing secret documents in court.
“Again, I make it abundantly
clear: IGP Idris submitted official documents mentioning names of respected
personalities. Not me.
“I urge the press and public to
be wary of any attempt to obfuscate the issues. Indeed, eternal vigilance is
the price for freedom.”
