The Presidency has reacted to
allegations by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Ike
Ekweremadu that the Federal Government was planning to implicate them over the
recent invasion of the National Assembly by men of the Department of State Services,
DSS.
The Senior Special Assistant to
the Acting President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, while reacting,
expressed surprise that Saraki and Ekweremadu could allege that.
Akande said the Presidency had
made it clear that those involved in the invasion within the nation’s law
enforcement agencies would be identified and dealt with accordingly.
He therefore wondered why Saraki
and Ekweremadu would consider themselves to be in the group of those the
government promised to sanction.
Akande told the Punch: “I don’t
understand why the statement will make allusions because what the Presidency
said was that everyone that was involved in the violation of our constitutional
order through the invasion of the National Assembly within the law enforcement
agencies will be identified and disciplined appropriately.
“I don’t understand why the
statement will therefore suggest that the investigation is about the two
National Assembly leaders.
“The duty of the Federal
Government on this matter is to ensure that everyone within the law enforcement
agencies that was involved in the invasion of the National Assembly which we
considered as a violation of our constitutional order will be identified and
sanctioned.
“It is therefore surprising that
the two National Assembly leaders will consider themselves among that bracket
of people that have to be identified and appropriately sanctioned.
“I am surprised on why they
should think the investigation is about them.”
