Barely twenty fours after the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal announced
that because he had dragged the Senate to court and as such won’t honour its
invitation to any meeting, he has written a second letter citing busy official
schedule as the reason for his absence from the meeting.
The Senate Committee on Mounting
Humanitarian Crisis in the North East, headed by Senator Shehu Sani had invited
Babachir to appear before it to provide explanations on the alleged
mismanagement of funds voted for the Presidential Initiative on North East
(PINE). The Senate invited him based on an interim report submitted by Sani’s
committee which had indicted Babachir and asked that he should resign
immediately. A position President Muhammadu Buhari opposed.
In his first response to the
fresh invitation, Babachir informed the Senate that he had gone to court to
question the Senate power in inviting him, he won’t honour the invitation.
“I wish to kindly request that
you draw the attention of the other members of the committee that I will not be
able to appear before the committee primarily because I have been to court to
challenge the invitation among others,” he wrote in the letter.
But in a twist of event, the SGF
quickly brought a second letter within twenty-four hours after the first letter
and declared that his main reason for not honouring the invitation was due to
the “pressing engagement of Government which clashed with the date of the
hearing.”
