APC says it has been vindicated by Babachir’s sack

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the party has been vindicated following the sack of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Mr Babachir Lawal.

The Party's National Publicity Secretary Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi stated this yesterday in Abuja maintaining that sacking the embattled SGF means doing the needful. 

It shows the President's commitment toward combating corruption at any level no matter who is involved, he stated.

Also reacting, the Chairman Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-Corruption Prof. Itse Sagay, said the former SGF’s sack was overdue.

On the appointment of Boss Mustapha as the substantive SGF, Sagay said he had a very long history of political activities saying that his appointment was a positive development.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that until his appointment, Mustapha, who hails from Adamawa, was the Director-General of the Nigeria Inland Waterways Authority.

The former SGF was suspended by President Buhari on April 19, following allegation of misappropriation of funds and lack of due process in the Presidential Initiative of the North East (PINE).
