EX-SGF BABACHIR LAWAL’S ARREST…A Fallout From Obasanjo’s Letter – Senator Ben Bruce


Kamen nasa na zuwa ne bayan kwana daya da tsohon shugaban kasa, Olusegun ya soki gwamnatin kasar kan yaki da cin hanci da rashawa
Mr. commonsense and Senator representing Bayelsa East, Ben Murray Bruce, has responded to the arrest of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, by Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC).

Bruce said the arrest of the former SGF was as a result of the statement issued by former President Olusegun Obasanjo lambasting President Muhammadu Buhari over his incompetence to rule Nigeria.

In a tweet via his social medium handle, the lawmaker mocked the current Federal Government over the timing of Lawal’s arrest.

Ben Bruce mockingly said, other former Presidents should write letters so that “all of a sudden we will deal with herdsmen killings and other issues.”

He wrote: “Moments ago, news got out that former SGF, Babachir Lawal has been finally arrested by the EFCC. Many believe the long awaited arrest is a direct result of the letter written to President Buhari by Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday.

“All of a sudden they announce that the committee on restructuring will submit its report tomorrow.
“All of a sudden Babachir Lawal is detained. Maybe other former Presidents should also write letters. Then may be all of a sudden we will deal with herdsmen killingsand other issues.”

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
