Chairman, Senate Committee on Navy, Senator Isa Hamma Misau, has stated
that the Presidency should be ashamed that it is pushing the conspiracy
script that top officials of the nation’s security apparatus are working
for the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
Reacting
to the EFCC statement that debunked the allegations credited to the
Senior Special Assistant to the President, Babafemi Ojudu, that the EFCC
was working in tandem with Saraki, Misau said that both the APC
Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole and Ojudu, were spinning the same conspiracy
theory to hide the lack of coordination and discipline amongst the
security agencies.
“The EFCC’s statement confirms our immediate
reaction that both Ojudu and Oshiomhole have been reading from the same
conspiracy script.
“Nigerians find it unthinkable that Magu, that
the Senate refused to confirm — whose EFCC has also prosecuted Saraki
for over 3 years at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) would now turn
around and start working for this same Saraki. How is this possible?
“These
people think that they can just wake up, think up conspiracy theories
and try to sell it to Nigerians, but the public is smarter and more
discerning than their shallow fictitious narratives", the Senator
stated.
Misau also stated that the APC and Ojudu should be ashamed of indicting the Presidency in such an explicit fashion.
“In
any case, shouldn't they be ashamed to even claim that the entire
internal security institutions in the country are working for someone
else other than the person that appointed them? “Additionally, at what
point did they decipher this? Was it before the siege on the National
Assembly or after?
“What this goes to show is that in their
desperate bid to blame someone else for their crime and incompetence,
these people no longer have a sense of shame,” the Senator said.
Misau
further amplified the call for an independent judicial panel of inquiry
into the National Assembly siege, stating that any other investigation
would be seen as biased and flawed in the eyes of Nigerians and the
international community.
“In this regard, we hereby
reiterate the call for independent judicial panel of inquiry into the
invasion. Any other such investigation into the matter would constitute
another attempt by these same people to present a biased perspective to
the assault on our nation’s democracy and its highest lawmaking body,”
Misau stated.
