Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said Nigerians must wait a little longer before they can have the details of the report of the panel that investigated the corruption allegations against the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Babachir David Lawal, and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Mr. Ayodele Oke.
Speaking to State House correspondents Wednesday after submitting the report to President Muhammadu Buhari, the Vice President said that the President has to study it first before taking a decision based on the recommendations of the committee.
“It is a fact-finding committee as you know and what our terms of reference were was to find out based on the fact available to us and based on the interviews of witnesses of what transpired in those cases, one involving the SGF and the other the DG of NIA.
“We have now concluded that and we submitted a full report with recommendations to the President. We cannot, of course, give you any kind of details because the President has to look at the report, study it and then make his own decisions based on that report.
“All I can say now is that we have submitted the report to the President and it is a very detailed report as a matter of fact. The President has to study the report and make decisions,” he said,
On whether heads would roll based on the report, the Vice President said: “No, how can I tell you? If you want to know what is in the report, you have to wait. You really have to wait.”
The President had on Wednesday, April 19, 2017, suspended the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, and set up a three-member panel to investigate the duo.
The committee, made up of Vice President Yemi, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami and the National Security Adviser (NSA), Mr. Babagana Monguno, was given two weeks to submit its report.
The President hurriedly left the country for a medical vacation in London where he was treated of an undisclosed ailment for 103 days the day the committee was to submit its report.
