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 killings and other issues.”
