Senior Special Assistant to Nigeria’s Acting President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, has expressed surprise that Saraki and Ekweremadu could allege that the federal government is aiming at implicating them in the DSS’ NASS siege probe.
Akande told the Punch: “I don’t understand why the statement will make allusions because what the Presidency said was that everyone that was involved in the violation of our constitutional order through the invasion of the National Assembly within the law enforcement agencies will be identified and disciplined appropriately.
“I don’t understand why the statement will therefore suggest that the investigation is about the two National Assembly leaders.
“The duty of the Federal Government on this matter is to ensure that everyone within the law enforcement agencies that was involved in the invasion of the National Assembly which we considered as a violation of our constitutional order will be identified and sanctioned.
“It is therefore surprising that the two National Assembly leaders will consider themselves among that bracket of people that have to be identified and appropriately sanctioned.
“I am surprised on why they should think the investigation is about them.”
