The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Mr. Babachir Lawal has revealed that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is not interested in probing members of the All Progressive Congress, APC.
The SGF in an interview during the weekend also opened up on the stir caused by the Ambassadorial list submitted to the National Assembly for approval.
Mr. Babachir Lawal also justified the recent recruitment into the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS and the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
Further speaking during the interview, he noted that the President does not have time for the 2014 National Conference report organised by the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
Lawal said: “The government has not taken a decision on the 2014 National Conference. I understand that some Nigerians want it implemented but the government has been too busy with key areas of governance to talk about an exercise that we thought was essentially diversionary and a sort of, maybe, a “job for the boys.”
“If you remember, it was reported that almost everybody in the committee got N7 million and we consider it essentially as job for the boys. They probably produced a document that is good and commendable but I mean, this government is too busy with very more vital areas of governance and we are not intending to spend our time reading reports.
“The exercise of governance is not about reading reports. The reports are here, so many volumes that, for example, it would take me like seven days to go through and I wonder what happens to my work while I am reading it; while the economy needs attention, unemployment is there, insecurity is there, people are blowing up pipelines and so on.”
