The Chairman, Senate Committee on Navy, Senator Misau, has mocked the leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC as well as the Presidency for indicting President Buhari in the National Assembly invasion saga.
The Senator stated that the Presidency should be ashamed for pushing a conspiracy theory script indicting top officials of the nation’s security apparatus for working for the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
Senator Misau was reacting to the statement of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC debunking the allegations made by the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Babafemi Ojudu that the EFCC was working together with Saraki.

Senator Misau alleged that the APC Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole and Ojudu, were both spreading the same conspiracy theory to hide the lack of coordination and discipline amongst the Country’s security agencies.
According to the senator,
“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?” He asked?
“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 continued further.
Senator Misau also stated that both parties should be ashamed of explicitly indicting the presidency in such a manner.
“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 concluded.
Senator Misau also called for an independent judicial panel of inquiry into the invasion of the National Assembly by the DSS.
The senator stated that any other investigation would be seen as biased and flawed in the eyes of Nigerians as well as 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.” The senator stated.
