President Muhammadu Buhari has been described by Senator Dino Melaye
(APC-Kogi West), as a good man who is surrounded by caterpillars and
cankerworms, The Cable reports.
The senator made his comments on Tuesday, October 24, in response to a
debate on the controversial reinstatement of the former chairman of the
presidential task force team on pension reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina,
into the civil service.
He stated: “It is pathetic. I want to ask this question to the executive- should we continue in sin and ask grace to abound? “Time after time, the AGF and minister of justice has abused his office. “We are not talking about Maina; we should talk about the integrity of the AGF and minister of justice. If the law officer has his hands stained, then the entire nation is stained. “Mr President is a good man and he means well, but he is surrounded by cankerworms and caterpillars. We should have the audacity to take strong decisions. “Nigerians would understand why the office of AGF and minister of justice is separated. We must recommend to the president that the AGF has displayed gross incompetence for the office he is occupying."
Sources close to the presidency said President Buhari was furious over the recall of Maina.
