LAGOS—AS the two-week ultimatum handed the Federal Government to prosecute indicted persons in the subsidy report expires, the Save Nigeria Group, SNG, says it will head to court to seek for judicial pronouncements on appropriation and spending from the Federation Account.
At a briefing in Lagos, Convener of SNG, Pastor Tunde Bakare, berated the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Adoke, SAN, for allegedly plotting to frustrate the report.
He described Adoke’s statement on the matter as “double speak,” noting “the following recent developments, despite the collapse of our moral walls as a country, show that the AGF’s position is untenable.”
He said SNG may opt for public protest as a very last resort, adding “all we have heard hitherto has been mere rhetoric with no concrete actions from constituted authorities. We are ready to extend the rope to see what comes of EFCC’s promise within a reasonable time. We will watch every step they take with our firm resolve that this report will not go into the mortuary of probe reports.”
