Civil society organisation, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, insists that President Muhammadu Buhari must investigate the administration of former Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola.
SERAP has urged the President, to not exempt Fashola and other past officials, who have been accused of mismanagement, from the ongoing probe of past public office holders.
Executive Director of SERAP, Adetokunbo Mumuni, stated this in a telephone interview with Punch Newspapers.
Mumuni stated that past office holders no longer have immunity, adding that Buhari should probe everyone rumoured to be on the President’s ministerial list.
He said, “Fashola must give account for his administration. But I am not limiting this to Fashola alone. I am extending this to any person that Buhari may want to appoint to any position. Anybody that has any question to answer must be made by Buhari to, first of all, do that before he can be eligible for appointment into Buhari’s administration.
“If Buhari must make headway, whether the person is from PDP or APC, or he is an ordinary Nigerian who is affiliated with any political party, if he is considering such a person for an appointment, and there are allegations of crime against him, that person must be disqualified first and then investigated and prosecuted.”
