I’m not creating enemies for Buhari, Sagay replies APC

by Azeez Adeniyi

Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Prof Itse Sagay has said he was not creating enemies for President Muhammadu Buhari.

Sagay said this while speaking at the sidelines of PACAC’s strategic engagement with investigative journalists in Lagos on Thursday.

He spoke in response to a statement by the spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bolaji Abdullahi.

“Our expectation would be that as a Law Professor of repute, Prof. Sagay would appreciate the need to not denigrate the institutions of democracy, be it the executive, legislature or judiciary.

“Moreover, as an appointee of Mr. President, we should expect the learned professor to key into his principal’s temper and help him to make friends that would make his job easier and not make enemies of people who, by virtue of the position they occupy under our law, are critical to the running of government and the nurturing of our democracy,” the statement read.

But Sagay said he would like to focus on his work in PACAC.

“How does the party spokesman know what creates enemy for the President? Did the President complain that enemies are being created for him? The man who spoke is an APC official. I’m not an APC member. I’m not an appointee of the APC. Let him face the work of his party while I face my work,” Sagay said.
