At a Thanksgiving service and reception held in his honor in Abuja yesterday October 17th, newly appointed Secretary to the Government of the Federation Engr. Babachir Lawal, said his appointment into office by President Buhari in August was made possible by APC chieftains Bola Tinubu and Bisi Akande who put it in the mind of President Buhari to make him his SGF.
"My wife has not met Bisi Akande, she has not met Asiwaju, she has not met Buhari, yet we have been with him. But, it is fundamentally important for Nigerians to know that goodness is not restricted to tribe, religion or political party. My opinion is that if you have no investment in human beings and you just invest in yourself, like most politicians present in this church do, you will end up as nothing.
If you look at just your community for friendship, or you look at your religion or in the same church with you for friendship, I doubt if you will go any where. I am Secretary to the Government today, because those people that I mentioned were the very first to put the idea in the mind of the President. They were the ones that made it possible. Because if it has been left to northerners, it is doubtful if they will take a Christian man to make Secretary to the Government of the Federation. But these friends know me, they know that I am not ambitious. I just want to eat today and tomorrow I will find my way. By the grace of God, I am today the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, something I did not look for, people say it is hard work and dedication. It is not true, it is just by the grace of God that the President will just pick you and say this is your position. I never looked for it and I never expected it. I started getting hints to this job just about two to three days to it, and I thought it was a very big joke. Then I used to call it Timipre Silva project or Baba Akande project, when they mentioned that they heard story about it. Last year, if I was told that I will have an occasion where one single governor will attend, I will not believe it, but here we are today, it is the grace of God that has put all of us where we are today. Governors should know that”he said.

ReplyDeleteIf linda is truly swallowing his comments then she would have been swallowing williminna's comments long time before freeborn started existing. So shut up and leave my linda alone and did I forget to say that willy and freeborn are my commenters here? Get lost ode oshi! Oponu!
DeleteIs that not what these Igbo fucks are supposed to do? Help one another so that they can have good representation at the Federal level. But mba! Greed and selfishness of the highest level reigns supreme in their miserable lives. It is so pathetic. They only know how to cry foul. No leaders to fight for them. No oneness! No one voice. Everyone wants to be relevant. Those are the results of greed. Only noise. Eyin ashiere gbogbo. Leave other parts of the country and go back to your east! Then we go take una serious.
ReplyDeleteIgbos are mean, selfish and greedy. I know cos I am igbo.
Delete'It is the grace of God that has put us all here today'. Every man should know that!!!
ReplyDeleteNew SGF thank U 4 givin God d glory.
I am struggling with whether this is an overdose of misplaced humility and faith in fellow humans or it is a case of his belief that he does not merit the position. Just checking. If you are armed for the job and you can do it, yes, you should be thankful to have the opportunity but what is all this hailing and posturing? You better get the shit done.
