confirmation of former Rotimi Amaechi as a minister
of the federal republic of Nigeria, if any court of law
finds him guilty of corruption, he will not continue to
serve as a Minister in the Buhari led government. Sani
said this while paying a get-well-soon visit to a veteran
journalist and columnist, Abdulkareem Albashir today.
He said that the senate couldn't have stopped Amaechi's
ministerial confirmation because all the petitions
brought against him were mere allegations because no
court had found him guilty of corruption.
“The APC position on corrupt allegation is that it is
still an allegation and the issue is still in court which
the senate committee should not have entertained in
the first place. In the general sense, we are duty
bound to protect the interest of someone in our party
and the opposition has the right to object to who
ever is presented.
"In the broader sense, Nigerians and posterity will
judge whether our approval of Amaechi was a tacit
endorsement of corruption because the issues raised
were not enough to stop his confirmation. But we must
also understand that even if you are made a minister
and you get convicted, the law will take its course.
"Certainly if he is found guilty, he would not continue
to serve as minister under President Muhammadu
Buhari’s administration.“ He said.
