The group in a statement issued by its executive chairman, Debo Adeniran, on Thursday, March 30, said the absence of focused leadership for the country is not peculiar to National Assembly but has also plagued the executive arm of the federal government.

The group said the Buhari administration houses both elected and appointed public officials that have corruption allegations against them that are yet to be disproved.

CACOL, cited the instance of Babachir Lawal, the secretary to general of the federation, (SGF) as an example of a government official who had charges of corruption to answer.

It said: “He obviously has a lot to answer for, as far as the allegations against him are concerned, as against the clearance by the President which suggests that he had not been found wanting. Ordinarily, the SGF should have stepped aside long before now to thoroughly clear himself of the misconducts his being accused of.
