In an encounter with Reporters on Wednesday, shortly after his suspension was announced, a clearly shocked Lawal stalled on all the questions he was asked.
Informed that his suspension was announced by the Presidency, he retorted: “Who is the Presidency?”
He had been in a meeting with the Vice President, when Femi Adesina, the Presidential Spokesman, announced his suspension, pending investigations into the award of contracts under the Presidential Initiative on the North-East.
THE EXCHANGE IN FULL
Reporters: Your suspension has just been announced. How will you react to the development?
Lawal: Who announced it?
Reporters: The Presidency
Lawal: Then ask them. Why are you asking me? Who is the Presidency?
Reporters: Have you been informed of the suspension?
Lawal: By who? About what. What about you? Have you been informed?
Reporters: Yes sir.
Lawal: By who?
Reporters: By the Presidency sir.
Lawal: I have not seen it. I should have been given… I have not seen the press release, so I cannot comment on it.
Reporters: It is currently trending online. Do you doubt the authenticity of the statement?
Lawal: I have not seen it.
Reporters: Tell us the outcome of your meeting with the Vice President.
Lawal: I am always here. I always meet the Vice- President. I used to come here even before I was made SGF.
