Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, has been fingered in the job racketeering as he was accused of securing 26 Job slots in the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), for his constituents in an exclusive report from Daily Trust.
The alleged Secret Recruitment of the National Assembly Members keeps getting messier with each passing day as Senators clashed over the unequal sharing formula for the job slots exclusively granted to them by Federal Agencies such as FIRS, CBN, NNPC etc.
According to Daily Trust, Senate President Lawan had already distributed employment letters to the beneficiaries in his constituents.
Unity for Collective Progressive Forum, the Youth Association for Senate President Lawan’s constituency also disclosed the Beneficiaries are “to commence work in earnest”
A senator disclosed to Daily Trust correspondents, that “Lawan was hijacking the 26 slots without considering other Senators, not even from his state”
The Youth Association has given a full list of the Local Government Areas who are listed as Beneficiaries from Ahmad Lawan’s Constituents. They are Nguru, 5; Karasuwa, 3; Machina, 4; Bade, 7; Yusufari, 4 and Jakusko 3. The Socio-Economic Right and Accountability yesterday asked Lawan to clarify the allegations that 100 employment slots for federal agencies were allocated to 10 principal officers of the Senate.
All efforts to reach Ola Awoniyi, the Spokesman of the Senate President has been unsuccessful, as he has neither returned the phone calls or reply text messages sent by correspondent of the Daily Trust.
The situation was the same when newsmen tried to contact Spokesmen of the Federal Character Commission and the FIRS.
However, Danjuma Leah, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs, disclosed that investigations were already ongoing to unveil the truth behind the alleged off-the-record recruitment happening in the Senate.
Daily Trust quotes Danjuma to have said “I am making my own investigations underneath to avoid disgracing some people”
