President Muhammadu Buhari has shunned pressures from political affiliates and set to punish the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal and the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ambassador Ayo Oke.

DailyTimes reported that the President, who is said to be under pressure to give soft landing to the duo, is said to have resisted pressure from interested parties - the cabal inclusive, who are reportedly drumming into the president’s ears about the contributions of Lawal and the need to be circumspect as 2019 draws near.

Multiple sources at the Presidency also said that the President, who is not ready to spare anyone no matter how highly placed in his anti-corruption drive, is studying the recommendations of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo-led panel with a view to taking his decisions and punishing errant public officials accordingly.

Another top source from the presidency, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said; “The President has shunned all entreaties from the cabal to give the duo of Lawal and Oke a soft landing. “I can tell you without fear or favour that the President will act on the detailed recommendations in the interest of the Nigerian people. ”
