Two prominent Nigerians yesterday went to Aso Rock to seek the face of President Muhammadu Buhari about the recent decision he made concerning the Nigeria Immigration Service boss, David Parradang.
David Parradang had been suspended for making massive unauthorized recruitment into Immigration Service.
The Plateau State Governor, Mr. Simon Lanlong, was at the Aso Villa with the suspended Comptroller-General David Paradang, to beg President Muhammadu Buhari.
While Lanlong made his way to the President’s office to meet Buhari, the suspended NIS boss who wore a blue kaftan waited patiently at the waiting room opposite the Council Chambers.
Paradang however decided to join the governor as he stepped out of the president’s office but when he noticed that the governor wanted to address journalists, he quickly stepped aside. He also denied photojournalists from taking his photograph alongside the governor. Lanlong later told State House correspondents that Paradang’s issue was one of the matters he discussed with Buhari.
“Also, we discussed the prevailing issue of the suspension of the Comptroller-General of Immigration who incidentally is from my state. “When you have issues like this in a political period, you must find ways of looking for reasons. If anything affects any part of your body, you must show concern.”
Speaking about the outcome of his audience with the president, he said “Paradang’s case is still under investigation. A man was suspended and he is from Plateau State, it is my concern because I am the governor of the state. “For every appointment, we must show concern no matter how small. The President is handling it. At the end of the day, whatever is the outcome, I will agree with it, but I also need to get some explanation as the governor of the state,” he said
