Engineer Babachir Lawal, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, has reacted to those alleging that Cabals have hijacked the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, describing them as "Sour grapes". He noted that if at all there is a cabal, then it is must be the President himself since he's the one who delegates.
Lawal stated this while fielding questions in an exclusive interview he granted to Sunday Vanguard.
His words, "Whatever the word cabal means, let me tell you, in any organisation, there are people that are more dominant in any group – if you know the theory of groups – some are more dominant, some are more pushy, but, at the end of it all, the President delegates. He trusts all his principal officers and believes they will deliver on the mandate of their ministries and departments of government and those talking about cabal are just sour grapes.
"However, if they say a cabinet of 37 ministers constitutes the cabal, it’s okay because these are the key members of the government; the President appointed them, they are the ones that advise the President on the decisions that he needs to make; and, of course, I’m honoured to be a member of the cabal in this presidency."
