The group alleged that the SGF has been working round the clock to bring back the sacked TCN MD to office. The group further disclosed that they were aware that the approval for the sack of Mohammed was graciously granted by the president and duly conveyed to the minister of power through the chief of staff. They, therefore, opined that the fresh moves by the SGF appear to mean that he wants to upturn a presidential approval. Furthermore, the coalition described as disingenuous a recent memo from the SGF attempting to stop ministers from removing heads of public agencies. “For the avoidance of doubt, the role of the SGF is mainly advisory and policy coordination. So far, beyond delegated duties, there are more than ten agencies directly domiciled under the supervision of the SGF and where he can exercise his power as he so wishes,” the group noted.
