The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, quotes Lawal to have said this while speaking with newsmen on Monday in Abuja.
The former SGF, also said that in spite of the situation that surrounded his leaving office, he had no regret, adding that his sack was a blessing in disguise.
“Let me shock you, before I came into government, I have been in business, I was a very successful businessman.
“I am a world renowned IT consultant and I have a very large farm, spanning over 1,000 hectares, which I abandoned to join governance.
“I was earning N930,000 monthly as the SGF, now that I have returned to my farm and reactivated it after my sack, I now have 4,000 hectares under cultivation.
“Last year, I earned close to half a billion naira from my farm proceeds, I have a cattle ranch that I am developing gradually and I am back to IT consultancy, life is now good,” he stressed.
Lawal, who was speaking to the press for the first time since he left office, added that everybody who saw him now, complimented him, saying he was looking good and healthy.
He, however, said that his sack from office, opened his eyes to a lot of things that were hidden from him, adding that lots of people he helped in the past, were actually planning his downfall.
Referring to the scripture, the former SGF said; “everything that happened to a man is for his own good; my sack I would say, is rather a blessing in disguise.
“Let me tell you, nothing happened to me. Right from the beginning of the saga, I knew that the whole thing was fabricated and that was why I did not give any damn from the beginning.
“The reason some people don’t like me is because I am so confident of myself. Did you hear me defend myself that time, I didn’t do it and I will not do it because I know that they are fabricated,” he said.

ReplyDeleteStory for the gods
ReplyDeleteOf course he will have no regrets and described it as a blessing in disguise because he went scot free. This was a mam indicted for corruption after being found guilty, he was only sacked and suspended and I asked where then is the fight against corruption in all this noise made by the president? Is it a selective fight? This man would have proven Buhari a true crusader of justice and anti corruption boss if he had allowed him to be imprisoned for his crime, for it was the first corrupt case to have slapped his administration but no they let him walked away.
ReplyDeleteI hope the Buharist and my political anonymous critics could see the rate of impunity this administration perpetrated against the rule of law. So saddening and despicable.
Only in Nigeria!
