The Director-General of the National Productivity Centre, Baffa Babba Dan Agundi, has rejected calls to join efforts aimed at discrediting Senator Barau Jibrin, warning that he will publicly name anyone who persists.
Dan Agundi said those who approached him asked him to join a campaign against Senator Barau after the Senate declined to screen the nomination of Engineer Abdullahi Ramat a week earlier.
Supporters of Ramat held a press conference to air their grievances, and some reportedly sought Dan Agundi’s participation in what he described as an attempt to smear the senator’s reputation.
But Dan Agundi told them he would not be associated with insulting anyone, even in a political dispute.
He praised Senator Barau’s dignity and said he would not turn the senator into a target of abuse.
The DG added that Senator Barau was not to blame for the events that unfolded in the Senate chamber, based on information he later received.
Dan Agundi warned that if those who asked for his involvement continued to push the matter after he refused, he would reveal their names one by one.
