Buhari also set up a three man investigative panel led by Osinbajo, to look into the allegations and give recommendations.

According to reports, Osinbajo might have submitted the panel’s report to the President before he travelled to London on Sunday, May 7, 2017.

Speaking further, Senator Sani said “Well, we made our report and indicted public officials and companies involved. Now, the ball is on the side of the executive, before the Vice-President, and he knows very well that the integrity of the government is at stake,” Daily Post reports.

“The report we provided was not a university thesis, it wasn’t a poem but an investigation that was backed with figures and what the government needs to do is to adopt the report,” he added.

Osinbajo will remain as the acting President pending the return of President Buhari from his medical trip.
