I’m Now Doing Better, Earning More Than When I Was SGF, Babachir Declares

The immediate past Secretary to the Government of the Federation(SGF), David Babachir has disclosed that he is now doing better and earning more money than when he was in office.

Babachir, who was sacked last year following an allegation of corruption, and said that in spite of the situation that surrounded his leaving office, he had no regret.

“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. ”

Babachir, who was speaking to newsmen for the first time since he left office, said that everybody who saw him now, complimented him, saying that he is looking good and healthy.
He said that his sack from office opened his eyes to a lot of things that were hidden from him.

According to him, , a lot of people he helped in the past were actually the ones that planned 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. ”
Babachir said that he had however, forgiven all those who wanted his downfall, adding:”forgiveness is my number one principle because I want to make heaven.”

He debunked insinuations that he nominated Boss Mustapha, the incumbent SGF, saying: “he is however my brother and I cannot deny him”
