Sagay, who is the chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, had in an interview said the minister should not be sacked because she is "brilliant".
But Femi Adesina, a presidential spokesman, speaking with Channels dismissed Sagay's statement, saying that Sagay's comments on Adeosun was his personal opinion and not the stance of the President.
'It was a personal comment, that is not the position of the Government and Professor Sagay has a right to his opinion.
"It will not be down the aisle of Professor Sagay to advise on that matter because it is not a corruption matter so to speak," he said.
