$3 million bribery: Otedola refuses to speak to Reps, insists hearing on allegations must be public
The
Chairman of Zenon Petroleum and Gas Limited, Femi Otedola, on Tuesday
honoured the invitation of the House of Representatives Ethics and
Privileges Committee probing his alleged $620,000 bribe to the suspended
Chairman of the ad-hoc committee, Farouk Lawan which probed the
management of the fuel subsidy fund.
The committee had invited the billionaire businessman to explain allegations that he gave $620,000 bribe to Mr Lawan, and the erstwhile secretary, Boniface Emenalo, to get his companies off the list of firms indicted for the alleged mismanagement of oil subsidy funds.
The committee then went into a closed door session. However, Mr Otedola requested the hearing should be conducted in public.
“I strongly believe that the interest of the public will not be best served if this investigation is held in-camera,” he said.

ReplyDeleteI am not disposed to one sided judgment be it Femi, upper or lower legislative, judiciary or executive arms of government (federal or state), past leaders etc. all are bunch of rogues. How I wish God will open their eyes to see the eternal doom that awaits them, behold hell has enlarged itself with Satan their master waiting for their reception where they will regret that they were ever born unless they repent like Zacchaeus.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Obasanjo called the NASS members bunch of rogues. It is just the same thing in the whole Nigeria even in Abia State.
