A former Minister of Information and Communications, Prof. Dora Akunyili, has said she will expose all the details of the financial benefits of senators if she becomes one of them.



Akunyili stated this on Tuesday at Oba, Idemili South Local Government when she visited the Eze Okpoko Oba, Igwe Peter Ezenwa.



Akunyili is the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance for Anambra Central Senatorial election in April.



“There are too many things that are too much in secrecy, which I will open up.



“People are concerned about how much constituency allowance is. I will tell you how much it is.



“I will announce how much I earn as a senator. I will tell you how much I will take for myself and how much I will commit to my constituents,” Akunyili declared.



She also made APGA’s House of Representatives and House of Assembly candidates from the zone promise to publish what they will earn as legislators, other wise, she would expose them.



The former minister threatened to resign if within one year of her stay in the Senate, her people were not happy with her representation.



She said, “If I spend one year in the Senate and people are not happy that they sent me, I will resign,” she declared.



Igwe Ezenwa, who offered his blessings to Akunyili, praised the former minister for the great job she did as the director general of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control and Information Minister.



He said the senatorial candidate’s goodwill has gone ahead of her to win votes for her.



Akunyili, who also visited Awka Etiti and Nkpor, urged the people to come out to vote and resist people that will attempt to rig.

What is wrong with this woman?

All hail the Pride of APGA!!
So what has she done since she switched again? Apart from her attention seeking scandalous threat at the mighty( ) SW and this lil exposition, na wetin? What is her position in politics sef? I have said it, she needs to focus her vision, those crossed eyes of hers no dey help at all.

Iyalode #1 of the APGA chapter!

BTW, why didnt she expose when she was a senator and earning the same "scandalous" senatorial allowance?

Public secrecy (knowing what not to know). As if Nigerians already didnt know, I mean, how could these motha effers afford to buy foreign properties?

^^ was she or has she ever been a senator?

@op: There's really nothing to expose. We sabi every

“I will announce how much I earn as a senator. I will tell you how much I will take for myself and how much I will commit to my constituents,” Akunyili declared.

i beg every anambra person on NL to educate their people about this deceptive woman.
anambra people should pls not elect this woman as she'll immediately become their megaphone once she gets there.

Abegi make we hear word you this power coveting Jezebel! Sanusi Lamido don tell us everything about those thieves finish, so no carry that your hypocritic rhetorics embarrass our ears for us. If you wan campaign, outline your vision for your constituency and stop promising dramatics. We remember your antics as a PDP minister, we remember you shed tears in the senate chamber, instead of defending yourself, when that aboki senator exposed your culinary skill in Turai's kitchen (Sanusi looked them in the eyes and told them off), we remember you begged Adedibu so you can be made a minister, we remembered you jumped ship when it became clear your previous benefactor will not survive, we remember all your circus shows and we don't want em anymore. Go get a alife if you have no vision!

No, she was never a senator. That statement you quoted is a futuristic one, a projective statement. It's people like her that we need at our legislative chambers - active, proactive, radical, transparent, and desirous of change.

Deceptive? Is 'deceptive' a new synonym for distinguished? Akunyili is a model citizen. How soon we forget her deeds as DG NAFDAC.

Last time i checked,she didn't expose ministers jumbo pay

Political chameleon

So its safe to assume that she was jealous because her own big allowance wasnt as big as a senators?
While she was playing the minister, she dey vex at "big things poppin'" senators right?
She just needs to shut up, she had many opportunities. . . .

As a minister for information you couldn't achieve the feat . . . how will do do that when you become one of them

What is wrong with this country?

People in government are just being recycled. Why not give young and upcoming people a chance?

Greediness is an epidemic in Nigeria.

From NAFDAC boss - INFORMATION MINISTER - now she wants to be a SENATOR.

Can it ever be the turn of a common man in this country?

I wonder

Haba! Prof. Dora is an amazon, a political diva. It seems you've been paying too much attention to cheap advertorials by her detractors. The truth is that her record speaks for itself.

Ujujoan:

As minister of information, does she have any business with senators' pay?

Alll hail Aunty Dora! Can't wait till she joins the senate.

yea by hook or by crook - the same woman that signed a budget without reading it


This woman will kill them with talk and those eyes that look like they're about to pop

She's a snitch she will be good for the senate, she likes attention so she'll do a lot of talking and grandstanding
