Unsettled by the N44m bribery allegations levelled against him, the Chairman, House Committee on Capital Markets, Hon. Herman Hembe today resigned as the Chairman of the Committee.

This he did in a way to heal the Committee on Capital Markets and prove his innocency of the bribery allegations levelled against him by the Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, Ms. Arunma Oteh .

Meanwhile, an eight-man adhoc committee has been named to see out the now tainted probe.

The House of Representatives has also mandated its Ethics and privilege committee to probe the allegation while the public hearing continues under the ad hoc committee to be headed by Hon Ibrahim El Sudi.

I want to tell all probing bigots to face either North or SW cos an Igbo woman is too intelligent to be pushed into corner, and we dont steal public fund, we spend it at the right time and place

Should have told us this when Akunyili and Ndidi were being pushed around. Relax the battle is just beginning. Remember she has no husband. Free poohsie for Malams. . . Hembe's resignation holds an ace. That is if you understand Nigerian politics with women in it.

Don't you just love it when corrupt politicians expose each other? That's one of the dividends of democracy.

Indeed. They were actually out to witch-hunt Ms Arunma Oteh but she didn't want to go down alone so also exposed the house of reps members. That's how it's supposed to be.

Yes boss, we love it. But what would be the eventual outcome? Cover-up and acquiting them due to 'lack of sufficient evidence'.

Nigeria, sad nation bad people.

Your thinking is pathetic, Hembe has done the honourable thing by resigning. Your kinswoman hasn't answered the allegations against her yet and going by her attitude she is in for some serious political 'roasting'. If that is what being Igbo is all about, then she has not painted Ndigbo in good light at all.

You must be kidding. To you 'dividend of democracy' is government official A telling government official B: How dare you say I stole N10 billion when I know you took N5 billion? Of what benefit is that knowledge to you when both of them are not going to be punished and will end-up stealing even more in the future?

You need a rethink of what 'dividends of democracy' actually means.
