Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is to appear before the House of Representatives Committee on Ethics and Privileges on June 28 over his recent utterances in which he referred to members of the National Assembly as armed robbers and rogues, Daily Trust learnt yesterday.

Obasanjo had in May at the Fourth Annual Conference of the Academy for Entrepreneur Studies Nigeria (AES) at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) in Lagos, said that “there are more rogues and armed robbers in the State Assemblies and the National Assembly”.

The House of Representatives asked its committee on ethics to investigate the former president’s assertion, with Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal hinting that Obasanjo will be invited to defend himself before the lawmakers.

Speaking to Daily Trust yesterday on the telephone, committee chair Rep. Gambo Dan Musa 9CPC, Katsina), said although they have since received verbal referral for the assignment, they were officially communicated about the exercise on Thursday.

“When we resume next week on the 21st of June, we will meet as a committee to look at the modalities of the investigation and we hope to commence in a week time,” Dan Musa said.

The probe was instituted after a motion on matter of personal privileges was raised by the House Deputy Minority Leader, Suleiman Kawu Sumaila (ANPP, Kano) who said, “the former President called us rogues and armed robbers. But I am not an armed robber neither am I a rogue.”

Should Obasanjo appear, it would be a total disaster as he won't mind naming the rogues and embarrassing those who give him direct confrontation. Big mistake, the worst part will him presenting the matter like a joke.

If Farouk with his integrity crap can collect money from otedola,who in that chamber is free from corruption ? Obj may not be innocent but he just identified another set of pen-robbers that have dragged this country into abject poverty.Just within the time obj made this comment,Hembe and Farouk became victims of corruption.May God help Nigeria !

A thief can only know a thief.Thief calling thief thief.

Not sure if baba Iyabo will honour the invitation

As if they can do anything to him. Waste of time. They know they are thieves, Nigerians know that too. Oles, barayi, ndioshi.

As corruption thrieves in the Country,so many leaders are untouchables and it remain to be seen how we intend to flush out this thing that has eaten deep into the society.Shaking my head for my dear Country!

Like it will change anything.

Btw what will happen if he refuses to honor the invitation?

I trust Obj, him no de carry last, he would disgrace those thieves, even though he helped to install some of them.

OBJ is right...

Another commitee is about to be formed with someone as the chairman just to investigate OBJ's statement.....WTF is ther to investigate when it was said in plain English.

For crying out loud, can't we just read one good news from that sorry asss crappy nation call Nigeria?

Is that too much to ask?

The big boys in pdp are untouchable so far you remain loyal to the party.I'm sure obj wont even attend the invitation and I doubt if they can issue a bench warrant against him either.

Waoh! i have to watch it live.

Not the likes of this present Legislooters has moral justification to invite OBJ for questioning, they are all thieves.

OBJ has been quiet for a long. I think there's more to this. Let's see how it ends.

i dey laff o!

Summon OBJ??

One news report claimed that Otedola handed a copy of d Lawan video to OBJ and OBJ showed it to speaker Tambuwal. Guess this whole name-calling was against Lawan abinitio. OBJ may play d boxoffice-topping video dat day. Am keeping a date!
