Meanwhile, a former member of the House of Representatives, Dino Melaye, yesterday accused Lawan of commercialising his conscience.

He cited the role played by Lawan as the leader of the Integrity Group in the Patricia Etteh saga, saying such a person cannot be serious in the fight against corruption.

Speaking on African Independent Television (AIT), Melaye said: “He has commercialised his conscience. The same Farouk Lawal, if you follow the statistics, I moved against corruption in the House, he was in the forefront of fighting corruption.

When the issue of Etteh (former Speaker) came up, Lawan came up with the Integrity Group and there was nothing they didn't do to fight and remove Etteh when the woman did not even spend the money alleged. You know that recently, I questioned the integrity of Farouk Lawal and why some major marketers' names were missing from the list as presented by the Lawal Committee. How much damage does this do to the National Assembly?

“In this government, there is a complete failure. Corruption is being massaged, promoted and encouraged by everybody, in the executive and the legislature. The Federal Government is yet to fight corruption”.

Otedola, told a national newspaper how Lawan and Emenalo had collected $620,000 from him in a 'sting operation' masterminded by security agencies.

The amount was part payment for the $3 million, which he alleged Lawan had demanded from him to exonerate Zenon Oil from the ad-hoc committee’s report.

Security agents, he disclosed, gave him serialised dollar bills for the sting job and there are call logs, video and audio recordings in the possession of the agencies to confirm all that transpired between him and Lawan.

Otedola said on April 21, the Saturday before the plenary, Lawan came in person to his residence and collected $250,000 in cash, as the first instalment, “then the next Monday night, he came and collected another $250,000.

“On Tuesday at 9 a.m., just before the House commenced sitting, Boniface came and collected another $120,000.”

During the sting, Lawan and Boniface collected a total of $620,000 in three instalments as part of the $3 million demanded from him.

I now regret the supporting the impeachment of Patricia Etteh . . . . .


Its obvious that Mr Integrity was even more corrupt than Etteh . . . . .

And secondly since i started working in a construction firm i have come to understand that N620m is not too large an amount for renovation of a Speaker's official residence.

@Bolded...very true!

ThankGod you know better now, cos many atimes we argue here blindly and even with abusive words about things we are either ignorant about,politicised about or divided along ethnic or religious divide.Until we begin to see things objectively,we shouldn't even talking about corrupt leaders cos we would do worse.Etteh was removed for a no just cause compared to What Bankole and Farouk did cos she had not even implemented d monet she was accused of.My candid advice to NL, contribute like intellects,don't just rush into typing and calling people retardeen,useless etc without point and analysis because we re biased.Many of us have made other people see Nigeria as people with low level IQ

Sombody correct me pls. I guess its "innocent until proven guilty" or has it changed? In all of this wia is the police and the sss that both otedola and farouk had claimed to hv reported to at diff times? I need help on pls. because this by all legal standard hs gone beyond farouk and otedola it is nw an institutiona criminal matter, nt two guys quarrellin and hving national attention.

Poor Etteh
This same roguish and criminal Farouk Lawan championed her ouster,Im sure its because the woman refused to dance to some of his corrupt tunes

I've always hated this short devil since the Ettheh Saga...Thank God nemesis is catching up with him. I hope he's seriously dealt with...
Besides do NASS still need OBJ to defend his statement about Thieves and legislooter in the NASS, so far we've seen one.

Commercialisation of conscience..Lol
Saw dino melaye blowing english on Ait.

Mayb he is trying to carve a niche 4 himself like hon patrick..

Etteh was removed cos she lacked swag,charisma and cant speak good english....Farouk lawan and his integrity group were just hiding under 620 million naira house contract renovation scam and 82 million naira body massager..

I have always known that farouk is a crook..
So funny how a hero can easily turn into a villian..

disagree. In the context of a poor nation, it is a monumental amount. £3million to renovate the speakers house?? you will buy a posh house in an exclusive part of the UK for that amount. It is damn too much, lets stop making excuses for Grand Theft. the bunch of them are Big Phucking Thieves
