Good, Jonathan will be the end looser in this political game. You know that for everything these rogues in the national assembly do including the pdp primary and passing a bill or budget, money do exchane hands from the exevutive to them in the name of "lobbying". With this Farouk's case now, they will be afraid to collect any bribe from the executive so as not to be gien a farouk treatment.
THE COLD WAR BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE AND THE LEGISLATURE HAS JUST BEGUN.

Otedola said the companies in question don't even import petrol. How come he now collected money to supply petrol. Otedola also said it is impossible to collect money from CBN during this SLS era and not do the job. So the whole investigations and figures may be all bogus.

i bet you the court has jurisdiction over such matters, and believe it or not, Otedola would come out clean in court mostly after been exonorated by the same folks in the National Assembly.

Well, if I were Otedola I'll simply approach the court to restrain the house from investigating my company for any wrong doing after being exonerated by a committee set up by the house itself. Two, I'll sue the house for even attempting to investigate my company after clearing it of any wrong doing it the report and insist that the earlier report be made to stand, and since the Ouse itself have said that they still stand by that report, then they lack the locus status to query my company again based on that report.

Now, come to think of it, how can you say that report still stand and yet you want to bring in a company whose name was initially cleared of any wrong doing only after the chairman of the committee was accused of collecting bribe?

It just appears as if the people will call our representatives can not think more or less than like a child. Well, which ever way they want to take this case, except and only if Otedola himself have something to hide, they will loose if this matter is taken to court.

I think u re confused about dis matter, why not seek a better explanation. So the fact dat an adhoc committee and even d house had erroneously expunged Otedola's coys, he can now claim in court to be innocent? So d house has become GOD or a supreme court. Was d reason to expunge his coys not based on d bribe? An act which is wrong to which is now to be righted.

By the way, like someone said on this matter in an earlier post, why must it always be the house of representative that should be investigating fraud cases, what is the work of the police, SSS, icpc and the efcc? Must they always wait until they are called in? What is the rule of law on criminal investigation?

To cut the whole story short, this one na just film we dey watch, it will soon end. Make one big thing just happen again now, then that's the end of this show. But serious, this people aren't ashamed of themselves. It's terribly terrible.

The way and manner some of you debate issue here only gives me the impression of your level of low intelligence,this is a pure case of bribery. Scandal between a so called honourable member of the hallow chambers and a big time entrepreneur. My anger here is to those bringing either PDP or the president to this issue,was it GEJ that set up the meeting?did he ask that shirt screeched voiced man to collect bribe?did he tell otedola to run a sting operation??so why bring him in.
I have observed that some of you here don't have any brain and the only rubbish that comes out of your empty brain is only to talk down on GEJ. If not this administration how would we have known that farouk off all people has a criminal heart?he has deceived us from 1999 till today.please let's be sane and objective in either tackling or criticising especially the president,he is not to be robbed in all meagre and irrelevant issue like this.
If you criticise him ertaining the 300m dollars for the supply of petroluem products given to otedola fine but he still set up this investigatory stuff which they themselves(legislators)are phucking everyting up.

I like your analysis.

Another Question to ask is why should the house be quick to take A̶̲̥̅̊‎ stand on the report without investigating the possibility that it could have been compromised by collection of bribe from others including otedola? I can only guess they are point fingers at only otedola for exposing their act.
Farouk stated he had informed the house on the bribe money from otedola since on d 24th April (only whn he kwn he was caught) why did the house kp quite on it until otedola spoke out on 6th June? why should the house order the EFCC to investigate otedola outside the recommendation of the FSR where as it stands they unanimously voted his companies to be removed. Why otedola the only oil marketer to be investigated? Why didnt the house also "order" the EFCC to investigate the bribe collected by farouk lawan? Why should A̶̲̥̅̊‎ house committee investigate A̶̲̥̅̊‎ clear case of bribery, who is heading such committee?another farouk I guess?
Its obvious that the house will do everything to protect farouk and prosecute otedola because if farouk goes down, he will surely take those whose pockets were stuffed with the bribe money and expose many other under secret skeletons of house members. I'm now convinced Obj was fully awake when said the house is filled with rogues and thieves

Another dimension to this matter is A̶̲̥̅̊‎ northern house elite (backed by A̶̲̥̅̊‎ northern hse leardership) vs A̶̲̥̅̊‎ western business elite (backed by A̶̲̥̅̊‎ western Obj). Take it or leave it there is always regional sentiment when it comes to nigerian politics, its A̶̲̥̅̊‎ common nigerian mentality.. This battle is beyond the issue of farouk vs otedola. Let's watch and see

PDP is really A̶̲̥̅̊‎ dirty party

Lanquart:



The House said the two companies collected about $300 million USD for the purpose of importing petroeleum products in 2010 but never did. The companies were earlier cleared of any wrong doing by the probe report after Lawan was allegedly induced with bribe.


So the house of rápes now remember that he misappropriated 300 million dollars in 2010 but when given the chance to thoroughly rope him recently, they kept silent. They've now called on the EFCC to investigate him because he has touched one of their own.

Otedola is the Presidents friend and used his agency against one of their own when you know you are not clean as a big "player". Besides, they are NOT investigating him, but asked the appropriate agency also headed by the President (Otedola's bossom friend) to investigate him. That's maturity to me!

What will the president arrest Otedola for? A bogus charge? Don't u get it? The bribe was to remove his companies name from a list the names shouldn't have been on in the first place.

If we are fair in our judgment, we will get something here. Otedola refused to bribe, that is why Zenon and Synopsis where on the list. He refused to bribe because he knew that there is no way his companies that import AGO be indicted for a petrol case. So he decided to expose the scam. I still believe the whole subsidy gist is a scam, that is why a rushed list of Cabals was put together. Just like the rushed and bogus SURE-P.

koruji: There you go again. Justice has no meaning to you, I think.

If Otedola has done anything wrong he won't be the one to expose it publicly or call the SSS to come into his house to record the giving/taking of bribes.

Farouk seems to have only himself to blame here, and the real victim, at least in this instance, is Otedola. He was the one that was unduly being threatened with legislative power, and again at least in this case, did the right thing.

Whistle blowers are to be encouraged, not punished, unless & until it can be proved that they were perpetrators. There is no evidence of the latter in the case of Otedola here.


Let's wait & see......i first thought of the same thing with Farouk......but see how he fall our hand, bro this is Naija where anything is possible.
