Please be patient and Read: NASS awarded N1.2 bn contract for Mark, Ekweremadu houses

By Adelanwa Bamgboye

Between 2013 and 2014, the management of the National Assembly (NASS) awarded various contracts in excess of N800 million and N400 million respectively for the upgrade, renovation and provision of services to the properties sold in 2011 to the former Senate President David Mark and his Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.

Daily Trust recalls that the FGN official Gazette No. 82, Vol. 92 of 15th August 2005 approved guidelines for the sales of FGN Houses in FCT to career public servant exempted the houses of the Senate President and Deputy Senate President and that of the Speaker as well as the Deputy Speaker of the House of Reps amongst others not to be sold for constitutional, statutory and administrative reasons.

However, in a dramatic twist, the then FCT Minister Bala Mohammed on with October, 2010 in a letter requested the then President, Dr. Good luck Jonathan to grant approval for the houses occupied by the leading principal officers of the NASS to be delisted from the list of essential properties and be sold to their present occupants. This was approved by the then President on 15th, November, 2010.

The Senate President house was valued at N748 million, Speaker House of RepsN670 Million, Deputy Senate President’s was valued at N458 Million while that of the Deputy Speaker, House of Reps was valued at N348 Million. The offer letter dated 30th, November 2010 was signed by Bala Mohammed and was issued to the principal officers of the NASS.
Unconfirmed report however said that despite the houses offered to them at cost, the Senate President and his Deputy, allegedly ignored the valuation and paid less than N60 million each for the properties.

The houses situated at No. 1 Musa Usman Street, Guru App, Abuja FCT was offered to the past Senate President which he accepted and paid via third party RTGS transfer 21 April 2011 from an account domiciled in First Inland Bank account to an account in Oceanic Bank belonging to ADO- HOC committee on sales of FGN Houses in Abuja.
The house situated at No. 2, Jim Nwobodo Street, Guru App, Abuja FCT was offered to the past Deputy Senate President who accepted the offer December 7, 2010 and paid via RTGS transfer on April 14, 2011 from an account domiciled in Zenith Bank account to an account in Oceanic Bank......

Dnt call ekweremadu lightweight
Dude is a heavy weight looter

This must be looked into

We want to see them in court or CCT not reading charges against them on pages of newspaper.

Lawyers want to earn livings and recruit more clerical officers. These people have Billions stashed away.

Ok another pandemonium brewing in the house

Old bubu and his media lapdogs are just grappling at straws!!! We would have to teach him the difference between 1984 and 2015

Very soon they will probe the Mosquitoes in the national Assembly to ensure a corruption free society in Naija

Tinubu at work. When will APC stop ruling through propaganda?

who go send dem go prison? U? Una no dey tire to dey convict people on social media

Buhari, even if all Nigerians are found to be corrupt, ensure you jail every single one.

No one should be spared.

I read the comments and I've finally concluded that Nigerians have not suffered enough. Nigerians hate anyone who dares to be righteous - a direct insult to their own evil ways, they will never change unless they rest in jail.

We need more prisons in every local government, not for the corrupt leadership, but for the followership who celebrate and will protect them.

Imagine! No comment on the alleged crimes against the state, but the personalities that must be protected and the president who's efforts at tackling corruption that must be frustrated.

Please, I have asked this question about twice now, but i'll ask again.

Chukwudi44, what exactly do you stand for as a person?

same thing y'all said about Saraki but he's facing trial now

drss:

if there are valid documents proving this then it is no propaganda, people tend to misuse the word propaganda

Ok

seems some people don't know what propaganda means. It is not falsehood or lies, but presenting the truth in a way to suit your needs or prove your point. So people should stop using it as if all what we are hearing are lies. If there is a propaganda against you, you too should find a means to tackle it, it's neither illegal or immoral.

Seems propaganda has now turn to the most used word in the political discussion these days
