Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, a staunch loyalist of presidential aspirant Bola Tinubu, has initiated a vast corruption probe of interior minister Rauf Aregbesola at the House of Representatives.

Mr Gbajabiamila presided over the plenary on Wednesday where it was decided that Mr Aregbesola and prisons chief Haliru Nababa should be probed for mismanaging up to N165 billion in funds earmarked for prisons development across the country.

The resolution followed a motion of urgent public importance by Ndudi Elumelu, the minority leader of the House on the floor of the House on Wednesday in Abuja. In his argument, Mr Elumelu criticised the welfare of the workforce


“The House is disturbed that despite this Act and increase in budgetary allocations to the Nigerian Correctional Service to drive its renewed mandate, the tempo and quality of the Service have remained the same if not retrogressing,” Mr Elumelu said. “The House is worried that the working conditions of Staff and inmates’ welfare have deteriorated notwithstanding the over N165 billion budget allocations to the Service in the last two years.”

The legislators resolved to have its committee on Reformatory Institutions investigate the allegations and report to the House within 12 weeks for further legislative action.

The move comes as Messrs Aregbesola and Tinubu are slugging it out publicly over the power tussle in Osun state. On Monday, Mr Aregbesola was at a political rally where Mr Tinubu was severely derided, including being mocked over the viral video that many said amounted to public urination on his body.

Mr Aregbesola has been locked in a fierce political fray with his former chief of staff and successor, Gboyega Oyetola, accusing him and Mr Tinubu of conniving to destroy his legacy in Osun. Messrs Tinubu and Oyetola are believed to be of the same family, with Mr Oyetola often describing himself as a younger brother to Mr Tinubu.

Peoples Gazette has reached Mr Gbajabiamila’s office to find out whether or not the probe has connection to the ongoing rift between Messrs Tinubu and Aregbesola

Still yoruba muslims affair ....gbaja is trying to prove Aregberascal cus of his issues With tinubu not because he wanna fight corruption in the ministry of interior

But this is Nigeria ....Corruption will always fight back

Racoon:
So the equally corrupt Gbaja led HOR sat quietly until now before remembering that prisons funds are being misappropriated because of the unending rift between his godfather and Aregbejegbese? This is why karma will continue to punish these greedy and wicked politicians so that they keep exposing their evil by themselves.

baby factory criminals and drug traffickers developers IPOB miscreants and mkpurumiri addicts have submitted their brains to ohamadike monkey Kanu, they can reason anymore, Elumelu raised a motion, brain damage mkpurumiri addicts IPOB miscreants developers said it was gbaja, well it is a season of monkeys and dogs barking at the moon.

Alba3:
The comments above show most Nigerians only read sensational headlines. It's a pity that Gbaja is already being blamed for minority leader, Elumelu's motion in the house floor.

People that hated Aregbesola as Osun governor and call him all sorts of name are now his lovers, just because he's fighting Oyetola.

Trust me, you sound so fullish

IgweOfNnewi:
What do I expected from you, Romans 1:28 have finished your case

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Wazobia2216:
Not in support of Aregbesola but Gbajabiamila

In what capacity

He didn't probe the bullion vans at Tinubu's place.

He didn't probe Aregbesola all these while until he spoke against Tinubu

No wonder Nigerians don't take these HORs seriously

They had better tread with care, they will soon realize that Aregbesola is not Ambode!!!

Aregbesola na weré redefined!

Wazobia2216:

You just described your condition!

Go through your first comment and look at yourself in the mirror!

Mooh247:


But what is Gbajabiamilas business in all this?!

Ndudi Elumelu is PDP from Delta, and he raised the motion Gbajabiamila

The whole house approved the probe not Gbajabiamila

The house committee to probe Aregbesola , Gbajabiamila is not a part of it

We all know how the Nigeran HORs treats motions not palatable to their ears!

Are you not a Nigerian

IgweOfNnewi:
Oooooooooh

Wazobia2216:
Your pix is your true reflection of you in the mirror!
You looked well!
Hypocritical being!
