Eight years ago they were confidants. They ate together, laughed together, cried together. The pain of one was the pain of the other and the joy of one was the joy of the other. They jointly celebrated. They jointly defended the state against EFCC invasions.


They were “like lightning and thunder, inseparable.” All those disappeared, melted away when power entered their lives. Now, along this very narrow corridor, they meet. One takes a furtive glance at the other and pretends he does not exist. He made to pass him...

Amaechi: Bros, so you don’t know how to greet again?

Wike: Shouldn’t I have said that? You who saw me from afar and threw away your face as if no one is here. If you can’t acknowledge my sheer size, at least, my position should have been respected...


Amaechi: Your position? What position? Governor? Mchewwww. (Looks aside) As if he is the first to be governor. He has forgotten I was there for eight years...an upstart empowered by us.


Wike: Eight years, and so what? I hope you are not getting carried away by your social media worshippers who call you ‘Jagaban’ of Niger Delta; Commander of South South politics? You have forgotten that goats follow only the one with fresh palm fronds and no one makes way for the rider of the horse of yesterday. You even hissed at the governor of your state. If it were under the military, you know what the wages of that sin would have been?


Amaechi: You are not my governor. Have you forgotten what the tribunal said? If you like kontinuu to insult me, strutting all around like a peacock. We will soon organise a reception to welcome you back home so you can resume the only title you merit — husband of your wife...

Wike: Is that the assurance you got from your witches and wizards? They have lost their vision. You will be disappointed.

Amaechi: Meanwhile, sorry o. I can see you now know how painful it could be to be without a powerful mum to run to every five minutes. Those guys really spoilt you while their power lasted. How are you going to cope now? Now that Mummy and Daddy are no longer in the Villa, who do you report me to now? Villaless governor. Dia Ris Godu ooo...


Wike: I know you have no respect for elders. And I am not surprised; even the one who created your political relevance, how did you treat him? That is why we are making you an Abuja politician. Just remain there with your insults.

Amaechi: You know what it means to be minister under a saintly General?


Wike: Minister? So, you are this excited because a Fulani man wants to make you the new Orubebe? Ok o....I thought you were so blessed with a very huge sense of self- worth. What has gotten into you? I can’t believe my Rotimi is falling head over heels because he is going to do what small men already did.

Amaechi: Look, Chief of Staff...


Wike: Who is your Chief of Staff? Continue eating today’s pounded yam with last year’s bushmeat. I moved on to higher grounds when you felt threatened by my clout. You thought Abuja would pluck my beautiful feathers but I came back a peacock — king of birds...


Amaechi: Peacock indeed. A songless bird beautified with our plumage is now flaunting its feathers in our face. No wonder you roll, stroll and strut the streets as if you are the first to be governor here....


Wike: I may not be the first to be governor here but I am the first to demystify a sitting governor in Rivers State. You couldn’t install your protege and so the whole world won’t know peace, abi? Abeegi. I cowed you and you won’t stop smarting from the well deserved humiliation. I will...


Amaechi: Now, listen! You know the meaning of living on borrowed time? If you don’t, I promise I will show you the meaning soon...very soon.



Wike: When are you returning our money? Amaechi: Which money? Did I sign any cheque? Abegi...say something else joor. Wike: And the other time you said you never took or gave a bribe in your life, Rotimi. It is me Nyesom talking o...Can you swear by your third leg that you meant what you said?



Amaechi: I’m a Christian. You are the native doctor who can swear by Egbesu gods...if you like go to Benin or Ile Ife to swear by their 201 gods...me, na only one God I am looking up to...


Wike: That reminds me of the rivers we crossed before we could take power here...Now, look into my eyes....say those words again....




Rotimi looks at Nyesom. His lips about to say something but, at that moment, a pilot strolled in to tell one of them his jet was ready. The other sends for his own pilot to ask when his own flight will be set...They cast one last, long look at each other...Former friends...tomorrow is another day. It is a dream!

THE destination was Inagbe Grand Beach
Resort on one of the islands that dot the
Lagos lagoon waterway heading to Badagry.
The take-off point was the jetty along
Queens Drive, Ikoyi where a luxury boat
latched to the jetty bobbed to the rise and
fall of the waves on the lagoon. Each
member of the team made his or her way to
the boat, collected a life jacket and gingerly
stepped into the boat.


The leather settee felt comfortable.The boatparaded a 1, 000 horse power twin outboard engine. The last person to come on board was a tall, young man in navy blue shirt and white chinos trousers. He had stayed back to ensure that everyone was comfortably accommodated. He boarded the vessel and glanced round to make sure everybody was comfortable and safe. Then he ordered the boat operator to launch the trip.


In the course of the comfortable 15-minute
cruise to the resort, some of us got to know
that the person that courteously supervised
the boarding was the resort’s owner, then
Prince Adeyeye Ogunwusi. Today, he is the
Ooni of Ife.


At Inagbe Grand Beach Resort, right from
the wooden walkway that extended deep
onto the lagoon with the floating lounge on
the water, everything about the resort was
classy and special. It was also obvious that
a broad-minded person who understood
tourism conceptualized the resort.

Former Niger Delta Minister, Elder Godsday
Orubebe, has denied allegations of
corruption levelled against him by the Code
of Conduct Tribunal, claiming that he is
being framed for his unalloyed support for
former President Goodluck Jonathan.




Orubebe, who is being charged before the
Code of Conduct Tribunal, told Vanguard in
Abuja that he had not committed any
offence to warrant being vilified by the
present administration.




The former minister also declared that he
neither demanded nor collected bribe
throughout his six-year tenure as a minister
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He said he was convinced that the CCT was
out to frame him given the way it had
already begun his trial in the media when he
had only been served with the summons to
appear before the court on November 9,
2015.




He said: “I was served with Code of Conduct
Tribunal summons on Friday last week and
the paper, which I personally signed and
collected, stated that I was expected to
appear before them on November 9. I was
taken aback by the news that I had already
been arraigned. This tells me that it is an
issue of witch-hunt which is not good for
this country. It is not good to take me to the
public court before being tried. The issues
contained in the summons are that I took
N50 million bribe from one of the
contractors who handled a project for the
Ministry of Niger Delta and another N20
million from the same contractor as well as
not declaring my plots of land in Asokoro
and Kyame districts of Abuja. I find these
charges very empty and frivolous.”

Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud
Mohammed, at the weekend said the
judiciary has been properly positioned to
meet the challenges posed by the dynamics
of digital age.


The CJN spoke while playing host to some
members of the Nigeria Electronic Fraud
Forum, NEFF, led by Deputy Governor
(Operations) of the Central Bank of Nigeria,
CBN, Alhaji Suleiman Barau.


The visit, according to Barau, was in
anticipation of increase in electronic fraud
attempts with imminent increase in
electronic payments in the country following
the take-off of the “Cash-less Lagos” pilot
project.


The CJN told the group that as a matter of
principle, the judiciary gives priority to fraud
or criminal cases, especially those brought
on appeal to the Supreme Court and the
Court of Appeal.



The problem associated with adjudication of
criminal cases, the CJN noted, was not
mainly in the courts, but outside of it.
“It is in the investigation, collection of
evidence, presentation of the cases and trial.
“Judiciary is like a builder, and works with
materials that are brought to it. As such, the
materials necessary for construction must
measure up to standard in order to be
applied by the courts.


“Court cannot carry out investigation and
our security agencies must be encouraged
to carry out investigation-led arrest and not
arrested-led investigation,” he said.
The CJN further counselled that once
suspects are charged to courts, there should
not be too many counts of offences
(charges) as each count charge requires a
witness or more.


“In some cases, up to 200 count charge are
brought before the court which is a waste of
court’s time and makes mockery of the
constitution and the laws,” he added.


The CIN said most superior courts in the
country, including the Supreme Court, have
enacted practice directions on serious
crimes, including money laundering and
fraud, which should see cases being fast
tracked for trial and determination
“I wish to assure the Forum that the
judiciary will stand with the Banker’s
Committee in providing an effective solution
to electronic fraud and other ancillary issues.


“Indeed, it is our hope that soon Nigeria will
become a major destination for the
movement of capital investment,” the CJN
added
On his part, the CBN deputy governor stated
that; given the importance of providing
secure payment systems, whilst ensuring
public confidence in electronic means of
payment, the role of proactive fraud
management could not be overemphasised.


He said it was in this context and leveraging
on lessons learnt from past experience (e.g.
ATM magnetic stripe card frauds) that the
Nigeria e-Fraud Forum was established.
Barau disclosed that Payment System
industry losses have grown to over N4bn,
which give credence to the fact that e-fraud
has become an industry of its own.
The Forum, he said, recognises the role of
the judiciary as strategic partners in
stemming e-fraud.

The River State Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah has again
said that the confirmation of Hon Rotimi
Amaechi as minister of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria is a an approval of corruption.
Obuah in a statement signed by by his
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity,
Jerry Needam, said that the intrigues
surrounding the ministerial screening of
former Rivers State governor, Rotimi
Chibuike Amaechi and his eventual
confirmation for appointment as a Minister
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by the All
Progressives Congress, APC dominated
Senate is an official endorsement of
corruption and gross abuse of democracy.
This is the view of the Rivers State chapter
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in
reaction to the nod given to president
Buhari’s choice of Amaechi as one of his
Ministers despite the monumental
allegations of fraud, looting of State treasury
and unprecedented abuse of trust while he
held sway as Governor of the State for eight
wasted years, as contained in the Justice
George Omereji led – Judicial Commission
of inquiry and the Rivers State Government
white paper which indicted Amaechi.
Bro Felix Obuah said for throwing the most
revered rules of the Senate and the sanctity
of the laws of the land to the winds for the
singular reason to compensate an indicted
party member does not only amount to fait
accompli but also exposes the hypocrisy of
the APC-led federal government that
anchored its campaign slogan on anti-
corruption crusade.
The State PDP Chairman who expressed
shock that the APC Senates could descend
so low as to fling away the report of the
ethics and privileges committee just to have
their way without minding the feelings of the
people they are representing amount to
formal approval of corruption.
He however, commended the courage of the
PDP Senators for staging a walk-out, which
is a historic statement that they were not
and could not be part of the
institutionalization of corruption in Nigeria
and the legalization of criminality and
scarification of integrity on the altar of
loyalty.
Bro Obuah remarked for the umptieth time
that Amaechi is only representing the
interests of his benefactors and definitely
not Rivers people as the State prefers to
suffer persecution for standing on the side
of truth and what is right to being eulogized
and pampered as a chief servant in a slave
house.
“While we look to the end of the APC-led
federal government which has started on
precarious feet of falsehood and deceit, we
can only say that the end can never
contradict its means which in this case, is
suspect.
Our regret is the APC’s disservice and
disappointment to the entire Nigerians
whose hope of getting a better alternative
government from the Buhari administration
and 8th Senate has been dashed.
It’s an illusion to think that Amaechi and his
like as ministers would perform anything
different from what they did while they
served in all other capacities”, the State PDP
boss declared.

The PDP governorship candidate in the forthcoming election in Kogi State Idris Wada may likely not win the state as the civil servants are upset for owning up to 8 months salary.

They complain that if a governor can have money to re-contest election, what stops him from paying salaries of workers in the State.

It has also been reported that Buhari is still withholding bail out fund for Kogi State despite releasing funds to his desired states.

This act by the president could be a ploy to bring in APC candiadtae Abubakar Audu to the forefront of Kogi State as the better option in the coming polls.
For this reason, The Kogi State chapter of NLC and TUC have embarked on strike

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode on Sunday engaged Lagosians on Twitter on how his government intends to address prevalent challenges facing the state while stressing his commitment towards actualizing his development agenda for the state.



Ambode who made the remarks during an interview session anchored on Twitter by a social media influencer, Japheth Omojuwa said he was privilege to feel the pulse of Lagos via social media.

Nigeria's president Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said Nigeria is broke, for this reason he won't be able to pay ministers.
In response to this, two Ministerial Nominees ADEBAYO SHITTU and PROF ISAAC ADEWOLE have declared interest to work for free. They told newsmen that serving Nigeria is more important than their earning.

TALK IS CHEAP, ALL THESE ARE PLOY TO BUY THE HEART OF THE CITIZEN. Who dosent need money? even NON-PROFIT ORGANISATIONS like N.G.Os are profit oriented.
In my opinion, Nigeria is not broke.

ABUJA —The Court of Appeal sitting in
Abuja, yesterday, expunged some
paragraphs of the petition that led to the
annulment of the April 11 governorship
election that brought Governor Nyesom Wike
of Rivers State to power.


In a judgment it delivered, a three-man panel
of Justices of the Appeal Court headed by
Justice Datti Yahaya, struck out portions of
the petition alleging that security agents
were used to rig the election in favour of
Wike and the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP.


The decision of the appellate court followed
an interlocutory appeal that was lodged
before it by the APC and its governorship
candidate in Rivers State, Dr. Dakuku
Peterside.


Both APC and Peterside had gone before the
court to challenge the ruling of the previous
chairman of the Rivers State Governorship
Election Petition Tribunal panel, Justice
Muazu Pindiga, which deleted paragraphs of
the petition containing criminal allegations
against unnamed security operatives.


Justice Pindiga, who was subsequently
removed from presiding over the petition by
the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice
Zainab Bulkachuwa, based his decision on
the fact that the petitioners failed to join the
said security agents and other persons it
said participated in the alleged electoral
fraud as parties to the suit.


Among those that the APC alleged
masterminded the rigging of election in
Rivers State included wife of former
President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame
Patience.


But, dissatisfied with the ruling of the lower
tribunal, the petitioners took the matter
before the appellate court.
While upholding the decision of the tribunal
yesterday, the appeal court held that
paragraphs of the petition containing
allegations of electoral crime against named
and unnamed security agents and alleged
political thugs should be expunged from the
record of the tribunal.


The court stressed that the petitioners ought
to have joined the accused security agents
and political thugs as parties to the petition.
Specifically, the court directed that
evidences that were led against security
agents and political thugs, whether named
or unnamed, in the course of hearing of the
petition against Wike, where the said security
agents and alleged political thugs were not
joined as parties, should be struck out.


The Court of Appeal further directed that all
the criminal allegations contained in the
petition against the said security agents and
alleged political thugs be expunged as they
had no opportunity to defend themselves at
the tribunal.


The court held that in cases where criminal
allegations were made against institutions,
agents and individuals, the law required that
in the interest of justice, they should be
joined as parties to the matter.
Other members of the appeal court panel
that delivered the judgment were Justices
Tanim Yusuf and Mustapha Mohammed.

ENUGU – Director of Radio Biafra and Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, who was arrested at Golden Tulip Essential Hotel, Ikeja, on Saturday, has been granted bail.

Although, he is yet to fulfill his bail conditions.IPOB’s lawyer, Mr.

Egechukwu Obetta lamented that Nnamdi Kanu was put in the same cell with terrorists despite his life threatening health challenges.He said Kanu is selective to delicacies, adding that he (Kanu) vowed never to eat any food served by the Federal Government of Nigeria.


However, midway into the chat with his lawyer, a call came in, indicating that Kanu has been granted bail in the sum of N2 million or with surety of N2 million with a civil servant of grade level 16.

Obetta further said that “Last week, the Afenifere threatened to secede but nobody was vilified. I am talking about the recent Olu Falae’s kidnap case. The militants in the Niger Delta has done same.”

More details soon

A former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has called on president Muhammadu Buhari to release the Director of pirate radio, Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who was arrested on Saturday by Nigeria secret police, the Department of State Services (DSS). Fani-Kayode took to his Facebook and twitter pages few minutes ago to post the message below.

"I call on @MBuhari to release Nnamdi Kanu. It is unlawful to keep anyone in detention for more than 3 days without charging him to court."

It’s taken nearly five months but Nigeria —
Africa’s biggest economy, most populous
nation and number one oil producer — may
get a government this week.


Final screening of 36 ministerial nominees is
due to take place from Tuesday, ending a
lengthy process that has earned President
Muhammadu Buhari a less than flattering
nickname.


Buhari, dubbed “Baba Go Slow” for the time
it has taken him to appoint ministers since
he took office in May, will then assign the
candidates portfolios once they are
approved.


Buhari declared before his election:
“Corruption will have no place and the
corrupt will not be appointed to my
administration.”


He has already begun a purge of the NNPC,
appointing Kachikwu and ordering an audit
of the group’s opaque accounting practices
to identify and recover stolen funds.


At the same time, former oil minister Diezani
Alison-Madueke was arrested in London as
part of a British investigation into
international corruption.


Her arrest — and the sealing of her house in
Abuja by Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission agents — has left few in doubt
at Buhari’s seriousness in tackling graft.
But his nomination of Amaechi, his
presidential campaign manager, could
muddy the waters as he is subject to a
probe ordered by the Peoples Democratic
Party in Rivers.


Amaechi switched sides from the PDP to the
APC in 2013 and the elections in March,
which the APC lost in Rivers, were marred
by violence, bad blood and claims of
electoral fraud.


Malte Liewerscheidt, senior Africa analyst at
political consultants Verisk Maplecroft, said
the claims against Amaechi could dent


Buhari’s image as a “Mr Clean”.
“Buhari’s open support of Amaechi, who is
enveloped in corruption allegations, will
furnish the opposition with opportunities to
undermine Buhari’s trademark anti-graft
image,” he said.


Since the first names were submitted to
parliament on September 30, speculation
has been rife about which post goes where.

But some appointments look clearer than
others.


Ibe Kachikwu, the new head of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), is a
virtual certainty to serve as junior oil
minister, after Buhari said he will personally
oversee the ministry himself.


Former army chief Abdulrahman Dambazau
is in line for the defence portfolio, which has
been dominated for the last six years by the
Boko Haram insurgency in the northeast.


Former Ekiti state governor Kayode Fayemi
has been tipped for foreign affairs.
Since he was sworn in on May 29, Buhari
has been running Nigeria with permanent
secretaries (senior civil servants), laying
himself open to charges of autocracy.


But the 72-year-old, who headed a military
government in the 1980s, has blamed the
late reception of handover notes from the
previous administration for the time taken to
make his nominations.


Political commentator Chris Ngwodo
suggested that as well as the “political back-
and-forth” about potential nominees, he has
also been looking at revamping failing
government structures.


“He wanted to finish all that. He wanted to
be able to conduct a proper audit of the
federal bureaucracy before getting
ministers,” he told AFP.


As for the candidates, Buhari — elected on a
promise of “change” — is constitutionally
bound to nominate candidates from each of
Nigeria’s 36 states.


“‘The List’ has much to commend and cause
for thought too,” said Max Siollun, a
historian and author of “Oil, politics and
violence: Nigeria’s military coup culture
(1966-1976)”.


“It is a pragmatic list that combines
technocratic talent with the need for careful
ethno-regional balancing.
“Buhari could not appoint an entire cabinet
100 percent composed of trailblazing
reformers.


“He had to take vested interests into account
and include ministers who may not be his
personal first choices but who are allied to
the politicians that helped him to get
elected.”


The technocrats include Kachikwu, a former
ExxonMobil executive, and Ogun state
finance commissioner Kemi Adeosun, a
former investment banker and accountant,
who has been tipped for finance minister.
Both reflect Buhari’s priorities to overhaul
the notoriously-corrupt oil sector and boost
the economy, which has been battered by
the fall in global oil prices since last year.


Figures such as the former Lagos State
governor Babatunde Fashola and Rotimi
Amaechi, his counterpart in oil-rich Rivers
State, were his “political IOU”, said Ngwodo.
“It’s generally a good balance… personally I
think it’s a decent list for both
considerations,” he added.


“He’s covered the right bases. A lot of it has
shown his own individual mindedness. He’s
been able to assert himself against the
interests of the party.”

ABAKALIKI-THE faction of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB weekend called on the Federal government to immediately release the Radio Biafra Director, Nnamdi Kanu who was arrested by the Department of State Security, DSS in Lagos state.

In a statement issued in Abakaliki, the National Director of Information, MASSOB, Comrade Uchenna Madu threatened that any refusal by the federal government to ensure the release of Kanu would lead to a world wide demonstration, protest which would endanger the already battered image of Nigeria before the international communities.
The statement read in part: “MASSOB Faction condemned the cowardly arrest and detention of Radio Biafra Director but also accept the fact that it is part of non violence struggle; no agitation is complete without arrest, detention & prosecution.
“It shape the minds of the activist, drawing sympathy from the internal and external observers. It also shows that Nnamdi Kanu and Radio Biafra have become a factor of reckoning in Nigeria.
“The arrest & detention of Nnamdi Kanu by DSS will assist immensely in reviving the consciousness & sympathy for Biafra actualization in higher dimension which was temporary halted by Ralph Uwazuruike’s deviation & lust of wealth.
“This singular arrest will cause more diplomatic harm on Nigeria’s image than good. Before Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest, he has succeeded in rooting the Biafra struggle in about 78 countries including Biafraland
“Through Radio Biafra, International tour & secret diplomatic build up. MASSOB warns Nigeria Govt to quickly release Nnamdi Kanu now or arraign him in a competent court of justice or face an eruption of Biafra world wide demonstration, protest which will endanger the already battered image of Nigeria before the international communities and cause more diplomatic harm to Nigeria”

It is a modern co-educational boarding school designed to provide an exciting learning environment for secondary school children. The environment offers world-class facilities, a natural, peaceful and focused setting.One of the things that make the school not yet known to so many people is definitely the cost.

There are so many other things that have to be taken care of for the general welfare of the child which may as well cost as good as the tuition.

Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on
Sunday, responded to a statement said to
have been issued by the National Leader of
his party, the ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, where
he (Tinubu), while reacting to a recent media
report by a national daily (not Vanguard),
accused Saraki of crass disloyalty to party
discipline, giving the manner he captured his
current seat as Senate President.

But in a swift reaction, Saraki who took to
his Facebook page, said he had seen the
statement said to be issued by Senator
Tinubu over the published story, but have
decided not to join issues with him.
Recall that on Saturday, the national daily
had in its publication alleged that the former
Lagos State governor, is reportedly angered
that the ministerial candidates he sent to
President Muhammadu Buhari didn’t scale
through.

The daily reported that Tinubu who was
visibly angry is said to have conspired with
Senator Bukola Saraki to thwart the
President Buhari-led administration, adding
that for this reason, the President had
ordered the security agencies to place
Tinubu under security surveillance.
While reacting on Sunday, in a statement
signed by his chief of staff and special
media adviser, Sunday Dare, Tinubu,
lambasted the daily, saying it took a sad
excursion from journalism into the realm of
gothic tales and political slander.

Among other things, Tinubu affirmed that he
“remains glued to the party decision that the
manner by which Saraki captured his current
seat travestied party discipline. It was a
crass act of disloyalty showing that Saraki
may have joined the APC on paper but has
remained true to the malpractices and wrong
aims of the reactionary PDP in his soul.”
Read Tinubu’s full statement here

SARAKI’S REACTION

Reacting however, Saraki said: “I saw the
statement said to be issued by Senator Bola
Ahmed Tinubu over a story published by a
national daily. I have decided not to join
issues with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
However, I know that most Nigerians are
aware that there has been no meeting or
communication between me and Asiwaju
Tinubu since I was elected Senate President.
“Therefore, I do not see any basis for a
newspaper to report that we are both
plotting to oppose the President. I recognise
Tinubu as one of the leaders of the APC who
contributed so much to the victory of the
party in the last election. Some other people
also contributed and I believe the collective
efforts made it possible for the first time in
the history of our party for an opposition
party to win the general elections.
“Let me state clearly that I remain a
committed member of the APC and will do
all in my power to ensure the party fulfill its
promises to bring positive changes into the
country. Since my election as Senate
President, my focus and efforts have been
devoted to doing the job that I was elected
to do by my constituents and my colleagues
in the Senate. Twice, my colleagues have
confirmed their support for me as the
primus inter pares in the Senate.
“As I said in my speech when we resumed
from our recess late September and in
Ikenne yesterday (Saturday) the screening of
ministerial nominees will be handled by me
and my colleagues with all sense of
responsibility and in adherence to the
provision of the constitution.
“We will be fair to all and be guided by the
interest of Nigeria. The screening will be
devoid of sentiment and it is not an
opportunity for anybody to settle scores. We
are equally eager for us to make a positive
difference in our polity and Nigerians will be
able to judge us whether we acted in their
best interest or not,” added the Senate
President.
