In my opinion, most of the people on this site do not like reading or want to read.

For the record, in my opinion, the chief of staff of the president should resign, and I suspect that the investigation would die a natural death. After all we have a budget that was padded to the brim, and no one is doing anything about it.

But the real reason why senate is not investigating is because ICPC is already investigating. Once ICPC Is on the case, senate does not need to come in and be doing a job that ICPC Is already doing. In a way, though, senate may want to look at the approval process, expesially since some of its own may have been involved in the scam, but then again they are not as neutral as they seem to be. Also, the ICPC May issue summons to senators, who will refuse to respond, and then the whole investigation dies a natural death.

Which is what I expect it to be...investigation dies a natural death.

But the reason, again for the senate not investigating is not to cover up anything, but to avoid duplication. ICPC is already on the job, it is in theory a neutral body and the senate isn't, so at the end, let's see whether ICPC would do a good enough job. Whenter they will is another matter.

(EFCC isn't on the case, I daresay, because the chap at the center was photographed with the EFCC boss).

The OP basically lied about the reason why the senate was not investigating. We all bash government propagandaists here, but then people come and behave like the government propagandaists. Then when we vote out APC we wonder why things are not changing.

A nation is doomed when majority of its people are lost, neckdeep in callousness, immune to empathy, conscience and integrity.... A democratic nation dies when it's national assembly that should be the voice of the people, a beacon of hope and moral compass is filled with heartless greedy political rogues and unrepentant serial looters..... Nigeria is finished as all public institutions have failed....

The OP is an absolute idiot.

Whats with the need to always project negativity with everything concerning Nigeria?

From the article posted, it wasn't outrightly shut down. They just asked to wait till ICPC concludes it's investigation on it which sounds reasonable. The senate is not a primary investigative body and it's the reports from the investigative bodies they'll use in their probe.

Wait ?!! U said wait?!! Yiu think everyone is a fool? Senate all over the world conducts enquiries on matters that deals with especially budget appropriations! The executive should have been recluse itself from investigating the matter and the Senate allowed to set up an independent panel of enquiry.

So after ICPC published or refuse to publish theyr findings, Nigerians would be tricked to forget or arm twisted to believe there's objectivity in the report?

Ppl like you are the major issues of Nigeria, corrupt, manipulative and greedy individuals

Go school u sey no!
Now see d outcome of your illiteracy on display!

nairalanda1:
Well, the reason why the bunch of...whoever are not investigating is that the ICPC is investigating.

The mob is out making claims and frothing from the mouth once again . Emotions . What else .
The president has ordered a probe from ICPC.
The man at the eye of the storm actually raised the alarm and got the principal suspect arrested.
Again, like they did with in the incident of lawyer bestseller , they will never see the utmost importance of the one who alleges, to prove , or why the one who alleges has absconded .
They are not amplifying it here that the no 1 suspect admitted on phone to their Ratel lord that he never met the Cos face to face or can say for certain that the person he spoke with as Cos was actually him .

While I admit that the issue of the budget allocation to this bogus agency is damning., we still have to await full investigation from the anti-graft agency before making imbalanced judgement just because , well, you are that type of vindictive , small-minded folks .
And to be a staunch believer in a man that didn't get to the root of hundreds of millions transported in state government vehicles to lagos while calling for heads to roll now before proper investigation just peoves what we all know you lot for ! Quasi-patriots .

erad:
You're an idiot like the OP.

You're always so quick to bring up other countries, yet you are the same one who said the executive should have reclused itself which means you agree that both investigations occurring simultaneously is counterproductive.

Everyone not in support of your fire brigade approach is always an enemy of the country. You know the proper way things should be done but you always act like you're more patriotic than the rest of us and when your method backfires, you still look for someone to blame.

Nah una want democracy, this is what your democracy is about. Deal with it.

HacheNoire:
This is a big shame and taint to the Nigerian government in general.

They don’t even have any iota of shame!

Gradually, I being forced to accept that His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is part of the corruption!

He can’t even fire Gbajabiamila and just staring like a portrait in the government house.

[b]You're not making any sense.

franvincoop:
You are neither here no there but quoting people up and down with a hypocritical explanation.

1. You are saying Senate should not investigate because ICPC is already investigating and there should not be duplicity and waste of resources abi?
2. In another breath you are also saying that Senate should look at it's internal approval process abi?

nairalanda1:
I stopped at number 2 because it is obvious you didnt read to understand what I was saying.

GO back and read it again, slowly, with understanding.
