My attention has been drawn to several newspapers and internet stories alleging that a prominent member of the House ad-hoc committee on petroleum subsidy demanded and received the sum of $600,000 as bribe from an oil marketer. I wish to categorically deny that I, or any member of the committee, demanded and received any bribe from anybody in connection with the fuel subsidy probe and I believe this is evident from the thorough an in-depth manner the investigation was carried out and the all encompassing recommendations produced there from as approved by the whole House.The general public is hereby reminded that during and after the investigations, we have severally raised alarm on pressures on us from different quarters. In particular, I wish to refer to the front-page publication in the Leadership Weekend newspaper of 28th April 2012, captioned 'Marketers offered subsidy committee plane load of dollars', where we alerted the public that a marketer promised to fly in a jet loaded with US dollars which he intended to share to both the House Leadership and members of the ad-hoc committee to influence the outcome of the report.
"This clarification is necessary in order to clear all the insinuations being bandied about and, more importantly, to enable the government concentrate on the implementation of the report. The present mudslinging is not unexpected in view of the calibre of people whose actions and inactions were found wanting in the report.
I am aware that in their desperation to discredit the report and divert the attention of the public from the real issues of large scale fraud in high places established in our report, a video footage displaying a caricature of my person allegedly having a dealing with a marketer reminiscent of the military era when dignitaries were invited to the Presidential Villa to watch a video clip of a phantom coup involving Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is already in circulation.
I wish to assure all Nigerians that the sanctity of our report remains unassailable and it will be in the best interest of the country if the relevant authorities faithfully and conscientiously implement the resolutions of the House."

Bloody mallam...sad thing is they won't do jack to him as usual
ReplyDeleteOf course not! Awon ole!!!
ReplyDeleteThief calling thief thief
ReplyDeletehe has lost all respect mschew ole
ReplyDeleteFrom all indications, the man is culpable. There are 2 pertinent questions that need to be answered; 1) Did he go to Otedola's house? 2) Was Zenon's name in the preliminary report and if it was, why was it dropped from the final report that was sent to the plenary? These two allegations are crystal clear. Besides, Farouk has not denied anything. He was only being Clintonesque in it. Remember "I smoked but I didn't inhale" and "I did not commit any sexual relations with that woman". Farouk said that he did not receive any 'bribe' money. When asked again if he received any money, he still replied that he did not receive any 'bribe' money. The man is just trying to be clever by a half...
ReplyDeleteI sincerely believe Farouk Lawan. He has been in the house for more than 8 years and we never hear of such about him. He has always been an honest man. I think they are doing this to distract the attention of the public and FG not to implement the recommendations.
ReplyDelete@naijarian u mean he said he did not receive 'bribe' money? So means he collected money but he didn't think it was bribe..hehehehehe.naija I hail ooooo
