Breaking News: : HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES SET TO CLEAR FAROUK LAWAN

OTEDOLLAR SAGA 

Information in is  that the Ethics and Privileges Committee of the House of Representatives is likely to clear Hon. Farouk Lawan of the Otedollar saga in a matter of days. Information reaching us is that some members of the Committee are in favour of clearing Farouk.

The view of the Chairman of the Committee, Hon Gambo Dan Musa, is likely to carry the day. It would be recalled that the Cahirman is already biased. In July he had insulted Otedola when he said “He refused to say anything and he was just laughing. It was very stupid of him and we are not happy too” he said angrily as other members of the committee on ethics, gave a Yes! chorus one after the other, in response to the name calling.

It would be recalled that Farouk was chair of the House Adhoc Committee probing the Fuel Subsidy regime but he fell into troubled water when one of those he ws investigating, Femi Otedola, Chairman of Zenon Oil, alleged that Farouk asked for a bribe, a charge that Farouk denied until Otedola provided a video of the incidence following which Farouk changed his story and first said the image in the video was a 'carricature' and later said he took the money to set up Otedola.
