Chief Edwin Clark has described members of the
National Assembly as the “most corrupt and
number one enemies of this country”.
The elder statesman and first republic minister of
information delivered the damning verdict on the
federal lawmakers during a press briefing
organised by the authorities of Edwin Clark
University, Kiagbodo, Delta state on Tuesday,
August 2.
Speaking on the backdrop of the budget padding
scandal that has rocked the House of
Representatives, Clark expressed sadness that
“poor Nigerians now sell their children to feed
while greedy lawmakers buy posh cars worth millions of naira".
He said the most annoying is the shameful and
unscrupulous way they fix their projects in the
national budget.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Police has begun a
probe of the alleged budget padding by the
speaker of the House of Representatives,
Yakubu Dogara and some of his principal
officers.
The Nation reports that the acting inspector-
general of police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, has raised
a five-man special team to probe the alleged
budget padding scandal.
Yakubu Dogara, his deputy Yusuff Lasun, chief
whip Alhassan Ado Doguwa and minority leader,
Leo Ogor, have been invited to appear before the
assistant inspector-general of police (AIG)
Amodu Ali-led special investigative panel (SIP)
on Friday, August 6.
In a related development, the All Progressives
Congress (APC) on Tuesday, August 2, met with
the former chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, Abdulmumin Jibrin, at the party’s
secretariat in Abuja over allegations on the
Budget padding leveled against Dogara.

Agreed! Not just the National Assembly members but all those in leadership positions

My dear let's deal with these crooks at the dirty chamber first. Saraki and Dogara must go and other worthless ones. These thievery must stop.

The National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly pose a the greatest threat to our democracy and unity. They are the UNSEEN ENEMIES that until the youths realise this and know we can have any one of them leave the office, that day will birth the New Revolution.

Those guys are the reason our brothers get killed during elections, same reasons our mothers stand under the scorching sun and they will turn to put division amongst the populace but within them, there's unity in Ghana must go bags.
