– Chief Edwin Clark has delivered a damning verdict on the members of the National Assembly following the budget padding scandal – Expresses sadness that poor Nigerians now sell their children to feed while greedy lawmakers buy posh cars worth millions of naira – Describes as annoying and shameful the way the lawmakers fix their projects in the national budget 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. https://www.naij.com/913841-state-nation-edwin-clark-exposes-enemies-nigeria.html?source=index_main |

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. #Youtharise 1 Like |
