You introduced bribery and corruption to National Assembly; Dino Melaye writes Obasanjo

Image
“I have tremendous respect for president Olusegun Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo. Elder statesman,respected pan Africanist and committed patriot. I went through the letter written to all Senators and members of the House of Representatives. The letter i can see is a misplacement of anger. Our leader is mistaken the 8th National Assembly as the same Senate Assembly that defrauded him in 2007. Those who collected his money and refused to implement the 3rd term agenda.  I appeal to baba that we are not the ones please.

There was the case of bribery introduced by the obasanjo regime in the desperate attempt to remove speaker Ghali Umar Na'abba from office then. In fact there was open display of that bribery money on the floor of the house.  That government exposed the National Assembly to corruption and easy money. I hope this is not in an attempt to cover up and d...
