Did I just watch a script from Nollywood?
The recently introduced whistle blowing policy of the Federal Government in the anti-corruption fight is increasingly becoming a child’s play and a caricature in the Senate. A senator standing in the hallowed chamber of the upper legislative house, blowing a whistle, is nothing but a caricature. We do not need to see the whistle blowers doing their thing for us to take them seriously. Enough of these melodramatic jokes in the National Assembly!
Let Oak tv and Sekibo tender their evidence in court and claim the $50m for Rivers. The court order for a claimant to recover the money ends on the 5th May. Just about two days from now. So hurry up, Oak TV, Sekibo and Wike.
Interesting! May I use this opportunity to announce that I have in store a huge stock of high quality whistles of various sizes for sale and distribution. I’m particularly interested in customers from the Senate, because I noticed that Senator Sekibo’s whistle is of inferior quality, very unbefitting of a Senator of the Federal Republic. It’s getting quite interesting, I tell you!
Pengele mess…
We will review and take appropriate action.
