Those Calling For My Sack Are Agents And Merchants Of Corruption - Obono-Obla

                   

....Fires back at House of Representatives resolution

The Chairman, Special Presidential Investigation Panel, SPIP, Okoi Obono-Obla has hit back at the House of Representatives saying the allegedly certificate forgery and corruption is hogwash, balderdash and absolute rubbish.

It will be recalled that the House of Representatives also urged the president to dissolve the panel headed by Obla, requesting that the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, be effectively utilized to perform the function meant for it in the anti-corruption fight.

"It is a hatchet job by agents and merchants of corruption and graft that have looted our country for the past 19 years to intimidate, hound and harass me! But it will not work for them! It is even ridiculous to make such a call, Obono-obla said.

He went further; "They are agents of looters that I have investigated. Is the House of Representatives the Police? I left University 30 years ago. I graduated and went to Law School. I left Law School in 1990 and was called to Bar in June 1991.

"The university screened me and awarded me a Degree  after deeming me worthy and after fulfilling the entry requirements.  I wrote JAMB and scored excellent grades in all the subjects I wrote.

"It is a blackmail contrived by looters and their agents using the House  of Representatives. I have even filled a suit in Court challenging the power of the House of Representatives to conduct such an investigation. But characteristically, the agents of impunity still went ahead to conduct their so call investigation.

"It is a hatchet job with a premeditated mission. So the so called report is illegal and unconstitutional.

Obono-obla further reiterated; "Let me inform Nigerians how this people work.  All the members of the House of Representatives Committee that purportedly investigated me were cohorts of some members of the National Assembly I was investigating.  One of them openly boasted that for daring to investigating some powerful people in the National Assembly I will be dealt with. It is a reaction to my press conference early this week where I informed Nigerians that my Panel has forwarded the names of those under it investigation to the Nigeria Immigration Service to implement the travel ban stipulated by the Executive Order No 6 of 2018 for those under trial and investigation for corruption and abuse of office.

"I must be a genius to pass through University and Law School, practice Law for more than two decades without a “school certificate”. The whole issue is really laughable but it is sad the extent to which corruption can fight back, Obono-obla concluded.

Bayelsa Govt. seals off Agip facility

The Bayelsa State government has sealed the premises of Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) Oil and Gas facility, in Egbebiri, a Biseni Community in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

SYLVA, A DESPERATE POLITICIAN UNDER THREAT FROM HIS CONSCIENCE - DICKSON

...SAY HE RUNS WHEN NOBODY PURSUES HIM The Bayelsa State Governor, the Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson, on Wednesday described former Governor Timipre Sylva as an unpopular and desperate politician whose conscience remains his greatest threat. Dickson said in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media Relations, Mr. FIdelis Soriwei, that Sylva cuts the gnawing image of a troubled man screaming and fleeing at the sight of nobody. Dickson was reacting to a claim by Sylva that the governor was behind a plot to pitch the Chief òf Staff to the President, Mr. Abba Kyari, against him through orchestrated media reports. Soriwei said that Governor Dickson is too involved and indeed occupied with the execution of the mandate the Bayelsa people gave to him, to be distracted by the hallucinations of a politician whose lifeline in politics was the state òf the mood of his political masters. The Governor’s media Aide said that it was queer and absurd that Sylva did not point to any p...
