Akpabio Knows Fate Today Over Contract Allegation
The House of Representatives will decide today on allegation by Niger Delta Minister Senator Godwill Akpabio that National Assembly members were the biggest beneficiaries of contracts from the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The House gave the Minister 48-hour ultimatum to publish list of lawmakers in the 9th Assembly who got contracts from the NDDC.
Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, who said that his initial reaction was to have a good laugh, declared he will take the matter seriously.
He gave the Minister 48 hours to publish the list, including names of legislators, the contract awarded to them, when it was awarded, amount involved and extent of execution of the contract.
The Reps are expected to take a decision on the matter on Thursday before adjourning for their two- month annual break.
