Nigeria goverment scandal
Back"Madam speaker has the majority members of the House of Representatives and I want to assure us that democracy is a game of number and when we get to the floor of the house we shall demonstrate our strength". Soundbite: Man speaking (English) "This issue as far as I am concern is not about voodoo number is about credibility, is about justifying what is difficult to be justify". Judgement day is now here for the Nigeria's first female speaker of the house of representatives, in a matter of hours from now the clearly divided 360 member house will decide whether madam Patricia Etteh stays or goes. Her opponents wants her to go, but her supporters insists she is staying put. Soundbite: Man speaking (English) "On daily basis we are preaching the gospel of Madam speaker and on an hourly basis we are winning souls". Soundbite: Man speaking (English) What happens during a bazaar is a concept of going going gone, that is going to happen to the speakers seat". The call for the speaker to step down have been intensified following the submission of Idoko Panel Report. So far she has defiled this calls insisting that the report of the panel did not in any way indict her. At least the word indict itself was not used by the panel which says it has no power to do so. Soundbite: Wole Soyinka speaking (English) "It is not the question of indictment or not indictment I think we should not allow technicalities to blow our sense of rectitude and moral conduct". Indictment or no indictment members are expected to begin debating the report when preliminary resumes but this is where the snag is who presides over the debate? The speakers supporters say it will not be out of place if she does. I hope everyone agrees. Brought to you by Mediascrape
