He argued that the amount is not so outrageous in the face of current economic realities in the country, adding that the payment is one time only. “Some talked about the amount and I think that was quite moderate because the law says any part of the country. If you want to use 200 million naira in Lagos, it probably might just be a grant to them because they need to add money to build a befitting house in Lagos or wherever,” he said. The Edo Speaker also commented on the suspension of former Speaker of the House, Victor Edoror. Following his impeachment on May 4, an ad-hoc committee headed by Emmanuel Agbaje was set up to investigate the former speaker over alleged misappropriation of fund. Edoror was suspended over his failure to appear before the committee, and the current Speaker insisted that the action followed due process. “I set up another committee to invite him so that we can hear from him to give us their report within three months as it is usual during that period he remains suspended, that’s what we’ve just done. “We are in the same party. It is not a political thing, it’s not a personal thing, we are from the same senatorial district. I actually thought I was doing him a favour,” he explained.]]>
