The Speaker, Matthew Kolawole, who just returned from the U.S., as part of the delegation to the just-concluded United Nations General Assembly meeting, is being asked by some aggrieved members to explain the whereabouts of the N200 million, believed to be a largesse to lawmaker.
The Speaker, at the resumed hearing yesterday, however debunked the allegations, saying they were the handiwork of those ‘intent in putting spanners’ in the Assembly’s work.
The money was allegedly released by Governor, Yahaya Bello last month to facilitate approval of a loan request.
The lawmakers were said to have turned down the request, which the Speaker reportedly turned round to approve without their knowledge.
A source at the Assembly further alleged that the governor gave Kolawole N200 million for the members, but he went away with N120 million.
The source, who pleaded for anonymity, said the speaker only released N80 million to them.
“One of the lawmakers approached the governor to find out how much was given to the speaker and the governor confirmed giving him N200 million,” he said.
At yesterday’s sitting, Chairman of the House Committee on Public Accounts Musa Omiata (Yagba East) said: “There was no time, under the leadership of Kolawole, that a request to approve a N10 billion loan came, and on no account was the speaker asked to share N200 million with the lawmaker.”]]>
