THE
House of Representatives on Wednesday said the bribery tapes exposing
the negotiations between a businessman, Mr. Femi Otedola, and a
lawmaker, Farouk Lawan, were targeted at diverting attention from the
subsidy probe report.
Reacting to the audio tapes aired on
independent Channels Television station and the bribery saga, spokesman
for the lower legislative chamber, Zakari Mohammed, said, “House is
worried, more so that these are all distractions deliberately created to
divert attention from the report of the fuel subsidy probe.
“Our position as a House is that let
relevant anti-graft agencies implement the recommendations of the
report. They should pick up the report and commence prosecution.”
