N628 Million to renovate Official Quarters? You dey build mansion ni?

Ms Etteh

I weeaaaaaak when I read that N628 million was approved legally (or illegally) to renovate the official quarters of the top senate officials. In an attempt to douse this controversy, Punch reports that they are now claiming it was just N238m and not N628m. They state that:

The contracts were for the renovation of Etteh’s official residence at a whopping cost of N238m, the renovation of the home of the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Babangida Nguroje, and the purchase of 12 cars.

Dem dey mad ni? People never eat and dem dey spend dis kain money to renovate house. Na gold dem use build de house ni? Why are our leaders just crooks? Why is it that they dont have any interest for the nation at hear? All they care about is their own self interest.

This new congress has not passed any noticeable law. They have not done anything substantial in the last 3 or so months. There was first the story that the speaker used public money for a B-day bash in the US and now this? This woman should be ashamed of herself. Ms. Etteh had the honour of being the first female speaker in Nigeria and this is now what she has become known for.

Today, Vanguard reports that she is under pressure to quit. Punch reports that she had a secret meeting with the Senate President in order to come up with a strategy. This Day reports that she is moving to douse the impeachment plot.

This is a bunch of BS. She should be impeached and imprisoned for that matter!
