“The speaker should step down for
proper investigation. Nobody is
hunting him but he should step down
for a committee to do its work and
investigate the issue. The speaker
begged us that we should forgive him.
He also begged for the principal
officers. He said that the House
should forget what happened in the
2016 budget. But Hon. Sani Zoro told
the speaker that the house will forgive
him, but we have to accompany him
to beg Nigerians. When he was
begging, you could see the
desperation on his face that he does
not want to leave the seat. He loves
the position of speaker so much. My
question to him is, did he connive with
the principal officers to steal the N40
billion? There are so many frauds in
the budget that I did not even know
until now. The speaker took four
projects to his farm, including a
fielder road”he said
