$100,000 Bribe; Is This True?

Daniel Elombah

Sources at the National Assembly also disclosed, “ the Yar’Adua’s group has moved in money, I mean real money, in foreign currency to woo senators to reject some key nominees so as to slow down the Acting President.”
The source specifically said that two senators, one from Katsina and another from Kebbi, are distributing $100,000 each to senators to get them to reject the nominations of Dora Akunyili and Adetokunbo Kayode specifically.”
According to the source, the offence of Akunyili is her decision to break ranks with other former ministers by calling for the ouster of Yar’Adua, while Kayode’s offence is his alleged closeness to Jonathan.
“The game plan is to ensure that Kayode does not scale through the senate screening so as to allow Mohammed Bello Adoke, another Senior Advocate of Nigeri, from Benue as the attorney General and minister of justice instead of Kayode.
