In Nigeria today October 22nd 2015, the senate continued the ministerial appiontees screening exercise and the drama that enveloped today activities while screening Rotimi Amaechi and President nominee and of the ruling party got tongues wagging on social media; analyzing some quotable quotes from the political gentleman.
The indicted former governor of Rivers state, and a ministerial nominee, Rotimi Amaechi, says he has never received bribe in his life.
While speaking at the senate during his screening this afternoon, the most corrupt Nigerian former governor as acclaimed by some opposition quarters said: “If there is one man that doesn’t like corruption, I don’t like corruption”.
Gbenga Ashafa, a senator from Lagos state had asked Amaechi to clear the air on the allegation of corruption levelled against him.
“I brought all the copies of the panel though not the white paper and there is no where that I was indicted,” he said.
“Now, you have asked me to define corruption, corruption is difficult to define. It is a very wide concept. If, for example, you are a public officer and you don’t collect bribe, I have never taken bribe in my life, but if they send a girl to you and you sleep with the girl and do that favour, that means you are corrupt.
“But Nigerians don’t know that, they think that corruption is only when you collect bribe. Corruption is a very wide concept, very wide. If people are competing for a position and you offer your son, brother or sister an opportunity to hold that position when the person is not qualified, you are corrupt.
This man Amaechi had just redefined corruption; If you are a Nigerian in Nigeria; this will sure appeal!
