• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am giving him information and he has agreed to receive it. If he does not want to receive information which is factual, then I can really understand because old men do not like bones being mentioned like Chinua Achebe Said. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. There are two issues to be dealt with which the Senate Majority Leader did not distinguish. One is the question of fraud which is being dealt with in another forum. However, some of the questions that he has raised are legitimate and needs some inquiry.
