Readers of this blog should be familiar with this man by now,outgoing Speaker of House of Reps Dimeji Bankole may have finally got his wish to remain relevant after been given a bloody nose by the electorates.It is only in a country like Nigeria where a professional looter is rewarded with a ministerial post.Dimeji Bankole not only built a house with our money,as his name implies but milked our National Assembly coffers dry.A man with little or no moral standards who brought the House into disrepute by sheer greed and presided over a shambles which made our National House of Assembly a laughing stock on Youtube might be rewarded with Minister of State for Foreign Affairs portfolio.
I sincerely hope this rumour is unfounded or figment of someones imagination,here is a man who spent billions of our money to fund his mistress' botched governorship bid and the other part on an actress.What sort of example is being set for the youths in a period of the Arab spring where the masses are showing there displeasure for corrupt leaders worldwide.
I urge the President to reconsider this attempt to compensate the speaker with a ministerial post instead get him to account for his four years of leadership of the House and defend the corruption allegation made against him.
