The embattled lawmaker strolled into a session of the House presided over by the Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, around 12.55pm. He exuded confidence as if nothing had happened in the past days.
Olufamous.com observed, however, that Farouk did not bow to the mace, placed right in front of Tambuwal, which by the convention every member does.
Speaking the journalist out the chambers, Farouk said his bribery case is a trial from God and he is sure that he will emerge victorious at the end:
“First of all, I think it is important to note that I have been a member of the House of Representatives in the last 13 years, of course with several of some of my colleagues (past and present).
“We have done so much to build the House as an institution that should enjoy the respect and confidence of Nigerians and whatever the decision taken by the House, I believe it is meant to ensure the credibility of the institution.
“Because, as members, we must at all times recognise that the institution is bigger than each and every one of us.
“It is an institution that belongs to this country, it is an institution which Nigerians rely for good legislation, for oversight responsibilities, for representation and it is an institution that must continue to give hope and confidence to the Nigerian people.”
“As far as the issue relating to me is concerned, I believe ultimately I will be vindicated; I just urge Nigerians to continue to be patient," Farouk said.

Farouk may be having mental case, who ask him to go and collect the bribe? Abeg make we hear word.

ReplyDeleteLet the shortie go hung transformer. He went to Otedola collected the bribe money, denied that he never visited Otedola, said the picture in the video was Photoshopped, later admitted collecting the bribe money, said he told the Police about the bribe money, failed to bring the bribe money to the police, stayed just few hours in custody because of pressure to the police from his fellow corrupts and now talking about God and vindication building the house for 13 years instead of apologising and resigning honourable if he has that appellation.
