A lot of political drama has been playing out in different committee rooms of the National Assembly in recent times. Also, Olufamous.com observed that many Nigerians have had cause to complain about some "overzealous" lawmakers and the way they have been conducting their public hearings.
Olufamous.com gathered that Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim has become the latest victim of the lawmakers' verbal bashing as his firm came under scrutiny over the goings on in Air Nigeria.
Below is how the Billionaire businessman reacted to the legislator's action:
"Some legislators behave as if they are not educated. I went to the hearing because my name was mentioned. While I was seated there, the chairman was making all sorts of false statements based on a petition by a former staff who stole our money.
"Why should they downgrade themselves so low, as to be taking evidence from an accused person? What kind of madness was that? The weight of evidence from an accused person is weak. Whenever anything involves Jimoh Ibrahim it makes very big headlines. Unfortunately, this is not a country where one can easily get justice. I should be commended for what I am doing with Air Nigeria.
"Were you not in the country when GTBank took Virgin Nigeria to court for winding up because of huge debt? It was at the point of winding up that I bought it, saving thousands of jobs. I paid GTBank $11 million. My group employs over 28,000 Nigerians. That is not a small number. I should be encouraged.''

ReplyDeleteJimoh Ibrahim had said It all "Unfortunately, this is not a country where one can easily get justice." If not in Nigeria, no place in the world this kind of mess can happen. He divert money set aside for a purpose, yet throwing insults on people. Otedola leaving a luxury life yet his 150 billion naira debt declared as bad debt. May God bring a leader who have fear of God and Nigeria at hearth. They will surely bring the money back or their properties confiscated.
ReplyDeleteJimoh Ibrahim, Otedola and their likes will be brought 2 book be4 they leave dis world insha Allah and on d day of judgement, dey wouldnt find it easy o. Odawise,they sud voluntorily return d money dt dey drained out of d masses be4 it's too late.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to blame Jimoh and Otedola because Jonathan government made the platform for them.What did Jonathan government do to Dimeji Bankole?.Jonathan has right to apoint best attorney general of federation.If America fail,it's Obama.If Nigeria fail,it's Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteJimoh shld ans his case & stop giving excuses b4 blaming lawmakers,yes dey hv dia laps but let him clear his name first,Air Nigeria shld thoroghly been citisfied b4 flying dat is d simple truth,atleast 2 avoid loss of innocent Nigerians,so he shld stop saying accused staff or not brought a report to d house coz is 4 d good of d country.
