Abuja, Nigeria – The Senate don sharply deny allegations wey suggest say dem collect bribe of $10 million to block President Bola Tinubu’s nominee for the Chairman of Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Abdullahi Ramat. The wahala begin when ex-Special Adviser to former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Alwan Hassan, throw the serious accusation for ground.

Dis matter don cause serious gist for political circles as people dey raise eyebrow about how dem dey appoint dem regulatory heads for our light matter (because light matter na real matter let me tell you!).

On top the matter, Senate spokesperson Yemi Adaramodu come release statement for Abuja on Friday, dismissing the bribe claim as nothing but baseless rumor—no be small.

Adaramodu explain say na “public and private complaints” wey dem receive about Ramat make dem suspend di screening. E no get anything wey resemble any financial stir inside. Him talk say di Red Chamber no fit just ignore di petitions and concerns wey don show up. Na serious matter wey democracies dey take into consideration, abeg! (You go just dey wonder how them go carry bribe for naija politics anyhow).

According to Adaramodu, dem don even step down nominees before based on all di public wahala, insisting say em no go fit pressure dem into confirming anybody wey get any bad light hovering over dem (Na only confusion we get for light, no need for more).

As e be now, senators don collect plenty complaints like truckload, and dem dey shine eye on dis matter, ready to chop any person wey wan take shortcut for public approval. Power matter na serious tin wey affect everybody, from small pikin wey dey use candle to sabi businessman wey no fit plan him hustle without light. So, dey go dey follow dis issue like hawk wey dey watch him prey.
