Rivers Senator Causes Stir, Blows Whistle On Ikoyigate During Plenary

 

Senator George Sekibo from Rivers State has metaphorically extended the whistle blowing policy of the Federal Government to the floor of the Senate.

The lawmaker who got up at about 11.07 to protest the refusal of the Federal Government to return the recovered $49 million found at an Ikoyi apartment in Lagos to the Rivers State Government brought out a whistle.

Before the presiding officer, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, could intervene to stop him, Sekibo blew the whistle three times while calling on the Senate to investigate the issue.
