Mrs. Patricia Etteh Speaks:

“Now, Nigerians know who is corrupt and who is not. It is a big shame, it has further 

ridiculed the image of the House. Basically, what we read in the newspapers does not come

 as a surprise having had relationship with him for a very long time. He is the leader of the

 cartel. 

"I did not steal any money. What happened when they were calling for my removal was a

 mere anticipatory spending, no money was missing. Dimeji Bankole, whom Farouk

 installed, spent over N400 million to renovate his official quarters, which I wanted to 

renovate with just N40 million, and sold it to himself for N100 million.

"I was removed not for stealing money but three groups sacked me for their selfish reasons. 

The first group was led by Farouk Lawan who was annoyed that he was not given the 

Appropriation Committee. 

The second group was the Islamic fundamentalists who would not like to bow down to the 

authority of a woman and the third group believed that since the Senate President is a 

Christian, therefore, the Speaker must be a Muslim. All these groups joined forces together 

to fight me. 

"But now, God has vindicated me, all of them have been caught in one corruption or the

 other and they were disgraced out of the National Assembly through Appeal Court on 

election matters, but Farouk Lawal is the last man standing and God has revealed the

 truth,".
