Your own minister spent ₦80 million on a one day dinner, yet it is your citizens you accuse of being criminals #IAmANigerianNotACriminal— Ben Murray-Bruce (@benmurraybruce) February 6, 2016
A coward who is not bold enough to name the minister that he alleged criminally spent N80M on dinner is unfit to sit in our senate chambers— Chibuike.R. Amaechi (@ChibuikeAmaechi) February 6, 2016
I will not respond to innuendos. Be courageous, name the minister. We know you talk here & do 'siddon' look where you are elected to talk— Chibuike.R. Amaechi (@ChibuikeAmaechi) February 7, 2016
