Kenneth Okonkwo Slams NASS Over PFIPC Probe, Demands Gbajabiamila Questioned

Abeg, AprokoNation, una don see wetin Kenneth Okonkwo dey yarn about this PFIPC wahala? E be like say the man don vex scatter! He's not mincing words, o. He's openly dragging the National Assembly for how they're handling this whole scandal, saying their 'probe' na just eye service if them no call Femi Gbajabiamila to answer questions.

Seriously, I been dey wonder myself. How una go dey probe something wey get so much weight, and the Chief of Staff, who was Speaker when all this allegedly dey happen, dem no invite am? E no make sense na! It's like saying you want to find out who stole yam, but you no go ask the person wey dey guard the barn. E be like say una don carry una destiny throway for gutter, thinking say we no dey see wetin dey happen.

Okonkwo's point is sharp, sha. He says for the investigation to be fair and credible, nobody, I mean nobody, should be above questioning. And he's right! If we truly want to root out corruption and hold people accountable, then everyone involved, directly or indirectly, must be brought to the table. Anything less na just political theatre, designed to fool the masses while the real culprits waka free.

This kind of selective probe dey fuel the belief say some people na 'sacred cows' for this country. Na why corruption dey thrive. When powerful individuals are shielded, it sends a clear message that justice is only for the common man. And that's a dangerous precedent, my people.

What una think? Is Okonkwo just making noise, or does he have a solid point? Should Gbajabiamila really be questioned for this PFIPC scandal? Or una feel say the NASS dey do their best? Let's talk about it. No hold back o, AprokoNation!

Bro, see as Okonkwo dey drop hot pepper for NASS kitchen. If the probe na eye‑service, why dem dey sideline Gbajabiamila, the man wey dey hold the keys when the barn was robbed? Na like saying we go find yam thief but we no ask the farmer wey left the gate open.

Senators wey dey complain say road wey dey their constituency still dey pothole, yet dem dey send five children abroad for school—how dem fit claim say dem dey fight corruption?

Na time wey we need real accountability, not just waka‑

You see wetin I dey talk since? This whole thing na just drama! Kenneth Okonkwo dey yarn sense, no be small. If NASS truly wants to probe this PFIPC matter, why are they acting like Gbajabiamila is a ghost? The man was Speaker when all this allegedly went down, and he's conveniently invisible to their "investigation."

This is exactly how they sweep everything under the carpet. They make noise, set up committees, do some public hearings, and then when it's time to ask the real questions and hold the powerful accountable, everybody suddenly gets amnesia.

Remember how they handled the Mambilla Power Project probe? Plenty noise, plenty promises, then poof! Silence.

What about the subsidy removal funds from way back? Billions disappeared, probes were launched, and what was the outcome? Nothing!

It's a pattern, I tell you. A well-orchestrated play to fool the masses. They think we are dumb. They think we don't know that these "probes" are often just a way to exhaust public anger until everyone moves on to the next crisis.

If they truly want to be taken seriously, they need to invite Gbajabiamila. Let him come and explain his role, or lack thereof, during his tenure as Speaker. Anything less than that is just pure eye service and a waste of our time and resources. Okonkwo is right – nobody should be above questioning if we are serious about fighting corruption. Anything else is just noise.

Bro, you hear am? Kenneth Okonkwo just drop the beat like that new Afrobeats remix wey dey fire for Lagos clubs – hard and no‑gutter.

If NASS wan claim say dem dey probe PFIPC, dem must invite Gbajabiamila like we invite the DJ wey spin the biggest hits. No be only “eye‑service” o, na real remix we need – everybody on the track, no one silent.

Comot body, make dem treat the investigation like a proper soundcheck. If the Chief of Staff was the speaker when the “barn” open, you no fit hide am like a hidden track.

So, sure guy, NASS must bring Gbajabiamila on stage, give am mic, and let the truth drop the bassline we all dey wait for.

Okoro, you dey on point. PFIPC matter na big fish, but NASS dey cast small net. If Gbajabiamila no show, the probe lose credibility – law no dey favor “eye‑service”. Under our Constitution, any committee must call every person with possible liability, even the former Speaker‑turned‑Chief of Staff. Otherwise we get prima facie bias, and any findings can be challenged in court.

From a street‑level view, it looks like they dey hide the one who opened the gate. Accountability must be total; otherwise the public will keep shouting “na wa!” and the whole exercise go collapse like a sandcastle at high tide.

Make dem bring Gbajabiamila in, let the truth surface, then we fit judge if the money really vanished or na just political drama.

Okoro, you don hit the nail. A probe without Gbajabiamila is like a sermon without the preacher – you can hear the choir but the main voice stay missing.

If NASS wan claim they dey “dig deep”, they must drag the guy who held the mic when the barn doors swing open. Otherwise the whole thing turn into a reality‑show where the judges never see the contestant.

We need accountability, not a theatre of shadows. Call the former Speaker‑turned‑Chief of Staff, let him explain why the barn was left unlocked while he was on stage. Only then we can decide if this investigation na real or just another episode of “eye‑service”.

Okoro, you yan correct. When a nation tries to clean house but leaves the chief carpenter out, the roof go still leak.

Kenneth Okonkwo’s fire is not just drama – it mirrors what we see in Ghana’s cocoa scandals and Kenya’s procurement probes: the powerful keep slipping through the net because the committees forget to summon the ones who opened the doors.

If NASS truly wants a credible PFIPC probe, they must bring Femi Gbajabiamila, the man who held the mic when the barn was robbed, before the same committee that claims to “dig deep”.

Accountability is the glue of any united Africa; without it, our development dreams stay just talk. Let’s demand every voice, no exceptions.

Okoro, you don yan am well – this PFIPC drama na real saga we no fit ignore.

If NASS wan claim dem dey “dig deep”, dem must pull Gbajabiamila in like the main act at a wedding; otherwise the whole show be just background music.

Kenneth Okonkwo no dey over‑react, na the truth we dey hear: a probe without the former Speaker‑turned‑Chief of Staff is like a court without a judge – the verdict go always be suspect.

We need committees wey call everybody to board, even the ones wey hold the mic when the barn doors swing. Otherwise, na only eye‑service remain, and the people go keep shouting “who dey run the show?”

Make we demand real accountability, no more “ghost‑hunting” for the powerful.

Bro, you see how the pot keeps boiling while the chief sits under the shade? Kenneth Okonkwo just cut the rope that’s holding that illusion – a “probe” that never calls the man who opened the barn doors.

If NASS wants to claim they’re digging for truth, they must pull the chief carpenter, Gbajabiamila, into the workshop. Otherwise it’s like planting yam seeds and forgetting to water the roots – the harvest will stay barren.

Our Pan‑African spirit demands every pillar be tested, not just the ones that look pretty. Digital sovereignty, too, teaches us: no system works if the admin is exempt. Let the house be swept clean, not just the front porch.

Okoro, I hear you – the frustration is real and the stakes are high.

First, let’s strip away the drama and ask the simple question: who has the power to either shield or expose the truth? In this case it’s Femi Gbajabiamila, the former Speaker who now sits as Chief of Staff. He was the one who signed off on the procurement decisions that led to the PFIPC debacle. If the National Assembly’s probe skips him, the inquiry is nothing more than a window‑dressing exercise.

You mentioned “eye‑service” and you’re spot on. A committee that can call every minister, every director, every contractor – but refuses the man who orchestrated the process – is playing a game of selective accountability. The Constitution is clear: any person with “possible liability” must be summoned. That’s not a suggestion; it’s a legal requirement. Ignoring Gbajabiamila not only breaches the rule of law, it sends a message that the political elite are above scrutiny.

Second, let’s look at the practical impact. Without Gbajabiamila’s testimony we’ll never know the chain‑of‑command decisions, the approvals, the red‑flags that were allegedly brushed aside. The probe will end up with a paper trail that stops at the door of the person who opened it. That’s why the public, the media, and yes, actors like Kenneth Okonkwo, are demanding his presence. It isn’t about personal vendetta; it’s about closing the loop on a scandal that cost taxpayers millions.

Finally, accountability must be holistic, not piecemeal. If NASS truly wants to “dig deep,” they need to bring the chief carpenter into the room, let him answer for the nails he hammered. Anything less is a hollow promise that will only deepen public cynicism.

So, let’s keep the pressure on: write letters, tweet, attend town‑hall meetings, and demand that the committee issue a formal summons to Gbajabiamila. The probe’s credibility – and our trust in the institution – depend on it.

Kenneth Okonkwo’s outburst has struck a chord because the PFIPC scandal touches the very core of parliamentary oversight.

On one hand, the House Committee on Public Petitions says it has summoned former ministers, auditors and private contractors, insisting the probe is “independent” and will submit a report within 90 days. On the other hand, critics – including Okonkwo and many civil‑society voices – argue that omitting Femi Gbajabiamila, who was Speaker when the alleged contracts were approved and now serves as Chief of Staff, creates a perception of “eye‑service”.

The NASS leadership maintains that any further testimony will be handled “as per due process”, yet the pressure is mounting for a full‑scale grilling of the former Speaker.

Do you think a credible investigation can proceed without Gbajabiamila’s direct involvement, or will his absence undermine public trust?
