Her words, “Did you read of how much was spent to do the Senate President’s birthday party? Now, can you imagine how people would feel? They can’t feed their children and you are spending that kind of money for the birthday of an old man, who has not done anything for the country. The only medal for him is accessing, by crook or hook, the position he is in. That is the only medal for him.”
Furthermore, she recalled during the administration under leadership of the former president Olusegun Obasanjo, she was part of his cabinet executives. She noted that it was in the administration of the latter that Nigeria had a geological map.
