Former Senate President Adolphus Wabara has disclosed that he turned down a 250 million Naira bribe for a third term agenda, delivered to him at 1:30 am in a black G-Wagon. Wabara, who served from 2003-2005, highlighted the incident during a recent interview.
Former Senate President Adolphus Wabara has made a startling revelation about his tenure, claiming he turned down a 250 million Naira bribe intended to support a third-term agenda for then-President Olusegun Obasanjo. Speaking during an interview, Wabara detailed how the bribe was delivered to him in a black G-Wagon at 1:30 am.
Wabara's disclosure has sparked varied reactions among Nigerians. While some commended his integrity, others expressed skepticism, questioning the motives behind his revelation. Social media users likened Wabara’s statement to someone only admitting to the offers they reject, never the ones they accept. Another user pointed out that 250 million Naira back then would be equivalent to over 10 billion Naira today, emphasizing the gravity of the bribe.
Some commenters expressed disappointment in Nigeria's persistent corruption. Some provided context on Wabara’s political journey, noting his consistent opposition to Obasanjo's third-term agenda. Meanwhile, others speculated that Nigeria might have fared better if Obasanjo had secured a third term, citing the decline in regional governance.
