The Senate wing of the National Assembly witnessed a bit of drama on Wednesday when two lawyers, Oladotun Hassan and Myson Nejo, who wrote a petition against the Executive Director of Nexim Bank, Stella Okotete, accused Senator Ayo Akinyelure of taking sides during a committee sitting.

The duo had written a petition to the National Assembly through Akinyelure, Chairman Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petition to look into the issue of the ED of Nexim Bank.

“And regulations on appointment of heads of financial institutions, serial fraudulent misrepresentations on prerequisite qualifications and deceitful withholding of CBN’s statutory position, obligations and duties as the executive director of the Nigerian Export-Import Bank against Stella Erhuvwuoghene Okotete.”

Senator Akinyelure further explained to them, “Since the case was already in court, the Senate might not be able to formally hear the case. However, things went south when the senator began to make case for the Executive Director of Nexim Bank.
