Question 11
Instruction: Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow: My good people, I come before you this week as a man whose honesty and integrity have been questioned. Now, the usual political thing to do when charges are leveled against you is either to ignore them without giving details or provide information. However before I answer any of you questions, let me state categorically that I have not touched a kobo of the N50,000 we contributed. Every kobo of it has been used in defraying political campaign expenses.
As a matter of fact, during one of my 'meet with the press conferences, Tony Agiwa accosted me and said, 'honourable senator what about this fund we hear about?' I told him there was no secrete about the fund and that he should meet Abu O. Abu to get details of the fund. I told him, 'you will find that the purpose of the fund was primarily to defray political expenses' in answers to another one question, I said that neither contributors to the fund, nor received any special consideration that he would not have received as an ordinary constituent. And I can say that never, since I became a senator, have I made a telephone call for them to an agency or have I gone down to an agency on their behalf. Records will show that that and these records are in the hands of the administrators.
