“It is in the interest of justice and fair play that the Speaker should be spared of this current saga, while those involved should be prosecuted according to the law because the intention of the house was in tandem with the yearnings of Nigerians after the January fuel increase.
“Farouk and Boniface have not in any way indicted or mentioned the name of the Speaker or house leadership and neither Femi Otedola, who are the principal actors in the drama, so it is premature to link the speaker to the scandal.
“The group warned that the subsidy saga should not be muddled up, but be dealt with by the anti-corruption agencies in specific terms and on its merit, “sifting the rice from the chaff”, it said.
