On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to make an appeal; I had an appointment with a doctor and I postponed it because I wanted to issue these Statements. If I do not issue them in the next one month, I should not bear responsibility.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the sentiments of Sen. (Dr.) Kuti. I am very sorry to say that yesterday, I called the Principal Secretary and she did not respond to my call. I sent her a message and told her that courtesy demands for her to answer a call....

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Kembi-Gitura has said that I was referring to hearsay and that the person who gave me the documents
