The reported alleged attempt by the minister of Niger Delta, Mr. Orubebe to bribe the leadership of the Save Nigeria Group stands condemned. It is shameful, disgraceful and despicable.

 
It is most regrettable that for a government that has in its maiden policy statement made the fight against corruption as its cardinal principle and focus to be enmeshed and engage (sic) in unwholesome act of blatant corruption.
 
The attempted bribery exposes the hypocrisy and shenanigans of the Goodluck administration and his undisguised incapacity and debility in leading Nigeria and ridding it of corruption.

 
The 50 thousand dollar bribery scandal must not be treated lightly or swept under the carpet. The National Assembly and the EFCC must wade into the matter and get to the root of it.

We demand a full probe and an immediate resignation of the minister of Niger Delta.
