The Nigerian Senate Should Reject Obanikoro As Minister
Obanikoro was in a meeting where he worked to pressure a Nigerian Army Brig. General to help rig the election for Ayo Fayose in 2014. The meeting was secretly recorded by Nigerian Army Captain Sagir Koli. The audio recording released by SaharaReporters has now led to serious agitation by civil society across Nigeria.
