But former Chairman of the Finance and Appropriation Committee of the House of Representative, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has wondered why Nigerians were quick to accept that the girls actually tried to blackmail Otedola without looking at the other side of the story.
He tweeted:
Let’s bloody leave the girls alone! He is suppose to be a role model, family man…what did he go looking from the girls? No one is asking??
Because he is a billionaire the whole country keeps quite…even the online media took to just one side of the story. I beg leave the girls!
