In recent times, several lawmakers in the National Assembly, newsmen observed, have been going to equity with very unclean hands and that explains why they are finding it extremely difficult to checkmate the alleged impunity of members of the executive.
Like Farouk Lawan disappointed Nigerians who trusted him to expose those who syphoned the wealth of this country through fuel subsidy, it has now been revealed that the man who is talking tough with regards to the impeachment of President Goodluck Jonathan lacks "integrity".
Like Farouk, Like Femi Gbajabiamila, As New Mr Integrity's Fraudulent Past Is Revealed!
The Representative now angling to take over from Farouk Lawan as the new Mr. Intergrity in the house, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has been exposed as a fraud who admitted to theft of his clients funds while serving as an attorney in the U.S. State of Georgia.
Femi Gbaja as he then was known later resurrected as Femi Gbajabiamila perhaps to hide his fraudulent past and is now positioning himself as an integrity activist in the House of Representatives.

In the Georgia Attorney Directory, Femi Gbaja gave his address as 20, Mercy Eneli Street Surulere, Lagos. He is said to have refunded the clients money ($25,000) in 2006 and his lawyers have already submitted a certification of compliance of the Supreme Court ruling as of March 2007.
