Petroleum Industry Governance: I was offered bribe to kill bill – Alasoadura

Senator Tayo Alasoadura, Chairman, Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), says he was offered bribe to kill the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill (PIGB). The senator representing Ondo Central, however, said he rejected the bribe for sake of posterity. “The politics behind it was more than what you had to do to get the bill passed. In fact, there was a day I was abused by a set of people who came to lobby me for the bill not to be passed. “They offered me money but I said no, that the little money I have that God has provided for me is enough to cater for my well-being and that of my family”, Alasoadura said in his constituency office in Akure. “The politics, lobbying and so on from those who did not want the bill to see the light of the day was terrible. Unless you can withstand pressure, you won’t be able to do what I did. “By the time we were to take the bill to the floor of the Senate for passage, we booked for three days because we thought it would be stormy. But to the glory of God, the bill was passed in two hours. “This is because I did a lot of underground work like meeting people, convincing them about the need for the bill, especially people who were not satisfied with some areas in the bill. “We then gave them reasons to believe that everything had been taken care of in the bill and that nobody would be shortchanged. At the end of the day, before the final passage of the bill, 52 senators had signed,” he said. Expressing optimism that the bill would soon be passed in the House of Representatives, Alasoadura said the Senate was in the process of passing three other bills relating to petroleum resources which he listed as Administration Bill, Host Community Bill and the Fiscal Bill. “We want to run as fast as we can and see if we can finish all the bills before the end of this year because next year when politics starts and we may not be able to have much concentration as we were doing now.”
