CHAIRMAN,
Zenon Petroleum, Mr. Femi Otedola, has denied insulting members of the
House of Representatives Committee on Ethics and Privileges on Tuesday.
In a statement by his
lawyer, Mr. Babajide Koku, on Wednesday, the businessman equally
debunked reports that he refused to testify before the commitee.
The statement read, “Mr.
Femi Otedola, CON at the meeting conducted himself with decorum, he was
not abusive and at no time in the course of the hearing made any
disparaging remarks against any member of the committee.
“The statement of the
Honourable Gambo Dan-Musa (committee chairman) is to say the least
unbecoming and underscores manifest bias.
“Mr. Otedola did not refuse to testify before the committee save that his testimony should be taken in public and not in camera.
“The unfortunate misrepresentation of Mr. Otedola’s comments at the meeting further reinforces his call for a public hearing.”
