>Ebrima,
>The last time I reported on the Crude Oil saga, I predicted that the
>Parliament would pass the bill establishing the Committee to investigate
>the deal. Well, as the debate unfolds, it is becoming increasingly evident
>to me that, despite the earlier indications from some APRC MPs to join the
>minority, the majority will prevail.  But, let me assure you that the Crude
>Oil Saga will not go away.  Moves are already on the way to get Obasanjo to
>be directly involved in it in the name of the Nigerian people. The Nigerian
>Government has been following developments, especially since Sam Sarr
>recanted his earlier story. Investigation into the assets of late Sani
>Abacha is
>currently in progress and will certainly include the ECOWAS Crude Oil
>Programme initiated under Obasanjo's then military government but misused
>under Abacha. If the effort of the opposition is successful, it would even
>be more devastating to Yahya Jammeh as he will have no control over
>investigations by the Nigerian authorities.  Moves are underway to get
>Obasanjo personally involved, to see to it that the oil proceeds be
>returned to the Nigerian people since the deal, according to Sam sarr, was
>between Nigeria and a private individual (Yahya Jammeh) contrary to
>Nigerian law. In fact, more revelations on the Crude Oil saga are expected
>in the upcoming trial of the late Sani Abacha's family.
>The Gambian Parliament has performed irresponsibly in this and many other
>instances.The interest of the Gambian electorate have not been served by
>the National Assembly Members of the APRC for which they will pay dearly.
