Hon. Oboku Oforji, facing bombshell allegations of running a multi-million-naira extortion racket against Nigeria’s top examination bodies (WAEC, NECO, JAMB, etc.), has officially defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Oforji, who chairs the pivotal House Committee on Basic Examination Bodies, is accused of aggressively demanding kickbacks from these agencies’ Internally Generated Revenue (IGR). When the exam bodies resisted, the Rep allegedly misused his oversight powers, hiring and instructing consultants to “find or fabricate” damaging evidence against uncooperative CEOs, according to an OBSERVERS TIMES exclusive.
The timing, announced on the House floor by Speaker Hon. Tajudeen, is widely seen by analysts as a desperate, calculated maneuver to secure protection from the ruling party and evade his growing scandal.
