Porn, Rape allegations: Gaiya has to resign from the Sports Committee

Hon. Gaiya

I read the two allegations against the Chairman, House of Representatives committee on sports, Godfrey Gaiya. Like the prescriptions of our laws, you ain’t guilty until so proven.

As a well trained journalist, I had to search for his telephone number and sent him an SMS to help me to deny or confirm the allegations against him. He refused to reply nor acknowledge the receipt of the SMS which may mean ‘go write any nonsense you want’.

By virtue of the fact that al my youth and adulthood has been about sports. Knowing also that models are the ones needed in sports for the kids and youths to aspire to be like, the chairman of the law making agencies (Senate and the House of Representatives) like their members have a duty to be models both in their private and public lives, Hon. Gaiya may have failed to have that correct record.

Therefore, Nigerians of merit and worth need to ask the Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon. Ibrahim Tambuwwal to please for the decorum of the nation, employ the powers imposed on his office to please ask Hon Gaiya to step aside until proven otherwise.

In this case, we demand a panel to be put in place to investigate and report this matter for public interest. For now, he cannot continue to remain and be addressed as the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee o sports as that will also rob off on me as a likely rapist and porn watcher which I am not.

Therefore, we shall cause a public petition to ask for Gaiya to be relieved of that position until investigated and proven otherwise.

This is a recap of the report in one of the latter issues of the pornography. That of the attempted rape was earlier published on www.olajidefashikun.blogspot.com

London 2012: Rep got Gold in pornography

*Paid N60,000

There is no doubt that with the Paralympics, the London Olympics has come and gone. While the nation struggled and could not raise a medal of any colour in the main Games, the Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Sports, Hon. Godfrey Ali Gaiya got a medal.

He got the medal in a non-scoring event – pornography. He was allegedly said to be busy enjoying himself at the prestigious Marriot Hotel, where he lodged.

Hon. Gaiya, who represents Jaba/Zangon Kataf Federal constituency of Kaduna state in the Federal House of Representatives in Abuja, was said to have attracted a big attention to himself when he was about to check out of the hotel.

The allegation was that he watched pornography in his room. The issue is that there’s nothing wrong with that. The hotel management had requested that Gaiya should settle his total bills before he could be allowed to go.

At this stage, he got peeved insisting that the hotel was trying to play a fast one on him. While the hotel was restrained not to embarrass him with the disclosure of his bill, the action of Hon. Gaiya had already attracted attention of busy bodies and concerned Nigerians.

At a stage, when the hotel could not withstand the unfolding drama, it was disclosed that while the honourable was in his room, he was busy watching pornography channels that were considered premium channels with premium charges.

At this stage, many were shocked and embarrassed that while Nigerian athletes were busy trying to do the country proud, the Honourable was busy watching adult films in his hotel room.

He was reported to have eventually admitted watching the channels and was made to pay about two hundred and forty pounds sterling, (£240).

When the honourable was contacted, he neither picked his phone nor responded to the short message (text) sent to his phone.
