“Look at him, standing arrogantly like a little emperor with his hand in his pocket while a woman old enough to be his mother kneels before him in public, ostensibly begging for favour.
Monday Eyo, a man that parades himself as a lawmaker in Akwa Ibom State. He is just an ordinary member of the House of Assembly. Imagine if this misfit of a lawmaker unfortunately becomes the governor or President one day. Honourable my foot. This is so disgusting.
Akwa Ibom is in the hands of vagabonds, cultists and criminals. They have no mercy for the poor.
Anyone that comes here to tell me that the woman knelt down on her own volition is an enemy of the people. SLAVES IN LOVE WITH THEIR CHAINS.”

However, many Nigerians have speculated that the woman was probably thanking the lawmaker for helping her or for giving her money.
