They promised to add N700m to make it N2bn. Then they asked me to submit an invoice for N5bn,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Durotoye said he questioned the ethics of inflating the price, especially for a training centred on ethical leadership, but the official dismissed his concerns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe man assured me he wasn\u2019t ripping off Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said he had served the country and deserved compensation. When I reminded him that the blessings of God make one rich and add no sorrow, he fired back, saying, \u2018There is no sorrow in this one. You have been doing well for Nigeria. It is time for Nigeria to do well for you,\u201d Durotoye recalled.<\/p>\n<p>While the conversation was ongoing, Durotoye said he switched off his phone because the official was bent on inflating the price.<\/p>\n<p>He said three months later, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission arrested some presidency officials for stealing N426m from an ethical leadership training fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Described ordeal as a test of integrity Former presidential candidate of the defunct Alliance for New Nigeria, and leadership coach, Fela Durotoye has recounted how he turned down a N5bn fraudulent government deal despite pressure from a government official.
