Adumakin drag aregbesola to efcc

. Yinka Odumakin, has

Sumitted a petition to the Economic andFinancial Crimes Commission, detailing
allegations of financial recklessness and
corruption against Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf
Aregbesola. Odumakin, who is an indigene of
Osun State, submitted the petition on behalf of a
group, Osun Stakeholders, on Monday. In the
petition titled, “Petition against Governor Rauf
Aregbesola for financial recklessness, corruption,
money laundering and fraudulent application of
Osun State’s resources,” Odumakin alleged that
Aregbesola has sunk the state into abject
poverty. While calling for a forensic audit of the
Osun State government accounts, the group
noted that the petition was part of the resolution
reached at its stakeholders’ summit on Osun
State held on July 23, 2015. He said, “In addition,
the state is littered with abandoned projects even
though loans were secured by this administration
to execute them. Today, our dear state has
become the embodiment of lack, poverty,
purposelessness, wickedness and insensitivity of
political leaders of the highest order in the
country.” According to the petition, Osun has
become the poorest state in Nigeria. It stated
that families could no longer survive and the
people of the state now look up to the EFCC to
ensure that the state’s funds were recovered. It
said Osun State had become an object of scorn
and a symbol of poverty in the nation because of
Aregbesola’s recklessness. However, the Director
of Research, Strategy and Publicity of the All
Progressives Congress in Osun State, Mr. Kunle
Oyatomi, described the allegations as baseless
and laughable. He said the state government
owed only N87bn, adding that the government
could account for every penny spent. He said,
“The entire debt of the state government
currently stands at N87bn. We took over
government in November 2010 and between
November and December, we got N5.6bn. In
2011, we got N59.2bn. In 2012, we got N75.6bn.
In 2013, we got
the state government must be ready to provide
evidence. He said those who were sponsored to
write the petition would be defeated just as they
 at the tribunal and the Appeal
Court.
