OYDA Advises Makinde to Probe, Audit Financial Transactions of his Council Chairmen Before Probing Ajimobi’s Administration

OYDA ADVISES MAKINDE TO PROBE, AUDIT FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF HIS COUNCIL CHAIRMEN BEFORE PROBING AJIMOBI’S ADMINISTRATION

Oyo Democratic Alliance has advised Governor Seyi Makinde to investigate and audit the financial transactions of the 68 local government areas and the LCDAs of the state from their first day of resumption in office before probing the government of the immediate past governor of the State, Senator Isiaka Abiola Ajimobi.

OYDA said this move should not aimed at removing any council chairman or official, but targeted at improving probity and accountability in the 68 local government councils and the LCDAs of the state.

This was contained in a press statement issued and signed by the Movement’s Coordinator, Wole Adedoyin in Ibadan on Sunday.

According to OYDA “Makinde’s government is empowered to use the provisions of the constitution and the anti-corruption legislation to check cases of corruption and abuse of power across the local government areas and LCDAs of the state. The proposed investigations and prosecution do not offend the constitutional ethics of the state in any way.”

OYDA therefore believes that anyone involved in alleged corrupt practices and abuse of power in any affected local government or LCDA area should be promptly, thoroughly and effectively investigated and prosecuted if there is relevant and admissible evidence of corruption, and stolen public funds recovered both to provide public goods and services to ordinary citizens and to serve as deterrent measure to others. By going after only Ajimobi’s government it means Gov. Seyi Makinde is only on a venture to witch-hunt the political administration of his predecessor. The rate at which some Council Chairmen under Gov. Seyi Makinde are stealing public funds is beyond exaggeration.

“Oyo citizens want to know how his appointed council Chairmen spent their allocations” Adedoyin said.

OYDA finally hopes that Governor Seyi Makinde will exercise his constitutional powers to promote transparency and accountability and stop corruption in the use of federal allocations by the council chairmen for their personal and selfish usages.

The group made the statement after an emergency meeting in Ibadan, the state capital of Oyo state on Thursday. According to the statement issued and signed by the Chairman of the group, Wole Adedoyin said, they were surprised at the sudden ways the former governor Alao Akala is destructively criticizing the government of Seyi Makinde for his selfish gains.

Governor Seyi Makinde yet to fulfill his campaign promise on Bowers Tower

GOVERNOR SEYI MAKINDE YET TO FULFILL HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISE ON BOWERS TOWER By: Wole Adedoyin Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Nigeria, is facing criticism for failing to fulfill a key campaign promise. During his run for office, Governor Makinde promised to refurbish and reopen the iconic Bowers Tower in Ibadan, the state capital. The tower, which was built in the 1960s, had fallen into disrepair and was in dire need of renovation. However, over three years into Governor Makinde's term, the tower remains untouched. The once proud landmark has become an eyesore, a symbol of broken promises and unfulfilled potential. Local residents and tourists alike are disappointed by the governor's lack of action, and many are starting to question whether he will ever follow through on his promises. Governor Makinde's failure to refurbish Bowers Tower is particularly galling given the importance of tourism to the state's economy. Oyo State is rich in history and cult...
