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.
