…Builds 1 kilometer of road for N1
billion

The Ogun state governor, Ibikunle
Amosun has been accused of
criminally forging the signature of
the clerk and some other
members of the State House of
Assembly to pass the state
pension bill into law.

Impeccable and named sources in
Ogun State has revealed to
Elombah.com that the criminal act
carried out by Ogun State
governor, is currently generating
friction between the governor
and the honourable members of
the house.

The Governor has also been
accused of hiding Ogun state's
total debt figures under his
administration as well as
constructing some of the most
expensive roads per kilometer in
the country and spending a
whopping 260 million Naira on a
needless Pedestrian bridge on his
street.

One of our sources, Mr
Ifeanyichukwu Sudo, a Journalist
and publisher of Ogun State News
bulletin called Ilese News Extra
authoritatively revealed to us
that the bill to amend the state
pension bill was forged by the
governor.

The pension bill titled ‘A BILL FOR
A LAW TO AMEND THE PENSION
REFORM LAW 2006’ was
sponsored by Hon. Solarin Samuel
and Co-sponsored by Hon. Sonuga
Samuel, Hon. Adegbesan Joseph,
Hon. Ojodu Olayiwola and Hon.
Allen-Taylor Olufemi, all from the
Ogun State House of Assembly in
2013.

The bill after amendment was
sent to the governor by the
lawmakers and signed into law by
governor Amosun on 25th
September 2013.


Documents made available to us
have revealed that the actual bill
sent to the governor was not only
doctored but the signature of the
Clerk of the House, Muyiwa
Adenopo who purportedly signed
the bill was also forged. Some
parts of the bill were also secretly
expunged by the governor and
his cronies.

The controversial part of the bill
which we found to have been
doctored is the AMENDMENT OF
SECTION 17 OF THE PRINCIPAL LAW

In the document obtained from
the House of Assembly which was
passed by members of the house
and sent to the governor for
consent, it stated the following:

8. (1) As at the date of this
amendment, the State and Local
Governments Retirement Benefits
Bond redemption funds account
shall cease and be closed and the
funds contained therein shall
become payable to the State and
Local Governments respectively.

However, in the Bill signed and
passed into law Governor Amosun
on the 25th September 2013, the
governor criminally removed the
word 'LOCAL GOVERNMENT' to
allow all the Retirements Benefits
Bond funds be payable ONLY to
the State Government.

The Bill signed into law reads:

8. (1) As at the date of this
amendment, the State and Local
Governments Retirement Benefits
Bond redemption funds account
shall cease and be closed and the
funds contained therein shall be
repaid to Ogun State Government

A meticulous look at the signature
page of the Bill purportedly
signed by the Clerk of the House
and the State Governor, it reads:

This printed impression has been
carefully compared by me with
the bill which has been passed by
the Ogun State House of Assembly
and found by me to be a true and
correct printed copy of the said
bill.

According to our sources: “The
above forgery and deceit at the
height of governance points to
the impunity with which Governor
Ibikunle Amosun continues to
preside over the affairs of Ogun
State”

Governor Amosun continues to
hide the state's total debt figures
under his administration even as
witnessed in his budget speech to
the House of Assembly in
November 2013. In the said
speech, the YEAR UNDER REVIEW
section deceitfully did not contain
the achieved revenue figures in
2013 that funded the 2013
budget. Some Budget Analyst
consulted by our source, Ilese
News Extra stated that this may
be because the Government is
trying to hide the actual loans it
may have taken in the year and
which forms part of the year's
revenue.

The actual Capital receipts (i.e
loans, grants etc) they said, may
not have been in accordance to
what was approved in the 2013
budget, hence it was deceitfully
left out when it ordinarily should
have been part of the Year Under
review figures.

All hope was lost when the Ogun
State people were told that the
State House of Assembly passed
the 2014 budget without
receiving the debt stock figures
from the Finance Commissioner.

"The Ogun State people do not
know how much they owe arising
from the road constructions in
the state priced at N1billion/
kilometer and much more in other
instances", a source lamented.

The All Progressive Congress
governor who is gunning for re-
election had earlier claimed to
have built the first air-
conditioned foot bridge at a
ridiculous price of N260million, a
project widely described as a
white elephant.

The bridge is located at Sokori/
Totoro Road in Ogun State. During
the launching, Amosun said he
saw the bridge in Dubai and
decided to bring the bridge to
Ogun State.

With claims of development in his
regime, sources have stated that
the state governor has built the
most expensive roads in Nigeria
as well as bridges, with all the
cost inflated.

Commenting on the report, a
government insider told
elombah.com that the “House of
assembly in Ogun state did not
request for the figure of the
debt”, and so that is why the
figure was not included in the
review presented by the governor
to the House, a defense a
stakeholder in the state termed to
be spurious.

Okay Elombah, thanks. Unbelievable... meaning, it's simply not true. Another political intrigue? Well, we're waiting & watching. God bless Nigeria.

Our own white Elephant project is the Monorail, Ogun's is Air conditioned foot bridge, please name yours!
All is to theif money, and they do this because we don't stone them they said....
