The Emperor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhloe needs to respond to sleaze allegations against him instead of grandstanding. For those who have not been following the unfolding drama, there are allegations that the Edo State governor has been mismanaging local government funds in the joint account into which funds allocated to the local governments by FAAC are paid into. Of course, governors are sole signatories of such accounts. They decide how much to release to the LGs contrary to the laws of the land. The allegation is that the Edo governor has been manipulating this account and this is responsible for the backlog of unpaid salaries by LGs in Edo State. So many local governments in Edo State owe salaries ranging from three to 10 months. Let me put the sleaze allegations directly to the Emperor of Edo State: That you, Oshiomhole plundered the joint State/LG Account and used the money for the 2015 elections; that you have nothing on ground to show for the N30 billion facility obtained from the capital market and the N5 billion received from the World Bank to curtail erosion and that you pay yourself N500 million monthly as Security Vote, which is an illegality.

The Edo PDP says it is ready to provide more fact and has called on the EFCC to extend its current anti-corruption crusade to Edo State, adding: “We have more than enough materials to nail the corrupt practices of the political leaders in Edo State starting with the governor.” Oshiomhole should let Edo people know how much accrued to the joint account with the LGs in the last six years and the disbursements. The allegation is that there is a big gap between accruals and disbursements. Please, set the record straight instead of running after former finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweaala. The Emperor of Edo has spent the last seven weeks asking Okonjo-Iweala to explain all manners of completely wild and unsupported figures, ranging from $30 billion, $20 billion, $2.1 billion, N720 billion and now $1 billion. A man that has failed to respond to his own query is all over the place issuing queries to another person. I trust that the new look EFCC is monitoring development in Edo State.

Watching to see pple that will come and fight for him here

Oshiomole should really respond to this. Local governments in Edo state are grounded, can't pay salaries for 8months. What has he done to the monies in the joint account. The oshiomole I know will harass any LGA Chairman who plunders funds of the LGA, he's not doing that now speaks volumes.

Adams Oshiomole was only being diversionary when he was making baseless allegation against the former Finance Minister. He should respond to this grave allegation against him.

Which table turn?
You can as well take the opinion of a mad man in the street to form your own impression and public perception.
Just anybody and group can come up with wild and ludicrous allegations like this in their bid to impress the ever-increasing herd of adamantly gullible and ill-informed people like you. But how credible they sound depends on the scope of your commonsense, the dimension of your understanding and the limits (or defects) of your imagination.

Adams oshiomole is a part of those looting this country dry. He has no moral grounds to point fingers. If he can't shut up, then he should release the funds of the LGAs to enable them pay their workers and poor pensioners. Or better still support a law to stop state-lga joint accounts.
