Probe: Group Accuses Buhari Of Shielding Aregbesola by shaddoww: 4:51pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
The Civil Societies Coalition for Emancipation of
Osun State has accused President Muhammadu
Buhari of shielding Governor Rauf Aregbesola
from being investigated by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission following the
allegations of corruption against him.
The chairman of the group, Mr. Sulaiman Adeniyi,
said this at a press conference he addressed in
Osogbo on Monday.
Listing the many ‘sins’ of the governor, Adeniyi
said the governor lied about the amount of
revenue which accrued to the state in the past
four years. He added that the governor
circumvented the due process and accountability
in public finance.
According to him, the administration stopped civil
servants from preparing salaries and contracted
same out to a firm from Lagos which, they
claimed, colluded with the governor to illegally
jerk up the wage bill from N1.3 billion to N3.6
billion despite that one thirds of the civil servant
voluntarily retired in 2012.
Adeniyi said the governor had committed many
impeachable offences and anti -graft agencies
ought to have begun investigations into the
allegations against the governor.
He said some of the aides of the governor ought
to have been investigated and prosecuted if the
governor still enjoyed immunity from prosecution.
He said, ” President Muhammadu Buhari is
shielding Aregbesola from Investigation by anti-
graft bodies over criminal financial
mismanagement.
“We are surprised that despite the fact that the
Oloyede’s petition was sent to the EFCC and the
ICPC about two months ago, these agencies of
the Federal Government, under President
Muhammadu Buhari, have refused to respond to
this matter of urgent public interest.
“The mismanagement of the state’s resources
has led to the death of many citizens from
extreme poverty occasioned by the governor’s
failure to pay salaries pensions and cooperative
deductions thereby killing commercial activities
and threatening the security of lives and property
of the state.”
Speaking on the probe panel set up by the House
of Assembly to investigate the petition of
corruption written by Justice Folahanmi Oloyede,
Adeniyi said the panel had written their report
even before the commencement of investigation |
