@Naija Politico

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has detained the Kwara state Commissioner of Finance, Nurudeen Banu and the Accountant General of the State, Sulaiman Ishola, over investigations into alleged slush funds for 2019 elections.

Daily Trust reported that the duo are being held at the Ilorin, Kwara state Zonal head office of the anti-graft agency to explain the utilisation of over N1 billion fund received from a commercial bank a few days to the election.

Both Banu and Ishola, are being held to explain why the money was received and how it was disbursed, the newspaper reported.

The EFCC had been asked by the Kwara Coalition for Good Governance and Accountability (KWARA-CGGA) to probe the over N1billion loan the State Government secured from a bank a few days before the general elections.

The secretary general of the group, Hassan Omoiya said it had intelligence that the state government obtained the loan on 13 February from a first generation bank using the remittance of Kwara State VAT allocation due in February and March 2019 as collateral.

“We urge the EFCC and indeed the Federal Ministry of Finance to determine the appropriateness of utilisation of credit facility of N1 billion by Kwara State Government at the twilight of general election.”

“The status of VAT Account as collateral for the credit facility in the absence of prior approval and authorization from Debt Management Office and Federal Ministry of Finance in tandem with extant laws and regulation on granting of loan to State Governments.

“It is our expectation that your investigation will extend to individuals and corporate institutions that participated in the unwholesome act with a view of prosecuting the affected individuals and institutions with attendant cost and penalty.”

OBJ has been put to permanent retirement by PMB. His letter-written voodoo failed to work this time around.

Wishing Obj happy retirement

Good move the governor himself and saraki should warming up. A thorough investigation should conduct about saraki administration in kwara state and his godson. How shonga farm turned to saraki farm,how kwara hotel was turned to Zimbabwe property, how trade bank was collapsed. The investigation should also carryout on power that found harmony holding and the power that control it from inception.in 2009 federal government gave saraki #1.5 trillion for construction of flyover from offa garage to sango 37kilometres saraki only constructed 3.5 kilometres.

This is why I will keep saying APC is a useless party.
Where did Tinubu see enough money to fill 2 bullion vans during the elections? Ganduje collected bribes on video, we all saw it, but Buhari re-endorsed him. What corruption are they fighting?

I pity the youths supporting all these biased politicians. You're just risking your future. Some of you just went to school to waste your time.

One sided judgement is a mockery of our collective intelligence. Magu will spend his life in prison if he isn't careful. The EFCC and Nigerian Army have been reduced to Buhari's hunting dogs.

APC is gradually turning into an uncontrollable monster, when the time comes, I hope those who collect money to represent them online and offline will also be there to witness the effects.
