CORRUPTION CANNOT CURE CORRUPTION - BEING RESPONSE TO A MISCHIEVOUS ARTICLES AUTHORED BY JUSTICE DEMANDS FORUM , KWARA STATE POLYTECHNIC, ILORIN.

We are young professionals from varying fields who hail from different parts of Kwara north region. Our mission is to fight and defend the common interest of people of Kwara north who are largely marginalized, subjected to all sorts of ill treatments in public offices especially in the hands of some devilish people who see themselves as sole giants who will not allow other regions to grow

Kwara State

Having taken our times to understudy every bits of malicious articles written by Justice Demand Forum , a pseudo group made up of faceless individuals through which the bitterness of their sponsor; who is obviously shocked by visitation panel's report which tends to have vindicated the Bursar who is been unduly persecuted for no other course than her kwara north trademark.

Contrary to the claim by this group, that it is seeking justice , it is clear the group is on a mission to launder the image of Hajia Aisha Mohammed , a selfless public servant who is serving her second term in office as polytechnic bursar and other polytechnic staff who are not in the good book of Dr Abdul Mohammed .

While we are aware this is an hatchet job contracted them by Mr Rector who is already nursing fear that the panel report might have rubbished his sinsiter plan to get the Bursar booted out by all means possible, we will only respond to corruption issues being continuously raised by these merchants of lies so that the Polytechnic community as well as general public can take an informed position in this whole matter .

As a group , we are interested in asking Justice Demand Forum why they have been putting the cart before the horse in their selective corruption fight ? Is it that they are not aware of all the misdoings of the Rector who has been confronted on several occasions with facts of his shady dealings and use of his office to attract undue privileges to himself and his relatives ?

Can a Rector who himself stinks of corruption be a genuine agent that can be used to fight corruption in any system?

Justice Demand Forum claimed they are interested in weeding out corruption from the system , a stance we in Kwara north youth frontiers would have supported wholeheartedly; if it was borne out of primordial sentiment and ethnic sensationalism. But it is quite disgusting that an innocent woman who has not been found wanting even after several ICPC invitations is now a victim of their campaign of calumny just because of her Kwara north identity .

Since their claims hinged on fighting corruption, let us assist them by asking them to tell their sponsor to provide explanations on the following allegations of corruption, nepotism and gross financial recklessness that are now public knowledge since his assumption to office as the Polytechnic Rector:

1. Ten Million Naira(#10Million) Admission Processing Fund

Kwara North Youth Frontiers are of the view that he who must come to equity must come with clean hands . Aside from whipping up sentiment and sensationalism by Justice Demand Forum , they must also be courageous enough to ask their sponsor to provide answers to the allegation of embezzlement and illict sharing of roughly 10million naira Admission Screening and processing fund by the Rector and his accomplices . This fund which was laundered under the pretense of payment to Global Wise , a Tech Company that has not carry out any project for the institution.

Admission Processing and screening was a project conducted by Dallash Communication without any charges before their eventual disengagement. How come Global Wise is now receiving payment for a service it did not render?

We dare Justice Demand Forum to advise the Rector to subject himself to ICPC probe same way he had made the Bursar and other senior polytechnic officers to face undue probe with icpc.

We are able to talk tall today because after all the Rigmaroles and persecutions, Hajia Aihsat Mohammed came out unblemished which is an indication that she has bee discharging her duties with dignity.

*Shady Contract Dealings with Bank*

The Justice Demand Forum should also summon some courage to ask their sponsor what business he had with the FCMB bank ; which made the Bank built a luxurious 4-Bedrooms Flat located in Oyun(Photo Attached) with a Motorize Borehole dug within the premises ? Was it not the polytechnic salaries the Rector forcefully took to that bank without any board approval that put him in a vantage position to get such benefit from the bank?

If truly those writing for this man are educated , they are supposed to know that using public office to influence undue favour is not only corruption but criminal offence which is even jailable under the law .

*Deliberate Sabotage of Tetfund & Polytechnic Codes to Favour Friends*

The illegal lifting of suspension and subsequent payments of all withheld salaries and allowances of one Mr Abdulganiyu Lanre aka BABADUDU, an ally and loyalist of Rector who was suspended for leaving office for over one year , without approval but because this man carries out dirty task for the Rector around the polytechnic community , he has not only been pardoned by the man who see himself as 'Alfa & Omega' in the polytechnic but also had his debt overturned .

If breaking the law to favour your friends is not an act of corruption , then what do we call it?

Aside from this , there is another ally who was sent on Scholarship abroad by Tetfund . The total amount spent by Tetfund on this man was about eight million naira but the man failed in his first semester at the host institution and was withdrawn for academic incompetence.

Embarrassed by this development, Tetfund wrote the polytechnic demanding full refund of all scholarship grant expended on him . in order to make the refund easier , the past regime gave directives that fifty thousand naira be removed monthly from his salary till he fully pay up his debt .

But this Rector for no known reason stopped this deductions without any board decision and placed the repayment burden on the polytechnic.

How will our friends at Justice Demand Forum describe this or will they help their sponsor deny that nothing of such happened?

Its because of any doubt that we attached a copy of document that supported this claim in our conversation since we are not those who pass judgement based on fallacy and sensationalism .

*Lavishing of Polytechnic Fund on Workshops Against Board Resolution*

The polytechnic community had been directed to suspend both local and foreign conferences, seminars and workshops since March 2020. But the Rector out of desperation to corner fund had fraudulently enlisted his allies and caused huge amount of fund to be awarded for each beneficiaries who attended the staged managed workshop at Abuja .

It is important to lecture our friends at Justice Demand Forum that all of these funds being mismanaged by Dr Abdul Mohammed led Rectory were not made under his leadership. They were left behind by the Elelu administration he is busy castigating today .

Now if Elelu had been a wasteful spender like this , would he have access to the pool of fund he is sharing for his people today?

The self acclaimed Justice Demand Forum should for once put their sentiment aside and ask the Rector to provide explanation to all these allegations since they can also dwell on cheap beer parlour talks to smear the name of other polytechnic officials .

Let us emphasize that we are not going to be gagged by by any smear campaign launched against anybody from Kwara north region . instead, we will continue our show of solidarity and encourage our people who are suffering various degrees of persecutions in the hands of people who are intoxicated by power to remain calm and law abiding

Our advise for those behind JDF is to first remove the log of wood in their own eyes before trying to remove the sediments from other people's eyes .

It is morally unjustifiable if not despicable for a corrupt ridden personality like Dr Abdul Mohammed who has suddenly acquired enough properties within few months in office to be dragging another people based corruption

In a sane system, such character ought to have willfully excused himself from the system to allow a detribalized and competent hands with proven integrity take charge in the interest of progress of the Polytechnic.

Instead of the shameless man to be remorseful with all the fact and evidences of sharp malpractices, infidelity , contract inflation , unlawful deployment of staff and misappropriation of polytechnic fund all leveled against him, he is busy running from pillar to pole inducing faceless group to write defamatory articles against polytechnic officials who have had to suffer injustice in his hands just because they are from Kwara North .

We challenge the Rector to summon courage and allow anti corruption agencies to step in and investigate all our claims above to prove his innocence or otherwise.
