Drama As Governor Abdulrazaq Of Kwara Appoints "Indicted Thief" As Patigi TIC by Kelf2016(m): 9:32am On Mar 09, 2021
There was a mild drama yesterday in Patigi local government area of Kwara state when one Mr Mohammed Ibrahim Liman fondly known as Ndagiri , a former indicted Patigi LG Chairman who sacked by Saraki-led Government over corruption and diversion of public properties was returned by Governor Abdulrahaman Abdulrazaq to chair Patigi LG again .

Liman Ndagiri , an erstwhile Personal Assistant to Alhaji Zubaru, former PDP Chairman in Kwara state . Liman was nominated by his principal, Alhaji Zubairu as Patigi LG Chairman based on relationship but luck ran out of him when he was caught red handed trying to sell huge loads of fertilizer meant for Patigi with an intention to pocket fund accrued from such illicit transaction

Recall that sometime in 2008, some truck loaded with Fertilizer enroute to northern Nigeria were intercepted at Oke Oyi by security operatives . When interrogated , the truck drivers confessed that the loads belongs to Patigi local government Chairman who asked them to deliver the Fertilizers to some businessmen in Kano and Kaduna .

When contacted , Liman Ndagiri denied knowledge of claims by truck drivers . He was said to be making contacts to help him cover up his crime when the story got to Governor Bukola Saraki who immediately launched an investigation which eventually indicted the chairman .Subsequently, he was removed from office following indictment

But the Otoge Governor, Abdulrahaman Abdulrazaq has now rewarded Liman Ndagiri , an indicted thief with an appointment to return as Patigi local government caretaker Chairman . Liman Ndagiri was seen yesterday brandishing his appointments letter while appreciating his employer for another vantage opportunity to unleash his venom on the common patrimony belonging to people of Patigi local government .

However, reactions have trailed his appointment, with some Patigi people saying Governor Abdulrazaq and APC in Kwara have expressed their love for corruption and affininty for morally bankrupt People.


A concerned stakeholder from Patigi was quoted as saying *"This Appointment is indeed a rare opportunity for a looter and thieves to be given another chance to loot again, the common patrimony of Patigi people"*

Since Abdulrazaq coming to Government in 2019, Transparency, accountability and probity have all taken flight from governance of the state . The FOI bill that had been passed by 8th Assembly to ensure transparency in government was stepped down by the Governor and substituted with worthless social audit , this has attracted condemnation from lenght and breath of Kwara state and even beyond .

after his inauguration, Abdulrahaman Abdulrazaq removed sitting council Chairmen across the 16 local govt with claim that they engaged in sharp practices and asked EFCC to launch probe but up till today , the report of their investigation has not been made public by EFCC which acted as middleman for Abdulrazaq vendetta against perceived political opponents even when tenure of the Chairmen had already expired .

As if that was not enough , Abdulrazaq also sacked legally constituited board of KWASIEC on Trump up allegations and without following due process , an Illegal action that has led the Government into another Illegality of appointing non elective officials as caretaker committees to oversee local governments in Kwara .

A non Governmental organization, Kwara Agenda has vowed to drag the state government to court over this, kwarans await mang interesting dramas as they unfold under Abdulrazaq Government.
