Present the kind of evidence of transaction that young lawyer did against Akpabio & put it in public domain if EFCC is not doing the needful...& Fashola will get the necessary treatment...

Borehole & website are not enough indictment, they can be explained away.....

There is a difference between abuse of office & direct misappropriation of funds.....

People need to learn how to fight without making noise.

What a philosophical bullshit and facultative logical hara-kiri!

modath:
Doesn't change the fact that the so called CACOL don't have a foolproof case to present....

Akpabio was presented with proof.....

I'd take silly over bad any day, silly is inadvertent while bad is deliberate evil.....

Fashola won't be prosecuted cos it's your dearest wish..

And did u read the rebuttal? no! for u akpabio is already guilty.
Akpabio, who spoke through Akwa Ibom
State Commissioner for Information, Mr.
Aniekan Umanah, said those accusing him
of impropriety did not know the workings
of government.
Umanah said:”Every sum withdrawn from
a government account is tied to a
subhead and there must be a budgetary
provision. To attribute fraud to
withdrawals, which had the full sanction
of government and was accommodated in
the budget, is strange, mischievous and
untenable. More so, when one
understands that there are checks and
balances which guide all aspects of
government financial administration.”
He said the allegation that the state
government spent N50 billion on the
March general elections falls flat based on
his explanation of the workings of
government on financial transactions.
“There was no such provision in the
budget of this year and such an amount
could not have been paid as an extra-
budgetary expenditure and yet salaries
and other commitments were met. We
challenge the petitioners to provide proof
to support this wild allegation. Who was it
paid to? How was it paid? Where was it
paid? And when was it paid,”the
commissioner said.
“Senator Akpabio does not own a 25-
storey building in Victoria Island or in any
part of the world, as alleged by the
petitioner. It is also patent falsehood that
the house at 22 Probyn Road, Ikoyi
belongs to Senator Akpabio.
“It is a rented building which ownership
can be verified from the Lagos State
Lands Registry.
“Senator Akpabio does not own the
properties mentioned in the petition to
belong to him. You can verify the
ownership of the properties (5 Okokosi
Close, Maitama and Plot 28 Colorado
Close, Maitama) from the land registry in
Abuja,” he said.
He also denied that the state received
over N2 trillion as oil allocation.
“Please do note that the idea that the
Akwa Ibom State government received
over N2.5 trillion in the eight years of the
Akpabio administration is an outrageous
lie.
“What this suggests is that the state
government received an average of N26
billion monthly for the period. What a lie!
From published accounts of disbursement
from the Federation Account, Akwa Ibom
State never received up to N26 billion in
any month throughout the period.

nationwide1:
Are you speaking as if you're addressing school kids?


One bore-hole at 139 million naira and it means nothing to you? It means so much to some of us.



Do you know that some of us have us have embarked on that project before? Lol.



Fashola cannot defend that. I'm very sorry to say, the "ignorant senators" smiled and he walked away when he said he doesn't sign cheque.



We'll certainly have change someday in Nigeria but definitely not now.

Do you think all of us on NL are ignorant??

Cos we all comment here, it means we don't know how things work...

You actually think the contracts & payment schedule wouldn't have been worked in a way that even with 99% assurance that something fishy went down but to prove it will be an uphill task......

Government office is the bedrock of corruption, proving it is always the issue..

As long as direct withdrawals were not made from the accounts & a contractor is paid, it will be like running after a fleeing car trying to prove wrongdoing.....

Seen a situatuation where a musician was paid 16m for xmas party, 12m was kicked back to the ogas...

Morality has no place in law...

sammyj:
Story for the gods. Whether they like it or not Fashola is already a minister and no Jupiter except God can stop him. I wonder why this group will not channel their efforts on things that will improve the lives of the common men like infrastructure development rather they are fighting a lost battle under the guise of some cabals!!!

If i catch you talk you about PDP corruption on nairaland again, i would embarass you seriously.
I have bookmarked this thread.

There is something btw Deborah Adeniran (Mr CACOL) and Fashola that they are not telling us. Even when Fashola was Governor this guy kept on criticizing him on the media. Even if Fashola stole money am sure it can't even be up to 10 billion unlike Mr Akpabio a whole 108 billion, if true that man is a wicked man. That money can secure the future of millions of Ibomites.

I think we need to see, understand and accept that;

1. Corruption doesn't go in a day.
2. Corruption can NEVER be TOTALLY eradicated to point zero
3. We need to accept whichever way it chooses to start leaving, vis-à-vis our clime

Nigeria is like a book with many pages but the same content on each page.

Its just written in different ways but the same content.

If Nigeria really is to be free of corruption quote me any where, 90 percent of all the politicians we have ever had will be in jail by now.

We are not still ready to be honest with ourselves as a nation.

Bigmillz:
I know e-apc rats will be talking nonsense soon enough. Fashola, Tinubu, Ameachi aregbesola. Have done so much damage to Nigeria than Abacha. They ought to be in prison now.

so u agreed that Abacha did some damage to Nigeria,yet ur gej still gave him posthumous award. This shows how gullible gej is. If u can't cope with PMB,pls go back to ur country,in any case, u never believed in d project called nigeria. I wonder why you always cried more than the bereaved. Find a way to get ur "Oil" back,instead of crying on NL.

Who on earth would have believed that the supposedly "we must kill corruption" government of buhari will have to be hit with a hammer just to make them fight corruption.

It's terrible.

Buhari, APC and their supporters don't want us to fight corruption. They just want to distract us with demonizing the past government.

Never knew we'd have to go this length.

So shameful.

Enough of dis noise even Mr President accuse so many tins by d previous Govn he's do dis and that he's bh without any evidence pls you people shld go to court until they find them guilty Infact Mr President didn't even appoint new EFCC chairman

You mean this one is not enough?


Alleged N20bn Fraud:group Drags Fayemi, Others To EFCC, ICPC

The former governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi has been dragged to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and then Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) over alleged fraudulent practices, running to over N20 billion.

https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/20141007_145845-e1412775191795-768x1024.jpg?c7245b

The Save Ekiti Coalition (SEC), which made this allegation, wrote petition dated September 26, 2014 to the EFCC and ICPC and the petition was submitted in Abuja on September 29, 2014.

The petition signed by SEC Secretary, Comrade Oke Ayodele was titled; “Complaint of fraudulent practices against Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and others: call for investigation and prosecution.”


The group said the frauds were perpetrated through N2.6 billion construction of new civic centre, N383.9m earthwork for new governor’s office, diversion of State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and Local Councils funds through contracts worth N4.2bn, inflation of road contracts worth over N10bn and diversion of N1.2bn FADAMA fund.

The petition read in part; “Contract for the construction of a New Civic Centre was awarded to TIANJIN-YUYANG Construction Eng. Limited on August 30, 2012 at the cost of N2, 573,584,395.75, while Consultancy on the construction was awarded to CASA Nig Ltd on June 11, 2012 at the cost of N137, 611,325.07.

20140929_170623-1

“Curiously, as at the end of 2012, a sum of N643,396,098.94 (representing 25% of total contract sum) had been paid to TIANJIN-YUYANG Construction Eng. Limited while the consultant, CASA Nig. Ltd was paid N89,801,901.06 (representing 80% of total contract sum).

“In 2013, a sum of N350, 116,245.17 was paid to TIANJIN-YUYANG Construction Eng. Limited, making a total sum of N993, 512,344.11 (representing 45% of total contract sum).
“While the Project contractor was paid 25% of the contract sum in 2012, why was the consultant paid 80% of the contract sum? Information available to us indicates that the Consultant was hurriedly paid 80% of the contract sum so as to enable some officials of the government get N50m of the contract sum. “Also, payment to the contractor was changed to N350, 116,245.17 in the 2014 Capital Projects Report, as against the sum of N643, 396,098.94 presented in the 2013 Capital Projects Report.

“Contract for the construction of earthwork for the N ew Governor’s Office was awarded to PONTI-ITALWARE Nig Ltd on March 3, 2012 at the sum of N383, 900,911.06, with a sum of N115, 170,273.32 paid to the contractor. The New Governor’s Office was proposed to be constructed
from the N25bn Bond obtained by the State Government, with N3, 474,700.000.00 earmarked for the project. “However, with N115, 170,273.32 paid to PONTI-ITALWARE Nig Ltd form earthwork, as at today, the site has been abandoned, with no significant work done.

“By our own assessment, what was spent on the site cannot be more than N5m. “Also, in the 2014 Capital Projects Report, the N115, 170,273.32 paid for the earthwork was deleted, raising poser as to why the payment was missing from the 2014 updated account.


“In 2012, contracts worth N4, 246,094,751.14 were awarded through the Bureau of Special Projects (under the Governor’s office), headed by Mr. Kelekun. The contracts were for renovation of schools, supply of school furniture and construction of classrooms. Funds for these projects were taken from SUBEB and Local Governments accounts.

“Of these contracts, N3, 672,078,820.14 were for renovation of schools alone. Atlantic Offshore & Properties got N1, 152,562,555.14, Strabic Nig. Ltd got N1, 107,744.408.21, Bam Darley Nig. Ltd. got N924, 977,310.95 while Fatub Nig. Ltd got N486, 794,545.84.

“Immediately the renovation contracts were awarded, Atlantic Offshore & Properties was paid N750 million (70% of contract sum), Strabic Nig. Ltd was paid N600 million (65% of contract sum), Bam Darley Nig. Ltd was paid N600 million (70% of contract sum) while Fatub Nig.
Engineering Ltd was paid N150 million (60% of contract sum). “A total of N2.1bn was paid from SUBEB and LG accounts to these contractors even before the commencement of work, and over 40% of the payment was diverted into private pockets.

“In the 2014 Capital Projects Report, payments to the contractors were presented as;
a: Atlantic Offshore & Properties – N1, 022,130,415.64
b: Strabic Nig. Ltd – N957, 237,829.62
c: Bam Darley Nig. Ltd – N742, 730,990.25

Nig. Ltd that was paid N742, 730,990.25 had done 60% work too and ought to have been paid N554, 986,386.57.
“Contracts for REHABILITATION of Roads were awarded at highly inflated cost, with some of the roads costing as high N50 million per kilometre when the immediate past government awarded CONSTRUCTION of roads at less than N45m per kilometre. The REHABILITATION only involved cutting of failed portion, filling with laterite and stone base and asphalt overlay. No subsoil drainages, new pipe culverts and box culverts were constructed.

“For instance, 10.7km Ado-Afao was awarded at N538, 638,704.26, 17km Ilawe-Igbara Odo-Ibuji road, which was awarded at a little above N200m by the immediate past government was re-awarded to at N894,698,043.75, 11.5km Ado-Ilawe road was awarded at N482,849,098.20, 3.6km
Ijigbo-Baptist College (Ilawe road) was awarded at N788,038,599.60 while Fajuyi-University Teaching Hospital Road that is less than3km was awarded at N447,544,063.50

“Rehabilitation of 13km Old Garrage-Ado-Ikere road was awarded to Plycon Nig Ltd at N2, 369,833,077.15.

“Construction of 0.8km Old Garrage-Ojumose (Ado-Ekiti) road was awarded to Heartland Nig. Ltd at N866, 872,873.13.

“Using the State Public Works Corporation (PWC), rehabilitation 5km township roads were embarked upon in each of the 16 LGs. Contracts for the rehabilitation of these roads were awarded without any input from the respective LGs while fund for the project was deducted from the
local councils allocation. “For instance, rehabilitation of 5km roads in Moba LG was awarded for N368, 950,821.09, Ido/Osi LG for N329, 950,821.50 and Ilejemeje LG for N347, 914,157.68. Apart from the PWC, cronies of Governor Kayode Fayemi were also given the contract. Most of the road projects have been abandoned.

“In 2010, the World Bank in collaboration with the Federal Government released $7.5m (about N1.2bn) for FADAMA III Project. The State Government was expected to provide counterpart fund of N100m. FADAMA III was for LIVESTOCK farmers. “However, the N100m counterpart fund was not provided by the State government until 2013.

“Instead of using this fund for the purpose for which the World Bank and FG released it, the State Government set up a scheme called Youths Commercial Agriculture Development Programme (YCAD) and used the FADAMA III grant from the World Bank and FG to fund it.

6-10 YCAD farmers were purportedly given N6 million each while FADAMA farmers, who registered FUGs of Ten (10) farmers collectively applied for six hundred and ninety thousand Naira only (N69,000.00 per farmer) were left unfunded.

“There were just 142 YCAD members, but the government claimed they were 15,000. “The government also claimed that it bought NINE Tractors at N98m and constructed abattoir for N18m. However, the tractors claimed to have been bought with N98m were the ones supplied to Ekiti State by the federal government during the immediate past administration of Engr Segun Oni.

“Also, the N100m counterpart fund paid by the State government into FADAMA’s ECO Bank, Ado-Ekiti account was later returned to the government coffers.

“For FADAMA IV, a sum of $10.5m (about N1.7bn) was released in August, this year by the World Bank in collaboration with the FG for cassava plantation. Moves are now being made to siphon this fund.”

However, the tractors claimed to have been bought with N98m were the ones supplied to Ekiti State by the federal government during the immediate past administration of Engr Segun Oni.

“Also, the N100m counterpart fund paid by the State government into FADAMA’s ECO Bank, Ado-Ekiti account was later returned to the government coffers.

“For FADAMA IV, a sum of $10.5m (about N1.7bn) was released in August, this year by the World Bank in collaboration with the FG for cassava plantation. Moves are now being made to siphon this fund.”

I read this essay twice and still din't see any criminal activity or embezzlement, just a laundry list of contracts, amount paid to contractors, suggestions and innuendos..


Maybe it's just me, please highlight the criminal part like stealing money, embezzlement and in whose account all the money went...

With akpabio, billions was taken out of the state's pocket with zero specific reason/s per what was done with the funds and this is why the EFCC is eyeing akpabio.

Saying Lagos state spent too much money on a website is just your opinion and it doesn't mean any crime was committed especially since the contract was awarded based on the documented going rates at the agencies involved and for Fashola to be criminally liable for anything, you have to prove that the money or part of the money went into his pocket or bank account which is not what they are alleging, just that the state spent too much in this and that which is really not a crime, it's just your own opinion.

And you wonder why the EFCC don't pay attention to these silly and waste of time rubbish..

bakynes:
There is something btw Deborah Adeniran (Mr CACOL) and Fashola that they are not telling us. Even when Fashola was Governor this guy kept on criticizing him on the media. Even if Fashola stole money am sure it can't even be up to 10 billion unlike Mr Akpabio a whole 108 billion, if true that man is a wicked man. That money can secure the future of millions of Ibomites.

Whether Fashola stole N10 or surpassed Akpabio (if true), stealing is stealing and both men should dance to the tune!

yehmi01:
Nigeria is like a book with many pages but the same content on each page.

Its just written in different ways but the same content.

If Nigeria really is to be free of corruption quote me any where, 90 percent of all the politicians we have ever had will be in jail by now.

We are not still ready to be honest with ourselves as a nation.

this is the best post....nigeria is not ready...when we are done running in circles with our useless leaders we would find out we've been incessantly foolish...

Please can you do a borehole for 2 billion naira? I know a governor who doesn't sign cheques but will approve the contract.

Thanks

modath:
Present the kind of evidence of transaction that young lawyer did against Akpabio & put it in public domain if EFCC is not doing the needful...& Fashola will get the necessary treatment...

Borehole & website are not enough indictment, they can be explained away.....

There is a difference between abuse of office & direct misappropriation of funds.....

People need to learn how to fight without making noise.

Just read your write up.

There's always a way of justifying crimes once they are not associated with pdp.

Must it be the same kind of offense before you will accept that it is crime?

Tell yourself the truth, will you speak this grammar of justifying Fashola's allegations if it should be somebody in your black list?

Can you allow such amounts of your personal money to be spent on such projects? Hypocrisy!!!

Hahah baba fight corruption lol

For those defending Fashola Bose George was imprisoned cos of splicting contract and inflacting contract is a big offence.
