Former Governor of Edo State, Mr. Lucky Igbinedion, has asked Governor Adams Oshiomhole to explain to the people of Edo how he allegedly squandered trillions of Federal Allocations and Internal Generated Revenue he collected in the last seven years.

The ex-governor dismissed a statement credited to Oshiomhole that it took seven years for him (the governor) to speak out on the purportedly illegalities perpetrated by him while in office.

In a statement he personally signed in Abuja on Satuday, Igbinedion promised to expose his successor at the appropriate time.

The Edo State Government had on Wednesday said it had begun moves to recover $31m allegedly “fraudulently taken” from the government coffers, during Igbinedion’s administration.

Oshiomhole also vowed to publish records of fraud allegedly perpetrated by the ex-governor, adding that he would forward all the files containing the alleged fraud to Abuja this week for prosecution.

Oshiomhole had also accused the ex-governor and his father, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, of allegedly converting government properties and funds meant for the people of the state to private use.

The governor had said his feud with the Igbinedion family started when he revoked the over 200,000 hectares of government land, which the former governor allegedly gave to his father in Okada, as well as the termination of the Memorandum of Understanding the ex-governor allegedly signed with his father.

The MoU, Oshiomhole alleged, was to allow “the medical students in Igbinedion University to use our state-owned hospital at the expense of the Edo State Government while Chief Igbinedion collects N1m from each medical student.”

Igbinedion, however, said records of activities during his tenure were open to the public.

He said, “I have made it very clear time without numbers that the files of my tenure are there for everybody who cares to ask to check. I do not intend to dignify Adams Oshiomhole any longer by joining issue with him.

“He should explain to the people of Edo State how he spent the federal allocations and internal generated revenues running into trillions naira in seven years.

“He should tell the people of Edo how much he is paying as land tax for his house in Iyamho worth over N10bn and other properties he has acquired in the last seven years in Dubai, Cape Town in South Africa, in San Francisco, United States of America, a high rise apartment in Atlanta also in America and in London. He is calling everybody a thief but Oshiomhole is the biggest thief in Benin City today.”

The ex-governor added that because Oshiomhole had allegedly mismanaged the financial resources of the state, which were entrusted in his care in the last seven years, and currently receiving the hit from the people, the governor was looking for ways to divert people’s attention.

Igbinedion added, “Oshiomhole has failed; the people of Edo State now know him better. Oshiomhole is the least qualified person to talk about corruption in the country today because his actions and programmes in the last seven years in Edo State epitomise corruption.

“He has called everybody in Nigeria a thief; has called former President Olusegun Obasanjo a thief; called former President Goodluck Jonathan a thief, he called (ex-Minister of Finance, Ngozi) Okojo-Iweala a thief, and others. Yet, he cannot prove his cases. I don’t think he knows the meaning of a thief.

“He lives in the glass house and throwing stones. President Muhammadu Buhari will soon find out the real Oshiomhole by the time we provide documents against him.”

Several calls made to the telephone of Chief Press Secretary to the Edo State Governor, Mr. Peter Okhiria, to get boss’ reaction to Igbinedion’s allegations on Saturday were not picked.

Mumugidi

Thieves know themselves. How come Oshiomole knows all the thieves in 9ja Na them know where them dey jam

My eyes hv seen both governors, truth is Lucky was a thief but Oshiomole is by far a bigger thief.

Edo State always producing ugly criminal governors.

Lol

Lmao. Na who we go believe now?

One deduction I can make out is they're not denying being a thief. The question is, who's the biggest.

...and they're both ugly sef. Makes matters worse.

I was born and bred in Lagos Nigeria. i am over 30 but swimming in poverty. i attended a university in Ogun state but i dropped out due to the loss of my mother who happened to be my sponsor back then. My father died before i was 4years old so i had no one to fall back on. I am the only child and life has been so cruel to me. I have no job at hand. My fathers family has taken possession of his property at Agege Lagos because they insist my mother had me for another man due to stories i'm hearing for the first time since my parent's demise. The story of my life is so wide, bitter and depressing. The moral of my epistle is that i need a casual job to survive. I am contemplating suicide at the moment and i almost drank sniper insecticide today. This is my last attempt at survival before i do the needful on my existence. Nairalanders please help me find any legal job be it unskilled labour. I have tried and tried but to no avail. Pardon me for been incoherent. I am a depressed soul waiting to see if my life can have a second chance.

This is not fraud nor scam. if you really want to know how real my story is kindly send me a private message.

Mogidi:

Agreed! But Oshiomole is the bigger thief.

End time thieves...

There is no way a liar will not steal.
Since Mr. Adams Oshiomhole appointed himself as the Minister of Lies & Propaganda, I knew he will soon overtake Mr. Lucky Igbinedion in stealing.

2 old "thiefiologist".....


Oshiomole the reigning thief while the latter is The Ex- thief.

Thief dy catch thief

Lolz only thief knwz thief

Is mr. Lucky in nigeria or haven't he been reading newspaper nor listening to radio? He doesn't know the current trend? Oshiomole is an APC member, a core one for that matter. He can't be corrupt. Like they will want us to believe, the core loyalist of our president can never be corrupt. Or if you were, his powerful body odour will cleanse you through.
we have all heard of how the blood of jesus, the blood of the lamb... How it cleanse people from sins, how it heals the sick, buhari's odour acts the same way in our current political system in nigeria, it cleanse his loyalist of corruption, it fixed the economy, it fix bad roads, it builds refineries and brings steady power supply.
Ask our current minister of information if you think am lieing.
