July 13, 2019, The Punch in an exhaustive investigative report, detailed how Vice President Yemi Osinbajo aka Pastor RUGA, was involved in an alleged N100bn scam.

In what could be termed Linkage Scam Group, N100bn was laundered among four different companies owned by the same people. Simmons Cooper Partners is linked to Ocean Trust Limited. Ocean Trust Limited is linked to Alpha Beta Consulting Limited. Alpha Beta Consulting Limited is linked to Alpha Beta LP. The four companies were accused of being a “conduit for diversion and laundering of funds”.

Simmons Cooper Partners is linked to Osinbajo. Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to General Muhammadu Buhari, said Simmons Cooper Partners was listed as a company in which Osinbajo has a stake in his assets declaration form in 2015. Dapo Apara, the erstwhile managing director of Alpha Beta, alleged that Alpha Beta owed the federal government N100bn in unpaid taxes spanning over 10 years.

Osinbajo as the then Attorney General of Lagos State and Wale Edun the then Commissioner for Finance, recommended to Bola Ahmed Tinubu the then Lagos State governor, that Alpha Beta Consulting be given the exclusive rights to collect taxes on behalf of Lagos State government with 10 per cent commission. Alpha Beta raked in N600m per month from the contract.

Pro-transparency groups and those close to Tinubu business empire confirmed that Tinubu owns Alpha Beta. In 2012, Dominic Adegbola, Lagos-based medical doctor, filed a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to Lagos State government seeking detailed information on all Alpha Beta contracts with Lagos State since 1999. Ade Ipaye, the then Lagos State Attorney General now Osinbajo’s chief of staff, turned down the request saying the FOI was a federal law that did not apply to the states.

In November 2017, a state judge ruled that the FOI was applicable to Lagos State. The judge said “The law was duly enacted by the National Assembly and did not require domestication to take effect in states.” What happened to the N100bn Alpha Beta scam? Like all other high profile corruption cases, the EFCC deleted the case from its docket.

During the Buhari-Osinbajo presidency, corruption has flourished in previously unthinkable ways, and at such a remarkable rate, that it’s almost impossible to keep tabs on it. Osinbajo has dutifully stood by General Buhari, mustering a devotional gaze rarely seen by an intellectual to an illiterate and ignorant president. What a comical mismatch!

History is replete with people who have changed the world for good as well as those who caused massive destruction for their people. They left a wake of pain behind them. They left a legacy of destruction, legacy of pain, and legacy of ruins. Osinbajo as Vice President of Federal Republic of Nigeria by his utterances, action, or inaction writes his own history and legacy.

Investigative journalism indeed.

Chaii from Star boy to Pastor Ruga. Make Una fear Godooo

All of them are collaborators in crime against humanity(Fulanisation )

Bayo Oluwasanmi, a bitter soul trying hard to discredit the Vice President from his base in Maryland, US. I'm not suprised at his vitrols to demean the VP, Yemi Osinbajo. The same was said of Femi Adesina by this man when it finally dawned on him that he won't be part of the government he started praising high heavens few months into the Buhari's regime. For people to take him serious, more investigative journalism must be put into practice. Until then, let me continue to believe he's trying to show us how versatile he has been recently.

The claim that corruption is flourishing much in this administration is contradicting and ironic to the narrative that there's no much money in circulation by same people.

It is commonsensical and a Nigeria phenomenon that when corruption thrives, it trickle down to every sector, but the situation we have here is different.

Nigeria earning now is way far below what we were earning in the past, and you cannot steal money more what is in circulation. Simple!

Pastor RUGA

Lzaa must hear this.

Bayo Oluwasanmi a Mad Dog that takes pleasure in Barking in Sahara Reporters Kernel. Remember we still have record of how you lobbied to work with this same Man you attack at any given opportunity.

This man is still pained. Jumping from one politician to the other all in the name of getting appointment.

Osinbajo never had anything to do with Ruga but NLTP where governor give land to the FG to set up ranching which would create thausands of jobs directly & indirectly. This eventually put to stop to farmers- herders clashes.

Both the OP and the punch need medical attention for their useless post

What's sahara reporters on? This their constant display of irresponsibility? Journalism is gone!

For how long will you be circulating this rubbish claim, SimmonsCooper Partners has stated that it is not involved in any shape or form, neither does it have a link with the alleged tax evasion, money laundering, nor corruption claims alleged against any of the corporations identified in the publication.

Osinbajo has dutifully stood by General Buhari, mustering a devotional gaze rarely seen by an intellectual to an illiterate and ignorant president. What a comical mismatch!

imhotep:
