Details have emerged regarding the
diversion of N5.2 billion in public funds by
Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and the
CEO of ULO Consultants Limited, Uche
Okpunor.
The money was originally loaned out for the renovation of
the Asaba International Airport because the Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority (NCAA) recently downgraded the
airport due to poor maintenance of runways and taxiways.
After the NCAA’s downgrade of the airport, Governor
Okowa immediately submitted a request for a loan of N5
billion to the Delta State House Assembly. The funds were
intended to be allocated to ULO Consultants Limited, the
contracting firm handling the renovations of the airport.
SaharaReporters was informed that during the negotiation
stages of the loan, Mr. Okpunor, a close ally of former
Senate President David Mark, sold the contract to the
Chinese firm China Civil Engineering Construction
Corporation (CCECC).
Speaking on the condition of anonymity a member of
CCECC’s senior management staff explained to
SaharaRerporters that the rehabilitation of the Asaba
airport has been delayed due to the pilfering of billions of
Naira by both the Governor and ULO Consultants.
According to the source the new contract was originally
negotiated for N2.5 billion, less than half of the original
amount issued out. The CCECC executive explained that
they had learned that the other half “went into the
Governor's tribunal case, possibly to buy judges, although
we [CCECC] did not care.”
However, CCECC did not even receive the N2.5 billion
immediately after the release of the funds Governor
Okowa collected N500 million. Another N1.5 billion was
pilfered by USO Consultants, leaving only N500 million for
CCECC.
Because of this diversion of funds, the CCECC has refused
to begin work on rehabilitating the Asaba International
Airport. Speaking to SaharaReporters the CCECC senior
manager said, “we will not go to site unless the full money
is released to CCECC.”
ULO Consultants is known for abandoning contacts, it has
yet to complete construction of Mariam Babandiga Way or
section A of the Asaba-Ughelli dualisation. The company
has also been accused of completing projects with
substandard materials.
Mr. Okpunor has not returned the several calls and
messages SaharaReporters has made to his mobile number.
However, an anonymous staff member of ULO Consultants
did confirm CCECC’s account of the deal.

Leaders of the pan-Yoruba socio-political group,
Afenifere, are currently in a secret meeting at Mr.
Pa Reuben Fasoranti’s residence in Akure, Ondo
State.
Mr. Pa Reuben Fasoranti is the current leader of
Afenifere. However, it will be recalled that yesterday
SaharaReporters published a story detailing the decision by
Afenifere to choose a new leader, as well as address other
issues affecting the group.
A reliable source informed SaharaReporters that Governor
Olusegun Mimiko is currently present at the meeting.
"The Governor of Ondo State is currently here, and we are
discussing the way forward for the group," the source
stated.
It was learned that the meeting is strictly for core leaders
of the group. Security around and inside the compound
has been significantly increased.
Sources inside the compound informed our correspondent
that core leaders from Lagos, Ogun, and Abuja are in
attendance.
"I can see some vehicles from Lagos, Ogun, and Abuja who
strictly came for the meeting," the source explained.
Afenifere’s leadership are expected to address journalists
after a decision is made.

ABUJA—For the second time since he left office on May
29, former president Goodluck Jonathan yesterday
visited his successor, President Muhammadu Buhari at
the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The meeting which held behind closed doors at the New
Banquet Hall of the State House lasted barely ten
minutes.
Jonathan arrived at about 2.00pm and left at 2.13pm
after the meeting.
Though the reason for his visit was not disclosed. While it
is believed that Jonathan came to brief the president on
the outcome of the Tanzania election in which he played
a role as the leader of Commonwealth Election Observer
Group to observe the conduct of the election, there are,
however, feelers that the former president came to seek
an understanding with the present government to halt
the criticism against his government.
This is predicated on the fact that the former
president’s visit came on a day President Buhari
insisted that he would not stop talking about the “evils”
of the Jonathan and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
government.
It will also be recalled that Jonathan paid a similar visit
to the villa recently when criticism against his
government heightened.
Following enquiries made to the presidency on the
agenda of the meeting between Jonathan and Buhari,
presidential spokesperson, Mr. Femi Adesina
told Vanguard on phone that Jonathan could call at the
villa at will.
“He has the right to visit the villa anytime as a former
president,” Adesina said.

Abagworo:
According to memo signed by the Permanent
Secretary, Mr. Richard Nwala, “ the level of
dilapidation of the roads has caused the Abia State
government to write the Federal Government
severally, including requests for permission to take
up the construction of some of them using State fund,
despite the state’s lean resources.”


“Requests for permission were made on the
rehabilitation of Port-Harcourt Road Aba, Aba-Owerri
Road and Aba-Ikot Ekpene Road, which are no longer
passable.”
