Igiebor to petition Buhari over alleged mismanagement by Edo govt
A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain in Edo State, Mr Osahon Igiebor, has expressed misgivings over what he termed the mismanagement by the present government of the state under Governor Adams Oshiomhole of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Igiebor has vowed to petition the governor before the presidency to constitute a panel to investigate the accounting books of the state from the period between 2008 till date to ascertain claims that the records of development projects being put in place equal the financial expenditures of the state governor.
He said: “My point is this, not that I have anything against Oshiomhole on projects, but for the purpose of accountability, transparency, due process and good governance, I am of the opinion that the present administration in the state is guilty of laws of proper financial appropriation to projects against the backdrop of international best practices.
“There is no rationale behind the high unemployment in the state as a result of companies the government left moribund, the numerous basic schools that are below standard and abandoned against the governor building of a new university in his home town while others are left to rot and are in state of decay.
“In a couple of weeks from now, it is my believe that anti-graft agencies should begin by carrying out an investigation into the accounting books of the state government.”
“Since the present mantra of change is focused on fight against corruption, my interest to notify Mr. President, Mohammadu Buhari through a petition to order a thorough audit of Edo State financial transactions in the last seven years to exposed a whole lot of leakages of huge and reckless spending by the government on projects which in most cases have no direct impact on the people,” Igiebor intimated.
