Gov Lucky Aiyedatiwa
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Ondo State has accused the governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa of fleecing the state’s resources by allocating the sum of N5 billion for the renovation and purchase of accessories for daycares.
While disclosing that there is an ulterior motive with the huge amount budgeted for the project, the opposition party stated that the ruling party had begun moves to mop up funds to prosecute the forthcoming governorship election.
In a statement issued by the Publicity Secretary, Kennedy Peretei, the party insisted that all those involved in the alleged fraud must be fished out.
“What is regrettable about a document that went through several layers of screening and vetting before being forwarded to the Ondo State House of Assembly?
“At the Assembly, the House Committee on Appropriation invites government officials who take turns to defend the same budget. Is it the case that nobody spotted these regrettable errors?
“It was the plan of the Aiyedatiwa government to swindle the people through the daycare renovation project that was thwarted by the eagle-eyed media.
Our party will not fold its hand and watch the APC and Aiyedatiwa fleece our meagre resources just for the political aspiration of one man, no matter how highly placed.”
