Just as our ever-great party, the Ogun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has always believed, the outburst of the Ijebu East Local Government Chief Executive, a prominent player, a major stakeholder from the government circle has vindicated our party's position, yet again on the deliberate clampdown on local administration since the controversial inception of APC government in Ogun State.

By now, we expect democratic institutions; the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission 𝗜𝗖𝗣𝗖, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, 𝗘𝗙𝗖𝗖, the Department of State Security, 𝗗𝗦𝗦 and most importantly, the Ogun State House of Assembly, 𝗢𝗚𝗛𝗔 to swing into action by 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡-𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙇𝙂 𝙞𝙣 𝙊𝙜𝙪𝙣 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚.

If necessary steps are not taken, it is correct to hold that the much talked about N5 billion, ecological funds and other palliative disbursed to various States to cushion the excruciating pains of the current economic hardship as being packaged by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, would follow the same course of criminal looting. Again, the likes of Dapo Abiodun should not be trusted with money! 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙮.  

While we are extremely disturbed that Local Government administration which used to be a major hallmark of the era of the State's full glory between 2003 and 2011, it has now become a complete shadow of its old self; where a thieving Chief Executive presides over raping of his people. It is a sad reality to hear and see that since the last charade called the Local Government election in 2021, it has been ZERO Federal Allocation to each Local Government. And those who should know like the same Babalawo, Chief Osoba and of course, the State parliament remained silent? The 10% of the State’s Internally Generated Revenue, which the Constitution also stipulated should go to the Local Governments has not been given since Abiodun got into office. Yet, everyone, except us kept quiet! 

 

It is now clear to every citizen of the State why anti-democratic elements such as Mr. Abiodun, in accord with the leadership of the Ogun State House of Assembly and indeed, the leadership of the APC are vehemently against Local Government autonomy which the good people of the State maximally enjoyed between 2003 and 2011 of PDP, before the arrival of these rampaging vultures. 

In conclusion, we make bold to challenge all relevant stakeholders in Ogun State to continue to call on the State House of Assembly to do its job. We also urge the security agencies,  particularly the Police and the DSS to conduct a thorough investigation on Local administration in Ogun State. It is not only harmless voices that are courageous enough to ask questions that must be bullied into silence.

Dapo Abiodun's watery press release has no bearing on the criminal allegation of Local Government stolen funds.
