MIMIKO SPENT N70m TO HOST JONATHAN IN 30mins - Abayomi

…the N30Bn loan is uncalled for.

Months after the Presidential campaign visit to Ekiti and Ondo States more outstanding revelations are beginning to unfold about the financial implications of the visit as well as what transpired during the visit.

The renown  human rights activist and chieftain of the Action  Congress of Nigeria [ACN] Dr Tunji Abayomi has challenged the Dr Olusegun Mimiko led administration to explained why a whooping N70million was spent for hosting the President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan  for just thirty minutes at the airport.

The fiery activist, Dr Abayomi made these allegation among others while speaking wih Sunshine VOICE on the state of the nation during the penultimate weekend that the governor should explained while such a whopping amount was expended on mere half an hour protocol and why should millions of naira be spent on voter's registration.

 'The thirty minutes presidential visit cost Ondo State N70milion and  the voters registration which was also the federal government prerogatives also cot the stste hundreds of millions of the monies that as supposed to be used judiciously for common  development'. Abayomi queried.

He condemned in its entirety the spending habit of the present administration in Ondo State by saying that why development is still far from the state is because the administration lacks control of public fund and resources,'The governor is more or less a financial dictator who wears the garb of a democrat'

The Okeagbe Akoko born activist turned politician also points accusing finger to the state lawmakers for allowing themselves to be bought over by the governor.

He blamed the lawmakers by saying “the state house of assembly is a stooge in the hand of the governor, they are like commodity the governor has bought them with public money, since each of them pocketed about N10 million they have since given their approval to the governor without caution, to go and take a loan of N30billion,and they have  became very useless in terms of their responsibilities to the masses”.

"Up till today the governor has not given account to the people how he has been spending the public fund and how much he had so far pocketed from the federal allocation
