...Stop the N100bn Mimiko dangerous loan- Abayomi raises alarm

Coalition of over 25 Youths under the aegis of Democracy Fighters for Good Governance [DFFGG] affiliated to The Grasroots Mobilisers for the Action Congress of Nigeria Party [ACN] Ondo State has vowed that nothing will stop them from dragging the state governor, Dr.Olusegun Mimiko before the Economic  and Financial Crimes  Commission [ EFCC]  over financial recklessness and profligacy.

The Coordinator of the group, Comrade Dada Olawale Eminence warned that if Gov.Mimiko and his cabinet members dont stop the frivolous   spending of the  state resources and allocation profligately on Irrational celebrations saying they will be left with  no other option than to drag him before EFCC.

Comr’d Eminence  challenged Dr Mimiko as the state governor to publish without delay the statement of the state account since the inception of his administration.

On behalf of the masses of  Ondo State,Comrd Eminence gave the Mimiko led administration in the state a one week ultimatum to make public the statement of account of the state while warning that failure to meet these demands The Grassroots Mobiliser will live by its name by calling for a mass action against the government of Labour Party [LP].

The articulate youth leader gave the warning during the week while speaking at  the June 12 Anniversary Programme  held at the ACN party secretariat at Akure, the Ondo State capital that  Ondo State Youths have been having sleepless night over the wasteful manner in which the state government is spending the state resources.

“We have an in depth and exhaustive list of massive looting by Governor Mimiko’s cronies and political compatriots which we may publish soonest with pictorial and documentary evidences of all their looting” Eminence boasted

The youth leader pointed to the Governor spending illegally and on celebration that was uncalled for saying that Ondo State is a state that has been endowed with humanitarian resources in which the total citizens of the state needs to be enjoying till eternity but due to official recklessness and the ineptitude of the political office holders made 70% of the general population to wallowing in penury in a state that is ranked sixth among the Oil Producing states.

Comrd Eminence also said that the profligacy spending of Dr Mimiko and his political associate since their assumption into office on Feb,2009  spent over N568 million to celebrate their one year in office flying in his friends, colleagues, and hanger-on’s from all over the globe at the expense of the state. 

 The Youth leader also noted that if this celebration should persist for all the four years on yearly basis it would gulp the sum of N2.2billion, which worth’s  more than the budgeted allocation for some states for 2months.

He condemned the present government for engaging frivolous spending leaving the immediate needs of the people saying ‘that successful public administrator like Governor Fashola of Lagos does not need to spend  N568million on propaganda before Awori and the Egun masses of Lagos before the whole world will know he is doing excellently well.

The Youth leader revealed that “having considered this profligacy spending, we have concluded our plan to petition EFCC and approach the court of Law to stop further plundering of the state funds by the present administration.

“We require Mr. Governor to please publicize our allocation so far received from February 2009 to May 2011 and  how the N38billion inherited from Gov.Olusegun Agagu’s administration in the coffers of the state was spent.

Eminence concluded that it is criminal for the present government in Ondo State to have denied the people their right to know the state of account of the state, quoting  Section 125 of the amended 1999 Constitution  that, the Accountant General of the state should at least on yearly basis publish and submit the annual report, statement of account, financial statement to the House of Assembly, which is supposed to be audited for credibility and truth for debate, if that has been done, by now all these profligacy’s  would have been clearly identified”

The June 12 event attracted youths across the state and from the neighbouring states had Dr.Olu Agunloye as the Special Guest of Honour ,and Hon Otito Atikase as the Guest Speaker among others. 

In a related development  the Okeagbe born fiery lawyer and the leader of ACN in Ondo State, Dr.Tunji Abayomi has raised alarm over a N100 billion secret loan by Gov.Mimiko

Dr Abayomi said “again I am compelled to raise an alarm about future danger of our state finances, which a few weeks ago I drew the attention of the people of Ondo state to a secret loan of N30 billion authorized by the House of Assembly in a secret money deal.”

The House of Assembly, Abayomi said abdicated its duty to protect the financial interest of the people by not demanding for annual statement of public accounts of Ondo State as well as audited account before granting authority for a pernicious loan.

This was contained in a released signed by Dr Abayomi which was made available to Sunshine VOICE Weekly at Akure that the house chose to become Mimiko’s House, instead of Ondo State’s House.

He said Ondo state is gradually witnessing a realm in which the people have no influence and no rights over the democratic resource which government should be is gradually giving way for oppressive imposition by a pitiless government order, that disdains proper means or legitimate ends.

“The alert at the immediate urgent present moment is the new desire of Governor Mimiko to increase the N30 billion illegal loan to N100 billion. This new financial intake of N100 billion loan will certainly burst the financial health of Ondo state because her freedom will be imperiled by the gripping debt for a very long time”.

Abayomi also noted that Ondo State Government [ODSG] has become a desperate money merchant to solve many development problems it created out of utter failure  though saying ‘at least 7 major roads remain less than 30% completed over two years after the government came to power. It is estimated that Governor Mimiko’s “Dome” which has now been abandoned has consumed about N2 billion of public money’.

“The health sector in spite of international agency support is pregnant with undeliverable pain, the University is on angry strike, while the minimum wage of N18,000 remains unpaid by a government that was happy to spend over N1 billion to celebrate its first and second year anniversaries as Poverty prevails everywhere!”

He called on the people to resist the government from what he termed as dangerous loan that ‘it is now clear that to save the state from terrible financial trauma, the N30 billion loan need to be resisted.

“The N100 billion loan now desperately desired by the Mimiko government need to be stopped by the people of Ondo State, the only true guardian of their financial liberty. Mimiko’s Government must stop the dangerous loans’’

“The price of our liberty has, with urgent force, become eternal vigilance against the Mimiko government. Ondo States people be vigilant! Stand up to protect today and guarantee tomorrow” Abayomi concluded.

MIMIKO SECOND TERM AGENDA TEARS CABINET APART

2^ND TERM AGENDA TEARS MIMIKOCABINET APART

… Commissioners, Super SA’s, Political  appointees  sidetrack

That some selected indigenes of Ondo State are already clamoring for Dr Olusegun Mimiko, the governor of Ondo state to take a shot at the governorship slot come 2013 is no more news.But the disaffection this is already creating among some so called Super Appointees, Commissioners and Labour Party [LP] Leaders who are already complaining about been side track by the new political arrangement.

Sunshine authoritatively gathered that many of the so called untouchable appointees and some members of the kitchen cabinet were already grumbling to have been sideline and left in the cold as they were already grumbling  for not been carried along in  the latest political show.

Some of the appointees who were often refers to in government quarters as ‘Super Appointees [S.As]  were heard murmuring in whispering voice that  because some of them complained that it is still too early for the Gov. Mimiko to be  toying  with the second term agenda.

They also complained that the governor have not even open up to them on why he wanted to go for second term as it wasn’t part of their decision when they were in trenches.

Some of the Super SA’s were reported to have berated the promoters of te 2^nd Term Agenda to have not consulted with them which made some of them to reject the invitation to join the plartform.

An eye witness account told Sunshie VOICE that oe of the commissioners from the Central torn the invitation letter sent to him by the Iroko Platform saying the people can not invite him because he senior them in politics.

“Where are these people when we started the struggle for the emergence of Iroko and they now think the are smart to be talking about second term what have we done to make them believe the people will allow break the second term jinx as this may eventually be our albatross I the administration”

 The party leaders on their own party were jittery about the new arrangement, as the Iroko for second term is structure  in a way that  natural sidelined their existent.

All the political structures created to promote the second term of Iroko are already fill with all levels of executives, while the LP executives from state to ward level are left uninvolved in the cause.

This new political development in Ondo State could be likened  the era of Abacha whenthe Daniel Kanu led YEAA were canvassing for Abacha must  stay, as the governor, Dr.Mimiko is yet to make any categorical statement on the issue but political watchers are saying the man was only waiting for the right time to drop the bombshell.

The governor had on several occasion publicly denounced the issue of second term that he is waiting for God direction on second term but the spokesperson of the Iroko Platform has declared that they have gone ahead of Dr Mimiko to seek God intervention on the cause.

Though, the Iroko 2^nd coming is gradually getting attention while the grumbling continued in  every quarter but promoters have continued their business without bordering about the ranting and grumblings of the governor political associates.

One of the most vocal personality at the vanguard for the advocacy of Dr Mimiko second term is Chief Sanya Oyinsan  a  highly respected political appointee in Mimiko’s government  and notable media guru in Ondo State  is the Coordinators of the Iroko Plartform [IR]

The inclination of  Pa Oyinsan as he’s been refers to in media circles as one of those promoting the second term has given strong credibility to the  agitation for Dr. Mimiko to run in 2013.

Pa Oyinsan who is currently the Chairman of the OSRC board  said in one of his recent interview that since the governor has always been procrastinating saying he will take it to God in prayer.

“We have decide to have gone ahead of him to take it to God and God has answered us and we have been divinely ordered to tell the governor that his prayers has been answered now the whole world are waiting to see how the Ise-Takutakun governor will break the jinx of doing second term in Ondo State politics because no governor ever make second term” Pa Oyinsan

concluded.

It would be recalled that in one of Dr Tunji Abayomi’s interview he recalled the antecedent of Dr.Mimiko as an unrepentant advocate of one governor one term that gave him the sympathy why the people of Ondo State voted massively for him in 2007.

Abayomi said the political event that led to his emergence were as a result of his past and consistent struggle to affirm political zoning, so it is very unfair, totally unacceptable, wicked and immoral for anybody to now start canvassing for Mimiko’s second term”

He point out to the fact that “these same Dr Mimiko fought relentlessly to stop Chief Adefarati second term  and did the same for Agagu 2007 for that same man to now tell the people that he want second term will be very difficult”

The whole world is watching as second term agenda continues to polarize the Mimiko’s administration in Ondo State. 

MIMIKO SPENT N70m TO HOST JONATHAN IN 30mins-Abayomi

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
