Edo State Governor: Adams Oshiomhole. |
Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomole has once again spoken out on
allegedly misappropriated funds by accusing theDepartment of Petroleum
Resources (DPR) of illegally
collecting N30 billion during the last administration.
Oshiomhole made the revelation on Wednesday, July 29, 2015, while
speaking at a seminar organized by the “In
today’s post mortem we want to know how much NIMASA has earned over the years
under president Goodluck Jonathan that was never transferred to the federation
account and where is the money and how much is it? We also want to know how
much NPA transferred to the federation account and if they did not how much do
they earn and where is the money?”Post-Mortem sub-committee of
the Federation Account Allocation
Committee(FAAC).
The governor said:
“Chairman,
you must compel the DPR to refund the money. Edo state will pursue its own
share of that money because we have not authorized the DPR to take it. And we
have the right to go to court if it is not done because for me I want to die
for something and not for nothing because I know I will die.”
“DPR’s budget as I
understand is about N4 billion annually and in one month illegally they have
deducted 4 per cent from certain accruals from royalties among others amounting
to over N2 billion. If your annual budget is about N4 billion and you collect
over N2 billion in one month which means in a year you are going to collect
close to between N24 and N30 billion where your total expenditure is not more
than N4 billion
“This is
not only illegal, it is unjust and not acceptable in a decent society. We
cannot all keep quiet even in the face of everyone abusing power. We drive round
the country we see a lot of our able young men.”
