Seyi Makinde Vows To Probe Ajimobi's Last Minute Contracts

The Governor-elect in Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde has vowed to review all contracts awarded by the Ajimobi's led administration from March 11, 2019.

This was disclosed in a press release signed on his behalf by Prince Dotun Oyelade. Engr. Makinde said that events of the past two weeks have shown characteristics of targeted contract awards that were compiled in haste and randomly awarded to empty government purse before the May 29th swearing-in date.

The statement stated that, while the government remains in place till May 28, awarding N30bn new set of contracts in one day as was the case during last Wednesday’s Executive meeting was curious and an aberration, especially when debts, as old as 2011 are left unpaid.

The Governor-elect pointed out that information from Civil Servants who have the interest of the state at heart suggested a grand plan to disrupt the smooth take-off of the In-coming administration by mopping up all available funds.

According to Makinde, in the new contracts of N30bn which fund is billed for disbursement on Monday, March 25, 2019, a large chunk of money was allocated as Consultancy fees and Design to outsiders even when the Ministry of Works and Housing has qualified engineers.

He went further by saying, though he had promised not to probe the outgoing administration but civil servants who connive in illegal and strange contract awards would have themselves to blame in the next few weeks.

Makinde specifically mentioned Permanent Secretaries and the office of the Accountant General as well as banks to be wary.

According to him, there are also plans to mischievously increase the wages of Tertiary Institutions staff for the next two months without actually paying them before May 29 thereby leaving the new administration to grapple with the burden.
