N7.9bn Bailout Funds: Oyo APC Jittery Over Gov. Makinde’s Plans To Set Up Anti-Graft Agency, Says PDP
The Oyo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to keep its unsolicited advice to itself over use of supposed N7.9 billion bailout funds, saying that the party was just jittery over Governor Seyi Makinde plans to set up an anti-corruption agency in the state.
The PDP said that unsolicited advice to the ruling party in Oyo State, especially on the purchase of vehicles for judges and management of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, Ogbomoso were just signs that the PDP was jittery over the moves to establish the anti-graft agency.
A statement signed by PDP’s Publicity Secretary in Oyo state, Engineer Akeem Olatunji made available to BIGPEN Online on Wednesday, however, accused the APC of merely seeking to distract the new government in the state through unwarranted claims.
According to Olatunji, the comments by the APC on the said bailout fund only show that the opposition party was saddened that its government did not get the opportunity to mismanage the bailout fund.
“Rather than gallivant about on the streets proffering unwanted advice to the government of Engineer Seyi Makinde, the APC should bury its head in shame for the unmitigated mismanagement its government foisted on the people of Oyo State in the last eight years.
“Let us restate here that the government of Engineer Seyi Makinde has sold itself to probity and accountability. It is not a decision forced on us by anyone. And in that regard, every kobo that accrues to the state will be judiciously used.
“We believe that some members of the APC are already getting jittery on realising that the PDP government is about to establish an anti-corruption commission in the state. It is clear that the hint of the incoming anti-corruption agency is making some persons in that party to commit unforced errors.”
The statement also enjoined the opposition in the state to allow the new government settle in and face the task of rebuilding the state which was practically crippled under the watch of the APC.
