The Chairman of Oyo State Peoples Democratic Party, Alh Kunmi Mustapha, has described the reactions of Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the voluntary declaration of assets by Governor Seyi Makinde at Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, as reckless, unpatriotic, uncivilized and a wicked approach to discourage men of goodwill from partaking in politics.
OYO INSIGHT recalls that Oke had questioned Makinde’s over N48 billion assets Declaration.
But in a statement made available to newsmen by Mustapha through the party’s publicity secretary, Engr Akeem Olatunji, he frowned at what it described as the sycophantic nature of his counterpart in Oyo APC, Chief Akin Oke, saying that he expected him to ask questions from his party’s candidate in the last election, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, on how he sourced for alleged several billions of naira he spent lavishly on gubernatorial campaign as well as hundreds of vehicles he purchased to move political thugs around.
According to Mustapha, “if a government worker like Adelabu could spend lavishly without blinking and EFCC is looking the other way, then how much more a businessman with chains of businesses in almost 4 continents of the World?Mathematically, a man who pays N1.5 billion in tax should be in a position to have more than N48 billion declared and here’s a man who believes private citizens must pay tax for government to have enough to take care of the less privileged in the society.
“According to the available information, Makon Group, a company wholly owned by Governor Seyi Makinde built Utorogu NAG 2 Plant a 150 MMSCfd plant which increased the capacity of the Utorogu gas hub from 360 MMscfd to circa 510MMscfd that addressed the supply shortfalls in the Escravos Lagos Pipeline System and West African Gas Pipeline (ELPS/WAGP) market.
“The project can generate up to 600MW of electricity which is around 17% of Nigeria national generation capacity for electricity.
“That GSM declared N48 billion is even an understatement, he works hard and earns fat pay from his chain of businesses across the globe.
“If Russia can be proud of
Abrahamovic, Nigerians and most especially Oyo State citizens should be proud of Makinde who has come to serve selflessly despite his stupendous riches,” the statement added.
