The Lagos PDP has called on the EFCC to probe the activities of Gov. Fashola’s administration for what it described as “massive corruption”. This was made known by the PDP Chairman in the State, Tunji Shelle.
He accused Fashola’s administration of massive misappropriation of public funds which it has been trying to hide by gagging its officials. He challenged the governor to give details of the projects hos government his handling to give room for verification and public evaluation.
Shelle demanded that Fashola explain the utilisation of the over N23bn realised by the state Security Trust Fund.
He said, “Recently, the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, talked about plans by House committees to begin the probe of ministries in the state. “This move, we learnt, has been vehemently opposed by Fashola and the leadership of the Action Congress of Nigeria.”
“What Fashola, a so-called progressive governor, has done is to warn his commissioners never to speak to the media on the state projects as well as activities in their ministries.”
“Recently, Chairman of Ejigbo Local Council Development Area, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan, was kidnapped. There has been many kidnappings recently of foreigners and these incidents were kept away from the public by the state. We are worried that the continued silence of the state government has become very dangerous and is unfair to the entire people of Lagos.
