Published

on

A gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of PDP in Oyo State, Engr Seyi Makinde has described the legacy left behind by the out -going government in the state as deliberately designed to frustrate the vulnerable ones in the society and punish the poor.
In a statement issued by the Seyi Makinde organisation and signed by Prince Dotun Oyelade, Makinde who was Speaking after being screened for the party’s governorship primary said that any candidate who believes he can ride on the back of Gov. Ajimobi’s achievements lacks the compassion and capacity to make a difference in the lives of the common man.
According to Makinde, it will take the next 18 years for a succeeding government to pay up the    157bn debt which this Administration has incurred in seven years.
Makinde said that Oyo state ranks 30 in the comity of the 36 states in Nigeria that cannot sustain itself because it has a monthly 10bn expenditure and a monthly revenue of 6bn  leaving a deficit level of 4bn.
The implication of this figure is that the state sinks into further debt every month to fulfill its recurrent responsibilities in spite of increase in Statutory Allocations of 34bn from oil revenues and VAT of 1.3bn.
Even if Gov Ajimobi turns a new leaf today and pay up all the outstanding debts owed the poor workers and pensioners, the damage has already been done.
According to the PDP aspirant, he has done his home work and with transparency and accountability which are currently lacking, and management of overheads, the situation can be reversed in two years.
According to Makinde, he is in the best position to turn around the fortunes of Oyo state because he is unblemished and has no God Father to mislead him to work against the interest of the massesSEYI MAKINDE QUERIES AJIMOBI ”s LEGACY…

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently arrested prominent businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, following allegations of fraudulent activities related to a multi-million-naira contract awarded to her company by a South-West state.

Achimugu, who serves as the Chairman of Bluewave Exploration and Production Limited, was detained last weekend after a civil society group filed a petition accusing her of involvement in dubious dealings concerning the contract. She was granted bail the following day but has been instructed to return for further questioning in the coming week.

Beyond her corporate endeavors, Achimugu is well-known in elite circles across Lagos and Abuja. Her social media presence showcases a lavish lifestyle, featuring exotic vacations, exclusive yacht parties, and private jet travels.

This arrest marks a significant challenge for Achimugu, whose business empire and social standing are now under intense public scrutiny. The EFCC’s investigation is ongoing, and the outcome may have far-reaching implications for her career and reputation.

A source hinted that Achimugu was asked by the commission to report back on the 30th of March,2025 for further questioning.

Not really bothered by the investigation, the billionaire days after her arrest launched a 30-day feeding Ramadan programme where she targets the less-privileged.
