The former lawmaker has said that the appointees are converting public assets into private source, illegal awards of licences and incurring of superfluous loans and expenditure.

The statement read, “We have it on good authority that Osun state assets within the state, Kogi, Lagos, Abuja and outside the country are being tampered with for private acquisition.

“Emerging reports also indicate several shady conducts ongoing within the state finance ministry aside N17 billion loan allegedly taken by the Governor to prosecute the lost election, we are inundated with credible reports of emergency contract awards, hurried processing of payments vouchers and a grand agenda to incure further debt under the guise of project implementation. There is an elaborate plot to further bankrupt the state to complicate governance under the new administration,” he said.
