N4.3bn Secret Savings: Investigate Akeredolu, Ondo PDP Tells EFCC

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state has asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate Ondo state government over its lack of disclosure on the alleged N4.3b discovered to have been kept in a Zenith bank account and to which the present commissioner for information claimed to have also been spent.

Ondo PDP alleged that the Akeredolu-led government  is being economical with the truth and has violated the law with its intentions not to disclose the receipt of such funds until it was recently probed by the Ondo state house of assembly.

The PDP described as worrisome the decision of the Ondo state government never  to  disclose the said funds before now only to say it was  part of the funds handed over to it as part of the assets inherited.

In a release made available to newsmen, director media and publicity of the party in Ondo state, Zadok Akintoye Says residents deserve to know how this fund was accounted for or captured in the records of government.

What was the initial amount deposited into that call account on behalf of the state government, who was in charge of managing the account on behalf of the state government and why was there no disclosure of the account made until state house of assembly enquiry.?
