Former Edo state governor, Lucky Igbinedion has replied Governor Adams
Oshiomole who a few days ago accused him, and his billionaire father,
Gabriel Igbinedion of converting state properties to their family use
while he, Lucky, was governor of the state.
In a statement released and signed himself yesterday November 14th,
Igbinedion said Oshiomole is the biggest thief in Edo state as of today.
He refuted allegations of corruption, stating that documents pertaining
to his tenure as governor of the state were open for public scrutiny.
He said Oshiomole should explain to residents of the state what he has
done with trillions of federal and state allocations he has collected
over the years ...
"I have made it very clear time without numbers that the files of my
tenure are there for everybody who cares to ask to check. I do not
intend to dignify Adams Oshiomhole any longer by joining issue with him.
He should explain to the people of Edo State how he spent the federal
allocations and internal generated revenues running into trillions naira
in seven years. He should tell the people of Edo how much he is paying
as land tax for his house in Iyamho worth over N10bn and other
properties he has acquired in the last seven years in Dubai, Cape Town
in South Africa, in San Francisco, United States of America, a high rise
apartment in Atlanta also in America and in London. He is calling
everybody a thief but Oshiomhole is the biggest thief in Benin City
today. Oshiomhole has failed; the people of Edo State now know him
better. Oshiomhole is the least qualified person to talk about
corruption in the country today because his actions and programmes in
the last seven years in Edo State epitomise corruption. He has called
everybody in Nigeria a thief; has called former President Olusegun
Obasanjo a thief; called former President Goodluck Jonathan a thief, he
called (ex-Minister of Finance, Ngozi) Okojo-Iweala a thief, and others.
Yet, he cannot prove his cases. I don’t think he knows the meaning of a
thief. He lives in the glass house and throwing stones. President
Muhammadu Buhari will soon find out the real Oshiomhole by the time we
provide documents against him"the statement read
