Ondo governor Rotimi Akeredolu has dared the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to report him to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The bone of contention is the alleged N500 million spent on a concert tagged: ‘Countdown Show to Herald 2022’. The PDP also accused the governor or using personal companies to corner state funds.
Ondo PDP spokesperson Kennedy Peretei had alleged that N500 millon was spent on the concert anchored by the governor’s son in-law, Michael Olatunde.
But Akeredolu, in a statement by Information and Orientation Commissioner Donald Ojogo, challenged the PDP to show proof that he registered 13 companies in 2017.
He urged the opposition party to publish the names of directors of the companies as well as the names of the companies.
The statement said: “Their assertions in respect of 13 companies they claimed were registered by the governor’s family in 2017 without evidence expose the juvenile and pedestrian composure of the PDP. It is sheer waste of precious media space to assert without evidence to prove.
“On the alleged expenditure of N500,000,000 (Five Hundred Million Naira) by the Ministry of Information on the ‘Countdown Show to Herald 2022’, it’s not just laughable, but presents the PDP as most unserious.
