STATE OF ACCOUT: GROUP GIVES ODSG 21 DAYS ULTIMATUM









A group in Ondo state has called on both the present  and immediate  past Governors of the state  for immediate refund of differences in the  state fund or face the wrath of the people


In a release signed by the Chairman of BoT Dynamic Patriotic Citizens  Foundation  ( DPCF ) Tolu  Babaleye  called on the former Governor Mimiko who claimed to have left #20bilion  in the account of Ondo State government  and the  incumbent Governor, Arakunrin  Oluwarotumi Akeredolu who claimed he met  only #9Billion in the account  to exchange note and sort for the difference  in the account .



According  to the group, the differences  on the two balance sheets indicated that #11Billion of Ondo State money is lost in transit. This they lamented is  unacceptable to the good people of Ondo State in this era of paucity of funds , inability to pay workers salary and arrears and provision  of other social amenities .



DPCF in the release noted " Ondo State is not Mimiko Nigeria Limited, neither is it Akeredolu Nigeria PLC. It belongs to all  the good people of Ondo State. We have no other State to call ours. The same Accountant General and Auditor General that served the former is still serving the incumbent and as such, it is lugubrious that this is happening and adequate explanation is not being made. We wish to call on these two eminent sons of Ondo State to look for the missing money as this figure is too big to ignore,  write off or overlook ".



The Dynamic Patriotic Citizens Foundation informed  that the group has met and review this issue and after collating the aggregate views of the Citizens of Ondo State came to the conclusion that 21 days ultimatum be given to Ondo State Government to adequately address this issue to avoid civil disobedience in the State by way of taking positive legitimate steps to locate  the "said fund"  noting that the issue must be addressed once and for all.


While the group urge  the good People of Ondo State to continue to be law abiding and cooperate with the government in all their policies  and programmes  at moving the state forward, adding that the group will take all legitimate  means at fishing -out the balance fund in the account.
