Kwara Must Change urges EFCC to begin fresh prosecution of Bukola Saraki and others over looting of N15Billion and $13million
–
Loading ...Kwara Must Change and the entire people of Kwara State were awakened
once again on Monday 19th February 2018 to the most shocking report of
how over N15 Billion and $13 million belonging to the Kwara State
people was looted by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki through 88
lodgement of N80 million by aides and other yet to be identified
persons into the personal bank account of the former Kwara State
Governor.
In the report by Sahara reporter, it was stated that Nigeria’s
anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
told a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State, how aides and other
yet to be identified persons lodged cash and other monetary
instruments totaling N15 billion and $13 million into the personal
account of Senate President Bukola Saraki when he was governor of
Kwara State. The agency said the peak of the suspicious lodgments was
on October 26, 2009, when 88 different persons lodged the sum of N80
million into the account of the Senate President.
Kwara Must Change is not in anyway surprised about this development
because we know the extent of looting that took place during the
administration of Senator Bukola Saraki while serving as Kwara State
governor and the kind of looting still taking place now under Governor
Abdulfatai Ahmed.
This is why we have alerted the nation long ago that irrespective of
how mind blowing a looting exposition about Bukola Saraki is, what you
have been seen or heard is still nothing compared to what is yet to be
exposed and the damage done to Kwara State is far and beyond public
imagination.
Kwara Must Change state with all sense of conviction that more
revelations will emerge about the looting of Kwara patrimony and we
urge all kwarans not only to express dissatisfaction with the
culprits, but act to prevent future re-occurrence of such, by
punishing all those involve in this criminality.
We urge the anti graft agency to kindly proceed with its investigation
to uncover more facts about the matter. As a matter of necessity, we
urge EFCC to begin a fresh prosecution of Senator Bukola Saraki over
this new revelation and ensure justice.
We commend EFCC’s effort in trying to help Kwara State retrieve its
stolen wealth and assure them of the support of all good people of
Kwara.
As we approach the 2019 election, we remind the people that this is
another opportunity to get it right. Looters and those who deprive
people of their means of livelihood should not be allowed to continue
to be in charge.
