Abiodun Vows To Reverse Amosun’s Last Minute Contracts, Installation Of Obas
Ogun state governor-elect, Prince Dapo Abiodun has vowed to revoke all new contracts awarded by the Ibikunle Amosun led outgoing administration between March and May 28th this year.
Abiodun also vowed to reverse all appointments and installation of traditional rulers as well as review of employments of new entrants into the state’s workforce done by Amosun’s administration after the March 9 governorship election which gave him the victory.
This was contained in a statement issued Monday in Abeokuta by the Publicity Secretary of the Caretaker Committee of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Ambassador Tunde Oladunjoye.
Speaking against the background of the rumours that Amosun was planning to approach the World Bank for a US $350 Million in less than three weeks to the expiration of his administration, Ogun APC said it had earlier warned financial institutions across the country against honouring any loans, overdrafts and other financial instruments’ request from the outgoing government of Ibikunle Amosun.
He alleged that the outgoing Amosun led administration has also approved the employment of about 500 fresh workers into the state’s workforce from among those who sat and passed the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON) examination.
But Oladunjoye in the statement issued yesterday however, accused Amosun of making, “last-minute appointments and awarded contracts without due consideration to the incoming administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun notwithstanding APC’s earlier warning”.
He noted that it was, “morally unacceptable that a Governor with less than one month to the expiration of his term in office will make mass appointments and promotions, thereby committing the incoming administration to unsustainable financial commitments and obligations.
“We hereby alert the general public and to those it may concern that all appointments, installation of traditional rulers, contracts, commitments and obligations entered into during the transition period after the elections will be reviewed and may not be binding on the new administration”.
