The Osun chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) has challenged Mr Bola Oyebamiji to explain his role in the sale of Osun Living Trust Bank to a ponzi scheme as recently declared by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The ruling party, in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Council on Public Communications, demanded that Oyebamiji explain his role in the sale of Osun bank to a Ponzi scheme while he was the Commissioner of Finance in the state.
According to statement, “Before Mr Oyebamiji aka Amunbo should contest for Osun governorship, we dare him to explain his role in the corruption ridden sale of Osun bank to a ponzi scheme. He was the Commissioner of Finance who oversaw the sale.
“A major state asset was disposed of under criminal circumstances. On behalf of the Osun people, we demand explanations.
“We also ask Mr Oyebamiji why he disobeyed the directives of Owa Adimula by importing lorry loads of thugs who nearly destroyed the coronation programme. Has he tender apologies to Ijesa people and Owa Adimula for politicising the traditional event despite an open warning from the new monarch?
“The Osun APC attacked the new monarch when he was first announced. Some members of APC actually dragged the new monarch to court. It is shameful the Oyebamiji people stormed the palace with imported thugs from Lagos.
“We call on Mr Oyebamiji to answer these two questions while he should expect five more questions on his controversial stewardship as a Commissioner of Finance and as incumbent chief executive of Nigeria Inland Waterways Authority.”, the group declared.
