Human rights activist, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, has submitted a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, detailing allegations of financial recklessness and corruption against Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola.
Odumakin, who is an indigene of Osun State, submitted the petition on behalf of a group, Osun Stakeholders, on Monday.
In the petition titled, “Petition against Governor Rauf Aregbesola for financial recklessness, corruption, money laundering and fraudulent application of Osun State’s resources,” Odumakin alleged that Aregbesola has sunk the state into abject poverty.
While calling for a forensic audit of the Osun State government accounts, the group noted that the petition was part of the resolution reached at its stakeholders’ summit on Osun State held on July 23, 2015.
He said, “In addition, the state is littered with abandoned projects even though loans were secured by this administration to execute them. Today, our dear state has become the embodiment of lack, poverty, purposelessness, wickedness and insensitivity of political leaders of the highest order in the country.”
