Fashola Lambasts FG On Improper Account Of Oil Money by Franchise21(m): 12:48pm On Jan 12, 2015
Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola speaking at the
commissioning of the 8.5km Amedokhian-Ugboha Road in
Benin City, Edo State has lambasted the Federal Government
for improper management of the country's oil revenue
account. Fashola said: “We have a national government that
is unable to account for money from crude oil that they did
not extract. Foreigners are the ones extracting it for them.
The price is fixed internationally, the quantity is known, just
to add up and tally. They say it is $20 billion that is missing,
some say $10 billion. Should one dollar be missing in any
responsible government? So, that is why corruption and
accountability remain an issue in the next election.
“If a government at the state level that collects one over 96
percent, because what the state gets is what the 36 states
and Abuja share, nine percent of the total revenue. And they
can do this kind of road and all the red roofs that I have seen,
imagine what will happen if you have a president and vice
president that cares.”
On his part, Governor Oshiomhole stressed the need for the
people to vote for All Progressives Congress, APC, at all
levels as the PDP has failed to provide the basic facilities
needed by the people.
He said: “I need you to connect with this election. There are
no miracles in development. It is about planning, it is about
commitment and honesty. It is about judicious application of
resources. PDP’s only resolve is to steal. After 16 years of
PDP, Nigerians have no water, no light, they are still using
generators. In the name of privatization they handed over
electricity in Edo to their friends. They are collecting money
from you without providing light.
“The elections are around the corner and we must elect the
House of Assembly that will support the appropriation of
funds to continue with any of the jobs that we will not be able
to do .That is why the coming election is very important,” he
added.
