[size=18pt] Why we withdrew cars from LG bosses’ wives[/size] — Osun speaker By Tunde Odesola, Osogbo Published: Wednesday, 20 May 2009 The quest for accountability and probity in the utilisation of public resources was the reason the Osun State House of Assembly ordered the withdrawal of 30 brand new cars from the wives of local government chairmen in the state. This was disclosed by the Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, Chief Adejare Bello, in a statement by the Press Secretary, Mr. Olumide Ajayi, on Tuesday in Osogbo. The House on Monday gave a seven-day ultimatum to the wives of the chairmen to return the vehicles worth N105m. At a plenary, the lawmakers ordered the transfer of the Brilliance brand of cars worth N3.5m each to the women development units of each of the 30 local government councils in the state. Each of the cars has an official driver attached to it for the council chairmen’s wives. The House last week said it was wrong of the women to have official cars and drivers without holding elective posts. Each member of the House of Assembly has a Brilliance car as official vehicle and an official driver. Bello, who presided over the plenary, maintained that the House would not lose focus of its oversight functions, which included ensuring judicial spending of money from public treasury. The motion for the withdrawal of the vehicles was moved by Mr. Diran Ayanbeku, a member of Peoples Democratic Party, who represents Ife-South. A member of the Action Congress, Mr. Adegboye Akintunde, who represents Osogbo, seconded the motion. Directing that “Women Development Union” should be written on the vehicles, the House said the vehicles should be used by the WDUs in the local government councils. The Chairman, Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, Osun State, Alhaji Teslim Igbalaye, who appeared before the House last week, affirmed that the vehicles were brought for the WDUs. Igbalaye, who is the Chairman, Osogbo Local Government Council, absolved the ALGON of blame in the alleged conversion of the vehicles to personal use. http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art20090520055170 Comments: |

So what is going to happen to the withdrawn Cars, are they just going to transfer it to another department? They need to be sold, and money returned to the state. |

What do they really need the cars for?Are they in anyway connecting with rural people and projects in form of (better life for rural people)?a scam that was set by maryan babangiga that never really help anybody,even with all the enormous amount of money pumped into it. Maryan,the wife of the evil dollard,IBB,who is one of the great plagues of nigeria,like OBJ,ibori,aneni and co Nigeria as a concept is really a child's play,people just do what they like,no rules.It is like a mad setup,melancholy. |

This is a good move. However, i hope the rides will be used for other official uses and not just disappear somehow. Cos if a whole vessel can disappear without a trace, what is a car? |
Re: Why We Withdrew Cars From Lg Bosses’ Wives by AjaraEwuro: 8:03pm On May 20, 2009 |
This is now stale news. |

Fhemmmy: Any thing is "official use" to govt officials, even when they're using official cars as taxi, they will still claim official use. Imao! |
