The Mindboggling Corruption In The Oshionmhole Administration


===================================
Just like Fashola - Adams Oshionmhole would be remembered for presiding over a regime of financial impunity, profligacy, bogus and over-inflated contracts and criminally-bizarre contracts awards.




It is on record that the Oshionmhole administration has enjoyed the highest revenue ever in the history of Edo State.




In the last 8 years, the administration has received over N1trillion naira in the form of Federal allocations and IGR. This amount is in sharp contrast with the total sum of N197 billion that the state received in the entire 8 year period of the notorious sticky-finger, Lucky Igbinedion. And tragically, there is absolutely nothing to show for it.




Oshionmhole’s stint as governor has been fraught with most questionable fiscal expenditures and strange contract figures.
Some classic instances.



He set off on his administration by installing a water fountain at King Square, Ring Road in Benin City. The project cost the Edo state tax payers a whopping sum of N386 million!



And here is what makes the episode even more painful: the fountain barely worked.


In the 2015 budget, N150million was voted for the maintenance of this fountain. The fountain still didn’t work.

Curiously, in the 2016 budget, another N100million was also voted for its maintenance.
At the end of his administration, over N636million would have been spent on a meaningless fountain. And to what benefit?




And then, there is the contract for the expansion of Airport road, Benin-city.




Airport road is a 6.7km road in the heart of Benin-city. It is a road that has long existed. It is not a new road. It was expanded at an atrocious cost of N17billion. Mind you – no bridge was constructed along that road.



Now, here is a bit of comparison. The Benin-by-pass is a 46km road. It has four (4) bridges, six (6) flyovers. It was built in a virgin forest. It was built by the PDP administration with just N10 billion.



Some other projects executed at very questionable costs by the Oshionmhole administration include:



N950 million for the beautification of the popular “Five Junction” near TV road in Benin-city. (that is N50 million shy of N1billion).



N600 million for the installation of street light from “Third Junction” on Sapele road to “Country Home” road junction.




N400million for the rehabilitation of Ekenwan road.



N70million to organize a Beauty Pageant - an event that is of no economic value to the State and that its sponsorship should have been outsourced to the private sector.




$225m World Bank loan that was purportedly spent on ICT consultancy and Website design.



N3.5 million and N4.5 million per trip for chartered domestic flights to Iyamho, Abuja, Lagos and Benin even in the face of dwindling revenue from the federation account.




N4 million regular largesse given to his close aides in the guise of medical treatment fees.




N11 million naira as the cost of each room of the hostels in Edo State University in Oshinmhole’s home town of Iyamho.




N3 billion naira on school furniture that were never delivered to schools.




Political appointees from who hail from the home town of Oshionmhole earn twice what their other colleagues receive in what has become known as "Iyamho allowance”.



N3.5 billion in the 2016 budget in the never-ending allocation of monies for the construction of the Accident and Emergency Ward unit at the Benin Central Hospital. Note that there had been previous allocations for this same project in the 2014 and 2015 budget.


And so on.



Now, Afrinvest is a company owned by the APC Governorship candidate, Godwin Obaseki. Obaseki collects 5% for facilitating the N25billion Benin City water storm loan from the capital market.



Note that 5% of N25billion is N1.25 billion. This unhealthy arrangement is similar to the relationship between Alpha Beta Consulting (ABC) and the Lagos state government.

Hundreds of other companies that would have gladly done it for far less amount. Why wasn’t this contract better negotiated on behalf of the tax-paying people of Edo state?



In the 2016 Edo state budget, N10.65 billion was voted for the purpose of the welfare of Oshionmhole and his family.


That is 9.6% of the 2016 Edo State total budget of N111.50 billion.



That amount is what would be lavished on the First family of Edo state in a single year – a family that also enjoys N500million monthly security votes.



What a very high-maintenance family!
Or has Mary Kay become that expensive?



Meanwhile, key sectors like Water resources and agriculture were voted a meager N100 million and N300 million respectively in the same budget.



And painfully, not a single rural electrification project was embarked on in the entire eight ( years of the Oshionhmole administration.




Now, on the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, here is my personal and unsentimental opinion and prediction.

Oshionmhole’s stooge is most likely to emerge the next governor.. Because someone is going through the most elaborate length to ensure that.
There are already signs to that effect.



The mind-boggling amount of APC campaign materials - billboard banners, posters, jingles, etc - that has inundated every nook and cranny of Edo state is simply unprecedented.



Indeed, someone is desperate.



With the way things are going, and with the postponement of election, the Edo people will have their say, but Oshionmhole will have his way.
