The Action Congress of Nigeria has accused the outgoing Ogun State Peoples Democratic Party government of Otunba Gbenga Daniel of the illegal auction of government vehicles.


In a statement signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Mr. Sola Lawal, the ACN accused the Daniel administration of issuing a directive for the sale of government vehicles to some government officials.


The statement made available to our correspondent on Sunday reads in part, “The unlawful machination would see each official car in government pool being sold for a paltry N300,000. Payments would be made into the government treasury.”


The party warned government officials to be wary of what it described as “the Greek gift”, adding that the in-coming administration of Senator Ibikunle Amosun might not honour such deals.


The party also condemned what it described as the mass recruitment of staff into the Ogun State civil service by the Daniel administration.


“Is this not the same government that has inflicted untold hardship on its workers, particularly through its epileptic attitude to payment of salaries and emoluments as well as refusal to remit the deductions made from teacher’s salaries into the cooperative fund? Is this not the same government that the doctors in its employment recently protested its insensitivity to their pitiable plight,” it queried.


But the state governor in its reaction chided the ACN and accused the party of playing politics of bitterness and propaganda.


Daniel, who reacted through his Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Sina Kawonise, appealed to the ACN to desist from the “politics of bitterness and propaganda,” which he stated, might divide the people.


He said, “Let it be on record that the on going recruitment into the public service is purely routine and the process was kick-started more than six months ago and was meant to fill existing vacancies.


“Therefore a process that actually began about six months ago and that has gone through the due process for the engagement of staff to fill existing vacancies cannot be described as last-minute gambit meant to destabilise the incoming administration.


“Again the sale of official cars to individuals who have used them in the past four years is in line with extant rules and the process is completely in tandem with what obtains in the private and public sector including governments at different levels and other states of the federation.”

How are you sure, you can just believe everything you read on papers, Nigerians can frame up anything just to draw attention to them selves.

and besides it is a national daily so they can say anything just to sell there words and papers to the public. a Governor of Gbenga status that has ruled ogun state for 8 years must have accomulated enough wealth for himself,

he cannot indulges in such debasing acts

Different issue how?

This should come as no surprise to anyone. Gbenga Daniel is a total desperado. He is , afterall, the Governor who instigated 9 lawmakers to impeach the 15 who stood in the way of the N100 billion retirement fund State bond OGD wanted to float.

Believe it people. OGD is known not only to be a selfish lunatic, but also a greedy pig.

All his moves for the past 6 months is only to cover his evil ways and corruption practice for the past 8 years. Something tells me that the dude may end up eating beans very, very soon. One of the scapegoats Goodluck will use to send his message to Nigeria: "this era will not be business as usual".
