Knowing too well that politics is a do or die afire, Mr Ayo Fayose continued his verbal onslaught against former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Monday, as he demanded the immediate return of his N10 million donation to his library project with interest. Fayose, who described the library project as one of the greatest fraud ever, said the 30 governors under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) were compelled to donate N10m each in 2005 to the multibillion naira project. The was just as the PDP Southwest caucus passed a confidence vote in the leadership of the Ahmed Makarfi-led caretaker committee, branding the Ali Modu Sheriff group as mere usurpers of the party’s structure. Speaking in Ado Ekiti on yesterday at the opening session of the PDP Southwest stakeholders’ meeting, advised former President Obasanjo to stop seeing himself as a saint. Fayose, who visibly expressed his anger against some leaders of the party for refusing to speak up against political persecution of members of the party by the All Progressive Congress led Federal government, said they should not be afraid to speak against tyranny and any form of oppression. Urging members to remain bold and undaunted in the face of perceived intimidation by gents of the All Progressives Congress(APC) , Fayose predicted that God will soon move against those that are oppressing the PDP members in the country by declaring their seats vacant. Present at the meeting are: Host governor, Mr. Fayose, his deputy, Dr Kolapo Olusola, former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Gbenga Daniels, Senator Iyiola Omisore, former PDP Deputy Chairman, Chief Bode George, former PDP National Vice Chairman, Mr Tajudeen Oladipo, PDP Spokesperson, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, a member of the House of Representative from Ogun, Hon Oladipupo Adebutu, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, Prof Olu Agbi.

Kosy79: My dear, donation at free will is different from donation with a fixed amount. It means "you must". I believe you know the word must is no longer free  |

Donations of Controversy By Phillip Oladunjoye Monday, May 23, 2005 The fund-raising event in Abeokuta May 14 where over N6 billion was realised towards Obasanjo's presidential library has been widely condemned as public extortion The launching of the N7 billion Olusegun Obasanjo presidential library, OOPL, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, May 14, has continued to generate many questions. About N6 billion was raised from private donors including the multinational oil companies which contributed $20 million, about N2 billion and 36 state governors donating N10 million each while Ogun State alone donated N100 million and the organised private sector doling out the larger share of the fund. Wole Soyinka, Nobel Laureate described it as executive extortion. The criticism against the launching was not targeted at the project which was believed to be a laudable vision by the president, but the ways in which the fund were donated showed that the donors had no option than to dance to the demand of the president. Many Nigerians have wondered if it was not against the tide of the anti-corruption crusade of the federal government for state governors to dip hands into the treasury of the state and donate public funds to a private project. Wole Soyinka, professor and Nobel laureate, said the fund -raiser contradicted the president's anti-corruption crusade. Newswatch gathered that many of those who donated has to do so to avoid witch-hunting by the powers that be. The donation was likened by some to the power play between the police who always extort money from motorist. The motorist, it is believed would give out the mandatory N20 to avoid any trouble with the police. ....................................................................................................... newswatchng.com , May 23, 2005 |
