BREAKING: “Where is the Billions?” – Mudashiru Obasa reacts to Corruption Allegations
May 21, 2020
Speaker of the Lagos state House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has finally reacted to several allegations of corruption levelled against him.
It will be recalled that in recent weeks, Obasa has been on the receiving end of severe criticism ever since reports of embezzlement, fraud and inflation of contracts allegedly committed by him since he took office as Speaker emerged.
Reacting to the reports officially for the first time, Obasa in an Instagram live chat with Ovation Magazine Publisher and Media mogul, Dele Momodu, denied the reports adding that he has never been involved in any criminal act since becoming the speaker.
POLITICS NIGERIA monitored the interview and below are excerpts;
Dele Momodu: “There are all kinds of allegations against you that you are just spending billions and spending money like rainwater. What is it about this?”
Obasa : “Bob-Dee! I’m very happy about this question. I said it that when we started, I was the Chairman. House Committee on Rural, I thank God, Dr, Kasali who was the commissioner is still alive, Akhabueze who was the commissioner for economic planning is still so much alive, Fashola who was the Governor followed by Ambode are alive, call any of them any day, those people I mentioned cannot link anything to me that Obasa did this or that, I’m saying this openly so people can hear and these people are probably watching. If Obasa spends money, what is the purpose of money? Is it not to spend? But the question “How do you spend this money?”, “Do you have budgetary provisions for the money you have expended?”. Yes, trainings and seminars, are they not part of budgets? Festivals and others too. They alleged we use 200 and something million to print invitation, is that possible?
