OGUN GUBER ASPIRANT, GNI, IN N2.8B BOGUS LOAN SCANDAL!

Gboyega Nasir Isiaka GNI

A 2015 governorship aspirant on the platform of the Labour Party in Ogun State, Gboyega Nasir Isiaka has been linked with afraud amounting to N2.8 billion by the Ogun State Government.

GNI, as he is fondly called by his supporters, was the Group Managing Director of Gateway Holdings, an Ogun State-owned company which was established by the Otunba Gbenga Daniel administration in the state.

Ogun State Commissioner for Finance, Kemi Adeosun, disclosed this Thursday while answering questions from members of the Ogun State House of Assembly who invited her alongside the Works and Infrastructure Commissioner over the N19 billion loan being sought by the governor.

She revealed that the company under the leadership of Isiaka took a loan of N2.8 billion towards the end of their administration in 2011.

Adeosun explained that the loan was said to have been meant for construction of a head Office for the company, declaring that, to date, there was no foundation anywhere in any part of the state for the proposed head Office.

She informed the legislators that two banks from where the loan was taken have been seeking the repayment of the loan since the company belongs to Ogun State.

Adeosun who described the establishment as a sham further said the state government was already challenging the request for the repayment of the loan in a court of law, noting that the state could not say what the loan was used for.

She further alleged that for five years when the company operated under the last administration, there was no audited account of the company which handled all investments of the state.

According to her, “since they were established up till now, they do not have audited account and for about five years with Mr Isiaka as the GMD, there was no audited account. There’s a bank now that has issued a petition to wind it up. They took a loan of N2.8 billion just before the election, they said they wanted to build head office.

“I have searched Abeokuta and I cannot even find the foundation. What the banks are saying is that we all know Gateway Holdings is Ogun State, ‘come and pay’ and we are in court now.

“Because as a lender, somebody said he wants to build a head office and you gave them N2.8 billion, you too didn’t look to see the foundation, how many blocks have been done, we have been dragging it with them and the money is gone. Gateway Holdings is a sham.

“Finbank and former Oceanic Bank are now chasing us on the loans, what the loan was used for, we can’t say.”

When our correspondent contacted Isiaka on phone to react to the allegation, he debunked it and

promised to issue an appropriate reply within the next 24 hours.

Isiaka, who is out of town for now, described the Finance Commissioner as someone who was known for making conflicting, inconsistent and frivolous allegation.

“All I can tell you for now is that the woman is fond of opening her mouth and saying anything. In the first instance, I want to tell you that both allegations are wrong, they are malicious, they are baseless and we shall reply appropriately.

“I can’t really say much for now, but from what I have heard about hersince she got into the office, she is fond of making conflicting, inconsistent, wrong information and this is just one of them,” Isiaka said.

OGUN APC CRISIS: SK BLASTS AMOSUN!

Sina Kawonise (SK), a governorship aspirant on the platform of the Labour Party (LP) in Ogun State has condemned, in very strong terms, the recent violent attack on a gathering of APC members convened by Senator Gbenga Obadara (Ogun Central), in the Wasinmi area of Ogun State in which ten people, including the Senator's police orderly were shot. This is the third time within two weeks that violence would be unleashed on attendees at different APC gatherings in Ogun State. 

The first one being at Abeokuta, the second at Ijebu-Igbo and the most recent one at Wasinmi. The governorship hopeful warns the imcumbent governor of the state, Senator Ibikunle Amosun not to allow his desperation for a second term ticket to drive him into turning the state into a theatre of war where human blood is shed with so much impunity, all because of individual ambition.

 A situation where journalists and even policemen are attacked by political thugs loyal to those who hold the reins of power in Ogun State is totally unacceptable. Even more worrisome is the response of Governor Ibikunle Amosun, who is supposed to be the state' s chief security officer, to the ugly situation. It is completely insensitive of Governor Amosun to have accused the conveners of the botched gathering of holding the gathering when they should have been attending the 75th birthday of APC leader, Bisi Akande, in Lagos. 

This insensitive response reveals a man who places little or no value on human life. Politics, according to SK, should not be a do or die affair. The governor should give internal democracy a chance in the APC and allow the will of the majority to prevail.

There was a mild drama, during the event when an APC chieftain, Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye stalled the move to adopt Governor Amosun for second term, cautioning the governor’s loyalists against hasty decisions.

Durojaiye, who shocked the audience, declared that time was not yet ripe for the process of adoption, adding that such action could be pre-emptive of the APC constitution.

The stakeholders’ meeting was, however, boycotted by former Governor Olusegun Osoba and the party’s National Assembly members, including Senator Adegbenga Kaka (Ogun East), Senator Gbenga Obadara (Ogun Central) and Senator Akin Odunsi (Ogun West) as well as seven House of Representatives members elected on the platform of APC.

Drama began when the governor’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Alhaji Salisu Shuaib invited a member of the state House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo, to move a motion for Amosun’s adoption for a second term.
After Oluomo moved the motion, which was seconded by Mr. Elias Babatunde Isola from Ogun East Senatorial District, Senator Durojaiye was invited to seal the motion and he countered it.

The governor stated this while speaking at the 29th Sagamu Day celebration held at the Methodist Secondary School, Ijoku, Sagamu on Saturday.

The former state governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, is from the town.

He said, “The frequent violent clashes between members of rival cult gangs in this area have continued to create fears in the minds of the residents of the town. It has become imperative that measures are taken to check the activities of the cult groups in this area.”



Amosun added that his administration would continue to collaborate with security agencies to ensure that Sagamu town was no longer a haven for people with criminal tendencies.

He added that aside from infrastructural development, a clean
and serene environment, security of lives and property was an essential ingredient that would encourage the development of any state.
