Call for establishment of judicial commission of inquiry into wanton looting of Ondo state's treasury.

August 11, 2009

Subsequent to the much expected revelation of the wanton looting, devastation and desecration of the sacred treasury of Ondo State by your Excellency, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, it is expected, as consistent with human liaisons and modus of Nigerian political engagement as well as scoring cheap sympathy that the opposition groups and the main culprits of the heinous crimes will enter into the frenzies of self exoneration, group abolition, spurious claims and counter claims that will generate utmost ill will and mudslinging with its attendant undue publicity.


We therefore unequivocally call for on the Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko to immediately constitute a Judicial Commission of inquiry into the immediate and remote causes of the despicable finance of Ondo State by the elsewhile Administration to be headed by a well known serving or retired Judicial Officer of unimpeachable character.

The Judicial Commission of Inquiry can much more comprehensively inquires into the corrupt practices, recover mismanaged or embezzled funds, bring culprits to book and generally restore people’s confidence in the government and governance.

 The people of Ondo State, Nigerians and majority of our poverty-stricken citizens believe that unless this measure is commenced in earnest and the present administration of the State take every step necessary to end the plunder of our dear State, endemic poverty and instability will continue to plague the State and our country for years and decades to come.

 Particularly, when the perpetrators of this heinous act are not remorseful but are parading themselves in every nook and crannies of the world and are prepared to squander colossal resources to justify their years of locus.

 The establishment of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry will not only afford both accused and the accusers to say whatever they know than resorting to the expected voices of Babel but will create to the populace sense of belonging and participation in the polity of the State.

 Egalitarian Mission, Africa will mobilize the entire civil society to stand by the proposed commission on its noble cause against corruption and state decline.

 

Yours truly,

FOR: EGALITARIAN MISSION, AFRICA
