In the bid to seek the support of civil servants in the state for the house of assembly polls, Rotimi Akeredolu, Governor of Ondo State, has directed the heads of government ministries and agencies to give the workers the sum of N5,000 as"mobilisation fund" for the election. However, the distribution has been marred by corruption.
Akeredolu is already deploying all his chances to ensure that his party, the All Progressives Congress , wins the house of assembly election. The essence, according to sources close to the Governor, is to have the required number of lawmakers in the Ondo House of Assembly, which will be members of his party, to gain support against any impeachment.
A government worker who spoke with SaharaReporters on the telephone on Friday evening, confirmed the receipt of the largesse, saying the"mobilization fund" was shared among workers in her office on Wednesday. However, there appears to be some crisis, as heads of government ministries, including agencies, have allegedly pocketed the money while others reduced the sharing formula.
One of them, who simply identified herself as Mrs. Ibukun, said she was told by her friends in other ministries about the money with the hope she would receive hers. She, however, noted that they were scared to ask their boss concerning the funds.

Funny how APC is fast becoming a den of thieves and rogues.

EXCLUSIVE: Professor Stephen Ocheni, Minister Of State For Labour, Plagiarises Research Work From Australian University | Sahara ReportersAlthough Ocheni's biography describes him as 'a man with a voracious appetite for knowledge, thoroughness and professionalism', 'a thorough professional and technocrat with unblemished records' and as 'a teacher and researcher of no mean repute', SaharaReporters can report that he plagiarised one of the papers with which he rose to the pinnacle of his job as a lecturer before he was given his current post. The original work was done by Duc Hong Phan in collaboration with Bruno Mascitelli and Meropy Barut, all of the RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. Never heard of him. That one self na minister for this country? And yet more men of integrity will be appointed in few months time; I better be washing and cleaning my integrity from now, only that I might not fit into the integrity in their context. If i become president of Nigeria, i will weed out 'political professors' from government. IBB started the corruption of the ivory towers with political appointments and then unhealthy competition on campuses! Should we be surprised....that is the product of integrity appointments. Plagiarism, forgery etc is the norm of the day.
