ICPC should investigate Obaseki, say PDP members

Some members of the People’s Democratic Party under the aegis of Concerned Edo PDP Stakeholders have petitioned the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission over alleged diversion of state funds by Governor Godwin Obaseki.

The petition, titled: ” Petition against the unfairly advantageous awarding of Edo State Contracts to Afrinvest Limited by Mr. Godwin Obaseki”, alleged that Obaseki abused his office to award inflated contracts to his company, Afrinvest Limited, in flagrant disregard for the constitutional provision that guides the award of contract.

“One of such abuse of his official position was when Obaseki, single-handedly, without the approval of his cabinet and legislative arm of government, awarded a N1.8 billion naira consultation contract on water storm project to Afrinvest Ltd., without the justification of the sum and the nature of the contract. This, when established, will find the governor in contravention of Section 19 of the ICPC Act 2000.
