APC will review last-minute award of contracts, employment in Ogun

THE All Progressives Congress (APC) has vowed to review all last minute award of contracts, installation of traditional rulers, mass appointments and other financial commitments entered into by the outgoing government in Ogun State.

The party, in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Comrade Tunde Oladunjoye, said the outgoing government of Governor Ibikunle Amosun has been making some financial unsustainable commitments at the detriment of the Prince Dapo Abiodun’s government.

Oladunjoye said some of the contracts were without due consideration and as such might not be binding on the incoming administration.

The statement read, “You will recall that our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has in the course of the past few weeks, following our victory at the March 9, 2019, gubernatorial elections, issued media statements cautioning financial institutions from granting loans, overdrafts and other financial instruments to the outgoing government of Senator Ibikunle Amosun.

“Though a Joint Transition Committee of the incumbent and incoming Governments has been set up, Senator Amosun has made last-minute appointments and awarded contracts without due consideration to the incoming administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun.

“Whilst we accept that the term of this Government expires on the 29th May 2019, it is morally unacceptable that a Governor with less than one month to the expiration of his term in office will make mass appointments and promotions, thereby committing the incoming administration to unsustainable financial commitments and obligations.

“We hereby alert the general public and those to whom it may concern that all appointments, installation of traditional rulers, contracts, commitments and obligations entered into during the transition period after the elections will be reviewed and may not be binding on the new administration.”
