An
Abuja based professional Group the Association for Good Governance (AGG) has
told Hon. Rally Iriase former member of the Federal House of Representatives
representing Owan East Local Government to pocket his thoughts of Mr. Godwin
Obaseki. The veteran member had called on
Mr. Godwin Obaseki to account for N251.08 billion he allegedly misappropriated
since assumption of office.
Speaking
at a public fora in Abuja, Chairman of the Abuja based group, Comrade James
Akande disclosed that Hon. Pally Iriase was the last person to ask the Edo
State Governor to render account of his financial stewardship.
The
Chairman wondered how cheap some people can be when confronted with life
challenges. “This is a man who held sway
twice as Local Government Chairman, before moving to the National Assembly”,
Comrade James told his audience. “For
years, they thrived under the tutelage of late Chief Anthony Anenih and Alhaji Inu
Umoru. “ Nobody else qualified for Government positions except them”, lamented
Comrade James. “Today, the chairman
bemoaned, just because they are out of office, they have suddenly found the
guts to call on others to account for their stewardship in Government. Comrade James charged Obaseki to remain undaunted
and urged him focus on his job. “People
like Iriase are just seeking for relevance – and he should not be given”. The
group then hailed Senator Victor Kassim Oyofo as the most credible of the last
chieftains that has emerged from Edo State political scene. They handed the Edo
North big shot for his loyalty, commitment to his party the PDP. “Others like
Pally Iriase have crossed carpet several times jumping from one boat to the
other seeking for what to eat, but senator Oyofo has remained calm building on
his reputation”, the group noted. “Oyofo can speak for the people, not Pally
Iriase. He lost that responsibility when he showed his partisanship; he should
be ignored”, added Comrade Akande.
