Reps, EFCC urged to hasten Obaseki probe over alleged N5.5bn fraud
Chief Dan Orbih, DPD state Chairman, told journalists in
Benin on Sunday, that the party's
investigation at the Corporate Affairs Commission had revealed that the Obaseki
allegedly appropriate to himself the shares of the late family of Humphrey
Idisi.
He stated that, as against an alleged agreement which gave
the late man an option of appointing a new chairman, the APC candidate
allegedly appropriated to himself the control of 36 million shares in the
company.
However, the APC flag bearer had in an interview last week
described the allegation as "one of those scams" he had
"nothing" to do with, as he was only a shareholder sitting on the
board of the company.
But Orbih said, "From the records available before us,
it is clear that Godwin Obaseki, the APC candidate, through this transaction,
had fraudulently accrued to himself the 36 million share capital hitherto held
by the family of Humphrey Idisi.
"This is fraud is unacceptable and we want say that
the present attempt by Godwin Obaseki and his German collaborators to frustrate
the public hearing by members of the House of Representatives will not
hold."
Calling on the electorate to key into the campaign of the
PDP and its governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, whom he described
as a "man of God," Orbih also
vowed that the PDP will expose more
documents of alleged fraudulent activities of the APC candidate "in
collaboration with Adams Oshiomhole, to defraud Edo State.
"Hence, we are using this opportunity to call on the
EFCC that the petition presented to its South-South zone in Port Harcourt,
Rivers State, should be looked into by the commission with all
seriousness."
