Former governor of Edo State, Lucky Igbinedion has failed Edo People and Nigerians as a whole.
The list of financial impropriety is endless:
Edo line gives Lucky Igbinedion N10 million on a monthly basis. To date over N300 million.
N1 billion raised at the capital market, with only 10 uncompleted building to show for it..
$1,000.00.00 (about N 140 million) at the exchange rate then, to make your first eight-day overseas trip, few weeks after being sworn in as Governor of Edo State in 1999.
N15, 939,656.66 for the clearing of 5 BMW motorcycles from the Apapa Wharf as contained in the Memo of Mr. Patrick Eboigbodin and approved by you on 16th December 1999.
N20, 424,002 to attend the Sydney Olympic Games as contained in the Memo of Mr. Patrick Eboigbodin and approved by you on 21st August 2000.
N17, 000,000.00 on the burial of the Late Justice Ephraim Akpata - a Federal Officer - as contained in the Memo of Mr. Patrick Eboigbodin and approved by you on 7th February 2000.
N400, 000,000.00 on the ill-fated Ikpoba River project.
N4 Billion to purchase vehicles within three years. With about 50 government vehicles in private use.
Overseas tour over 50 times, conservatively estimated to cost about N2 Billion in less than 3 years.
Purchase of property in London worth £3.5 million.
Lucky Igbinedion has a shady record in America; He was arrested for rape. He has never denied or confirmed whether he has a prison. From investigations, he has a criminal record. He secretly enters the US with
Diplomatic passport. This issue is not new. His opponents raised it when he contested for chairman of Oredo council.
Bob Izua alias ("Bomboy") a local thug made good under Gov. Igbinedion makes an average of N1.7million on a daily basis from ring road in Benin City. The proceeds from his extortion of illegal payment from bus drivers are shared with the Governor and his cronies
Unfortunately, this state that had an effective water board before Chief Igbins took over the state now practically does to get water. It is common knowledge that the bore hole 'operators' bribes the water board
officials to ensure that there is constant artificial scarcity of water.
It is needless to ask why they would do such a thing. Simple, it is the only way they can be guaranteed constant patronage from Edolites. If you are not convinced, just take a walk along Second East Circular Road, between 6am & 8am any day (including Sundays), I am sure you will change your mind".
Igbinedion & the Italian Connection I must commend the efforts of Mrs Eki Igbinedion for the courageous fight
against prostitution. Governor Igbinedion's conversion to moral crusade is deplorable. This is a man who procures young girls, old enough to be his daughters from Universities to entertain him and visiting dignitaries.
His guesthouse in Benin is a sex haven for all sorts of immoral activities. As the saying goes charity begins at home. Igbinedion has not tackled prostitutes who hang around his father's house opposite plaza hotel in Benin
City. He has no plan for HIV/AIDS infected girls who have been deported from Italy. By encouraging their deportation, he should be held accountable for the high rate of HIV/AIDS in Benin City.
Conclusion: He should be sent to the Anti corruption Commission to explain, his looting of Edo treasury in an unprecedented scale. This man is unfit to govern Edo State in the first place? The additional four years has opened Edo people to ridicule The House of assembly should wake up to its responsibilities and look into this matter
Governor Igbinedion's reckless of spending taxpayer money like a drunken sailor if not checked will have profound influence on your party's electoral success in Edo State. The people of Edo have collectively resolved to reject Igbinedion and his financial recklessness Resource control noise was toned down at the request of his political master Chief Annenih.
The PDP slogans of "Power to the People" and "Justice, Unity and Progress
should be genuinely applied to the people of Edo.
