Hushpuppi

While the case of a Nigeria-born Dubai-based alleged internet fraudster popularly known as Hushpuppi rages on, a group that identified itself as the All Progressive Congress Integrity Group has alleged that there is another Hushpuppi in the helm of affairs in Ondo State that needs to be investigated.

The group alleges that the State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, through what they described as “Vicious Cabal of The State Executive Branch” did not only corner N4.3billion into a secret bank account but was instrumental in the sponsoring of “Revolution Now” with a whooping sum of N10.7b.  

The group said that the Vicious Cabal run and funded by the Executive Governor of Ondo State, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu refused to account for the money and rather deceived the stakeholders that the money has long been spent. 

In a petition to anti-corruption agencies, signed by one Olushola Adebayo which was obtained by LeadingReporters, the group claimed the said money belonged to the State, but was siphoned into a hidden account in the State.  The group said the fund was part of the funds and assets handed over the current administration by its predecessor.

The group as well said that the State Governor diverted another N10.7billion.  The fund was discovered in 2018 which the state Governor set aside to aid “Revolution Now”
