Today, Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources held a Press Conference to debunk my allegation that the inability of the state government to pay beneficiaries of the World Bank assisted APPEALS Project will result in the state being blacklisted from the project. A rejoinder was expectedly published by the state media team to further deceive the gullible public about government's position on the multi billion naira project. The real reason for the unaccustomed reaction is because they know that I wasn't raising false alarm. They are also aware that the court can do something very damaging to their plans.
However, what they perhaps fail to know is the fact that I have copious evidence at my disposal to substantiate my claims/allegations (although, I won't divulge them here on social media). My facts are already with our legal team.
We expected the Commissioner to tell the people of Cross River State when the state government intends to pay the billions of naira approved by World Bank to beneficiaries of the APPEALS Project. Unfortunately, his surface dressing technic was skewed to veil his ignoble role in handling the APPEALS training. What exactly is the Commissioner desperate to hide? It is appalling that the man who is the greatest beneficiary of the project is rather working hard to ensure that the real beneficiaries are not paid.
I'll like it to be on record that the Commissioner will be made to pay dearly for fraudulently shifting the venue approved for the training from Shonghai Farms in Abi Local Government Area to his privately owned Obasi Farms in Akamkpa. He will also explain why he collected 5,000 per room yet lodged 4 persons per room in his private hotel against World Bank prescription. His decision to use his private facilities to host the event with public funds appropriated can be likened to the fraud committed by Mr Babachir Lawal, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
I'll like to reserve further details about the shoddy transactions and wait for the 48 hours to elapse then we'll drag the State government to court with the Ministries of Agriculture and International Donors as respondents.
