Amosun, Daniel In War Of Words

Ogun State governor, Ibikunle Amosun, yesterday faulted the claim of former Governor Gbenga Daniel? that he inflated contracts for the purchase of Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs).
?

?Amosun, while reacting to a publication by a national daily (not LEADERSHIP), described the claim? as baseless.
?

?He said, “We are not thieves like them; they are thieves and I can say it again and again and again. The only thing that will restrict me from saying it again is because I don’t want to bring this office of the governor into disrepute.”
?

But in a quick reaction, media aide to Daniel, Mr. Adegbenro Adebanjo, called on Amosun to defend the purchase of the APC at inflated rate.
?

“The present administration should react to the allegation that it had ordered for APC at an inflated rate, that it paid a whopping N500 million to two firms to audit the account of the state without the consent of the state executive council and that it awarded the contract for a kilometre of road at N500 million.
