A Port Harcourt based Security Consultant, Mr Jackson Lekan Ojo who hails from Imesi-Ile, Obokun Local Government has called out Honourable Busayo Oluwole Oke who represents Obokun/Oriade Federal constituency in the House of Representatives.
In a voice note meesage by Mr Ojo, a copy exclusively obtained by osun.life, he said “ It is quite disheartening that you made to the boys of OSF that you sponsored and financed Obokun/Oriade solidarity forum and I know that I spent almost N37 million on OSF and definitely if you are the one that sponsored and gave me money I want you to keep all the banking documents that you used to send all these money to me but, if you can’t do this you have ridiculed yourself in the public. I’m not going to take it lightly and it’s not the matter of Obokun/Oriade solidarity forum, the banks are there. I don’t know when you ever send money beyond N500,000 in August 2016 which I shared among the boys. I’m not going to abuse you but the only thing is I regretted to have ever used my hard earned money to sponsor a mediocre, a callous like you to the House of Reps, I know how much I spent during the tribunal I know the contact I made its on recording, if you can’t prove you sponsored OSF you have to refund N50 million and I bet it with you that you will refund all my money, I regret working with you but my money will not lost in your project, you are a total ingrate”.
Hon. Oke, a third term member of the Federal House of Representatives, is the chairman of the House Committee on Public Procurement. The Politician who is already facing stiff opposition in his fourth term re-election bid from a young Abuja based lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi. The young Pelumi who recently declared his ambition under the platform of Oke’s Peoples Democratic Party is no doubt a pushover, he has been working round the clock to dismantle Oke’s structure and make his ambition a reality.
Meanwhile, Hon Oluwole Oke in his own response said he has no comment, he further went ahead to suggest that if anybody he’s owing him and refuses to pay, he will litigate to get such money back, asking if our correspondent believes such story.
In his words, he said “I do not intend to join any issue with anybody. If anybody thinks he or she is owed, the best thing the person should do is to deploy legal means to seek recovery. I’m not a rich man but I didn’t come into politics in penury. I have never collected money from anybody. No Godfather. My Godfather is GOD Anybody who has 50m to invest in another person to run for House of Rep should be able to sponsor himself for such office. No doubt we have fans and supporters. It is a norm in politics for people to support in prayer, in kind and even in cash.”
Lastly, with party members showing interest in Hon. Oke’s seat and the rumoured ambition of Mr. Siji Olamiju (AKOL) under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The embattled Politician will no doubt have to close ranks with his old allies for him to be formidable in next year’s general election.
