… Asks CBN to unravel the alleged claims by EFCC
The Kogi State Commissioner for Finance, Budget and Economic Planning, Asiwaju Asiru Idris, charged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor to meticulously investigate the allegation as falsely raised by the EFCC and to also look deeply into the books of sterling bank for possible infractions.
The Commissioner was at the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), the apex and supervising Bank for all financial institutions in the Nation, to submit all documents as regard the bail out loan facility from Sterling bank, the account status and the details of the disbursement as at october 2019.
He said the EFCC may perhaps have acted on false information, but wants the CBN to asked critical questions about the returned fund and where it generated from.
According to him, It’s often said that he who upholds and speak the truth is like a lion; Fearless, Bold and Daring, knowing fully well that the truth will prevail regardless the travel time of falsehood.
While the Commissioner presented all the necessary documents that will help unravel the foregoing ambiguity created by EFCC and sterling concerning the alleged N19, 333,333,333.36 billion in a fixed deposit account, he said to be returned to the apex bank, he charged the CBN Governor to meticulously investigate the allegation as falsely raised by the EFCC and also look deeply into the books of sterling bank for possible infractions, said the EFCC acted on false information.
The Commissioner said as at today, considering the procedure involved in opening any account, neither the EFCC, nor the said bank has been able to present to court of public opinion, at least, the mandate from Kogi State Government to open such bail out fixed deposit account in the name of Kogi state, BVN of those that opened it, their phone number and the names of personnel’s that opened the said account.
“We all know that a fixed account can’t be opened without a mandate from the intended customer, agreement of terms such as tenor to fix, interest rate and many more.
Until Justice is done and truth unclad for the public to see, the Commissioner said it is no retreat no surrender.
He said nobody can mischievously tarnish the image of the state with corruption allegation and expect us to stay aloof, we won’t only uphold the truth, we will make sure the present Artificial entanglement is dymstified.
