The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ondo State chapter are calling for the immediate sacking of the Commissioner for Finance in the State.
This call is proudly sponsored by the accused improper and alarming items set aside for the office of the Commissioner for Finance in the Ondo State 2025 Appropriation Act which has sprung a lot of uproar in the State for weeks.
The PDP Ondo chapter alleged that the Lucky Ayedatiwa led government has maintained deafening silence and complicity which has continued to make the general public cry foul play.
The N11.5B Security Vote in the Ministry of Finance captured in the 2025 Approved Budget has not been explained to the people of the State, in spite of the public outcry.
The provision of N250M as Honorarium and Sitting Allowance in the Ministry of Finance is another padded item in the budget for the enjoyment and pleasure of the Commissioner.
Perhaps, the most insensitive of the items is the procurement of a Toyota Prado SUV Jeep for the Honorable Commissioner for Finance at a exorbitant sum of N230M.
In view of the above approved Budgetary allocations, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ondo State Chapter believes that Mrs Isaac Omowunmi, the Ondo State Commissioner for Finance must be fired with immediate alacrity, for criminally abusing her office.
Noting that her claim of being a UK trained Accountant falls flat on its back, if all she can do is to loot the State’s Treasury, when in the real sense she is supposed to be the Gatekeeper of our Treasury.
If Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa fails to relieve the Commissioner of her duties, having failed the people of the Sunshine State, steps will be taken to prove that, what is at stake is the people’s funds, they concluded.
