GROUP WRITES BURUTU LEGISLATIVE ARM: DEMANDS PROBE OF COUNCIL BOSS

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE LEADERSHIP OF BURUTU LEGISLATIVE ARM ,RT.HON. JOSEPH ALUBEZE FULUDU TO BEGIN A THOROUGH AND DRASTIC PROBE INTO THE COUNCIL’S FUNDS WITHIN 7DAYS

We hereby write most respectfully to your enviable office as leader of Burutu legislative arm to begin a drastic and rigorious probe into the treasury of the council as headed by Hon.Godkows Angele for about two years, and as well funds leftover in the treasury by the past administration led by Chief Ebikeme Clark within 7days.

It may interest you to know that indigenes of Burutu council area are not happy with the activities of Hon. Godknows Angele as regards management of funds in the council for about two years as the Council’s Chairman.

It is a fact that works done by Burutu council Chairman, Mr. Godknows Angele since assumption of office as regards renovations, wooden toilets and the uncompleted councilor’s lodge propagated as leading legacy are not commensurable with monies been received from the federation account.

It is worthy of note that Local Government system in the federation is a strategic tier of Government saddled with the responsibility of bringing government closer to the grassroots in a view of providing and attracting development to rural communities in its jurisdiction.

You will agree with us that one of the key functions of the legislative arm of government is checks and balance, probing into the financial activities of the executive arm of government to prevent illegal appropriations and diversion of public funds. But over the years, the legislative arm of local government areas in the federation have been turned to be a puppet by the executive arm of government, a development that has breed corruption and underdevelopment in our localities.

As you know, the electorates are empowered by the freedom of information act to demand for a thorough account of public fund from those saddled with the responsibility of the -day- today-running of government business if not satisfied with the state of things.

We may as well petition the Delta State house of assembly, through the members representing Burutu in the state assembly with reasons why a probe action should be carried out in Burutu Council for effective service delivery.

In exercise of our fundamental rights, we deem it fit to demand that you and other members of the legislative arm of Burutu Local Government council should summon courage to prevail or compel Mr Godknows Angele to give vivid account of monies been received from the federation accounts, IGR and monies leftover by his predecessor within 7days.

We hope ,being the fact that the current leader of Burutu legislative arm is an upright man, he will not gamble with his office and believing same that he will do the needful within the 7days ultimatum given, in a view of initiating a probe into the financial dealings of the council and give public report in the same vein.

Meanwhile, we intend not to write further reminder as failure to do the needful at the expiration of the 7days ultimatum, we shall seek the help of a competent court of law to compel Mr. Godknows Angele to give a thorough account of funds accrued to the council for the two years period.

Thanks for your anticipated coorperation.

Yoursfaithfully

Major Timi Ogobiri

Spokesman.

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, has dispelled the insinuation that there is a conflict between the traditional thrones and Christendom. The monarch, who stated this when he received the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, in his Palace in Warri Kingdom, Delta State, said that the two institutions were not necessarily antithetical. He also debunked the assumption that traditional institutions were synonymous with fetishism and the worship of creations made by human beings and reasoning. He, however, noted that the two institutions can play complementary role that will contribute to the growth and development of the country. The Olu, who said he was elated by the Soun’s visit, said the new Ogbomoso monarch’s choice of Warri kingdom as his first place of visit was divinely directed, just as his choice for the throne was divinely ordained. He said that they owe i
