Kennedy Ikantu Peretei, the publicity secretary of the PDP in Ondo State, has unveiled eight companies allegedly owned by the Akeredolu family to siphon the State’s treasury.
Peretei made the revelation in his latest series on Akeredolu’s misrule in Ondo State.
The PDP chieftain also revealed that action is already being taken on the petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“When l released the series 10 of “Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu’s Misrule”, it was greeted with disbelief. Some said it was a fairy tale. Others said, Ondo State was too enlightened for such mindless looting. Even the clueless Government Information machinery dismissed me as idle, challenging me to provide the facts.
“Today, l serve only the first course of documentary evidence, independent, authorised search from the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) portal, so that, the doubting Thomases can come to terms with the fact that, indeed, Ondo State is under siege with Akeredolu and his family,” Peretei disclosed.
He said the independent findings revealed that the following companies are owned by the Akeredolu family:
