Oshiomole, who was a guest at a seminar organized by the
Post-Mortem sub-committee of the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC)
yesterday July 29th , alleged that the Department of Petroleum Resources
collected N30 billion illegally during the last administration ..
"Chairman, you must compel the DPR to refund the money.
Edo state will pursue its own share of that money because we have not
authorized the DPR to take it. And we have the right to go to court if it is
not done because for me I want to die for something and not for nothing because
I know I will die. DPR’s budget as I understand is about N4 billion annually
and in one month illegally they have deducted 4 per cent from certain accruals
from royalties among others amounting to over N2 billion. If your annual budget
is about N4 billion and you collect over N2 billion in one month which means in
a year you are going to collect close to between N24 and N30 billion where your
total expenditure is not more than N4 billion. This is not only illegal, it is
unjust and not acceptable in a decent society. We cannot all keep quiet even in
the face of everyone abusing power. We drive round the country we see a lot of
our able young men. In today’s post mortem we want to know how much NIMASA has
earned over the years under president Goodluck Jonathan that was never
transferred to the federation account and where is the money and how much is
it? We also want to know how much NPA transferred to the federation account and
if they did not how much do they earn and where is the money?" he said
