The Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts Committee, Rep. Bamidele Salam has commended the efforts of President Bola Tinubu for his courage and patriotism in addressing a significant issue plaguing public finance in Nigeria.
He also called on the President to carry out similar action on the 2014 CONFAB Report.
This was contained in a statement by Rep. Salam, after the Federal Executive Council decision on Monday 26th February 2024, for the full implementation of Steve Oronsaye’s panel report to reduce the cost of governance, restructuring, and rationalisation of federal agencies, parastatals, and commissions.
President Tinubu’s decisive actions he said was aimed at tackling one of the major drains on public funds.
The lawmaker further emphasized the importance of similar actions being taken regarding the 2014 National Conference report. The report, which he said contains crucial recommendations for national development and governance, has yet to be fully implemented.
According to him, “The Confab report contained Devolution of Power, Political Restructuring and Forms of Government, National Security; Environment; Politics and Governance; Law, Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Reform.
“Social Welfare; Transportation; Agriculture; Society, Labour, and Sports; Public Service; Electoral Matters, Foreign Policy and Diaspora Matters, Land Tenure Matters, and National Boundary.
“Trade and Investment, Energy; Religion; Public Finance and Revenue Generation, Science, Technology and Development Immigration
“The Report of 2014 National Confab is the only master plan/road map for restructuring Nigeria for the sake of peace, unity, progress, faith, love and tolerance in Nigeria”, he stated.
Rep. Salam noted the necessity of addressing the recommendations outlined in the 2014 Confab report, asserting that its implementation would significantly contribute to the advancement of the Nation.
He therefore urged fellow legislators to support any bills and other measures that will be presented by the president in the course of carrying out full implementation of the Orosanye’s report.
Naijablitznews.com reports that as discussions surrounding the effective utilization of public resources continue to gain momentum, Rep. Salam’s call for action on the 2014 Confab report, explains the importance of proactive governance in driving socio-economic development and fostering national unity.
The Accord Party has defeated the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the polling unit of former Osun Deputy Governor and ex-APC National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, in the ongoing Osun State governorship election.
According to results uploaded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Result Viewing Portal (IReV), Accord secured 131 votes at Polling Unit 003, Ife Ward 1 (Moore), St. Gabriel Primary School, in Ife East Local Government Area.
The APC polled 85 votes to finish second, while the African Democratic Congress (ADC) recorded 10 votes. Other political parties obtained marginal votes at the polling unit.
The result adds to a series of early victories recorded by the Accord Party as INEC continues the uploading and collation of results across the state.
Earlier, Accord also won at the polling unit of former Osun Governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, in Okuku, Odo-Otin Local Government Area.
The result sheet uploaded on the IReV portal showed Accord polling 125 votes, ahead of the APC, which recorded 85 votes. The ADC secured five votes.
Meanwhile, INEC has continued to upload results from polling units across Osun State as the governorship election moves into the collation stage.
Voters across the state’s 30 local government areas cast their ballots on Saturday to elect a governor for the next four years.
The major contenders in the election include the incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party, APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji, and African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate Najeem Salaam.
The Accord Party has won the governorship election at the polling unit of former Osun State Governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, in Okuku, Odo-Otin Local Government Area of the state.
According to the result sheet uploaded to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) IReV portal, Accord polled 125 votes to emerge victorious at the polling unit.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) came second with 85 votes, while the African Democratic Congress (ADC) secured five votes.
The African Action Congress (AAC) scored two votes, while the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Young Progressive Party (YPP) and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) each recorded one vote.
Other parties, including the AA, ADP, APGA, APM, APP, BP, NNPP and PRP, recorded no votes.
The result sheet showed that 228 voters were accredited, with 220 valid votes cast and eight rejected ballots.
The election was conducted at Court Hall I, Okuku, in Odo-Otin Local Government Area.
The result comes against the backdrop of Oyinlola’s reported endorsement of the APC governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, ahead of the election.
Oyinlola, who governed Osun State from 2003 to 2010, had publicly backed Oyebamiji despite the APC candidate running against incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The outcome at Oyinlola’s polling unit therefore puts the Accord Party ahead of the APC, with Adeleke’s party failing to secure the unit despite the incumbent governor’s participation in the election.
Voting was disrupted in Ejigbo, Osun State, after violence broke out at a polling unit during the ongoing Osun State Governorship election.
It was gathered that voters, residents and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) fled the polling unit as tension escalated around the area.
According to Channels TV, people were seen running in different directions while motorcycles and vehicles moved through the area as residents attempted to escape the unfolding situation.
The immediate cause of the violence was not clear, as the chaos temporarily halted the ongoing electoral process.
The incident comes as voters come out in their numbers to partake in governorship election amid tight security.
