Alleges Oke Of Using Proxy Company To Win Government Contracts

An Abuja-based lawyer and chieftain of the Accord Party in Osun State, Mr. Pelumi Olajengbesi, has alleged the lawmaker representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, Hon Wole Oke, of abuse of office.

Olajengbesi alleged that the lawmaker used a proxy company to win government contracts, adding that the act constituted a clear conflict of interest and a breach of constitutional duty.

The lawyer had on his Facebook page, posted a letter written by Oke to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development, where the lawmaker recommended a company, MC Aremo Nigeria Limited, to construct inner roads and provide solar street lights in Ikeji Arakeji, Osun State.

However, Olajengbesi said Oke is connected to the company and the beneficial owner by proxy, adding that what the lawmaker did amounted to abuse of office and conferring corrupt advantage.

The lawyer also claimed the lawmaker failed to provide the inner roads and solar street lights in Ikeji Arakeji.

He said, “I have compiled 674 reasons why you have allegedly abused your office as a Member, contrary to the Code of Conduct for Public Officers.

“As a public officer, you are prohibited from: Placing yourself in a position where your personal interest conflicts with your official duties.

“Using a proxy company to win government contracts constitutes a clear conflict of interest and a breach of constitutional duty.

“Also, under the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act (ICPC Act), Section 19 criminalises the use of office or position to confer corrupt advantage upon oneself or any other person.

“Using your office to influence the award process to benefit your proxy company amounts to: Abuse of office and Conferring corrupt advantage.

“Furthermore, under the Criminal Code Act or Penal Code, if you concealed ownership of a company, misrepresented the company as independent, and deceived the procurement authority, this could amount to fraud or obtaining advantage by deception.

“I put it to you that you are connected to, related to, and are the beneficial owner by proxy of the company known as MC Aremo Nig. Limited, which has received several contracts for Oriade/Obokun by virtue of your office and has either not executed them or has poorly executed them.

“I was at Ikeji-Arakeji, and I wonder why Wole Oke abandoned his responsibilities to the people to criticise Governor Adeleke, who is working selflessly for the people. Under the 2024 Federal Budget, a sum of ₦500,000,000 was appropriated for the construction of inner roads and the provision of solar street lights in Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State. This has been since 2024.

“Wole Oke took this project in the name of some of his staff’s companies, where he has his boys as the owners of the company on his behalf but we do not know how far the project is? I have been to Ikeji-Arakeji today, and the question is very simple. Just like he asked Governor Adeleke, this is my question: What is the current status of the execution of this contract since 2024? What efforts have been put in place to get the job done? Why was the contract done by his staff?”

The lawyer gave the lawmaker six hours to apologise to the people of Oriade/Obokun.

He added, “Take notice that, in the ill-advised event that you refuse to apologise, you will be required to give a full account of your connection to: MC Aremo, Mukusmukus and Olumojo Lines.”

Efforts to get the reaction of the lawmaker proved abortive as calls to his line were not connecting and the message sent to him was not responded to as at the time of filing this report.
