Edo state governor, Adams Oshiomhole has vowed to prosecute former governor, Lucky Igbinedion and his father, Sir Gabriel Igbinedion.
Oshiomhole says he would take the files containing alleged fraud perpetrated during the Lucky Igbinedion administration to Abuja next week in order to begin prosecution.
The governor claims that father and son converted properties, funds meant for the people of the state to their private use.
Oshiomhole on Wednesday, expressed his readiness to publish the sales of Government properties during the administration of Igbinedion.
He said: “Every body born of a woman in this state must be subjected to the rule of law. I decree in the name of God my creator and in the interest of Edo people, even the ones yet unborn, that I want to be remembered, not only for roads, hospitals, schools but much more importantly.”
“I want to be remembered as the man who brought an end to exemptions. I want to be remembered as the man who took from those who have bastardized, raped and privatized the resources of Edo State, used our money to build their private universities and walk around our streets when they are supposed to be in Oko prison.”
“We provided leadership that has banished godfathers in Edo State, they can never forget that once upon a time there was Adams. I did not promise to make everybody happy, what I promised was to make majority happy. And to make majority happy we must make some people cry, so that others can smile.”
