Saraki, Ahmed not needed now, states panel chair – TheNigerialawyer

The Chairman of the Kwara State House of Assembly Committee on
Land, Housing and Urban Development investigating transfer of
ownership of a four bedroom property of the state government,
Omotayo Awodiji, has said the committee as of now would not invite
former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, and the immediate past
governor of the state, Alhaji Abdulfattah Ahmed, to testify before
the committee.

The Kwara State House of Assembly on Tuesday during plenary
directed its Committee on Land, Housing and Urban Development to
investigate the alleged transfer of the property to Saraki.

The resolution of the House was sequel to a Matter of General
Importance raised by member representing Irepodun Constituency,
Omotayo Felix Awodiji, on the ownership of “Alimi Lodge” on the
floor of the House during plenary on Tuesday.

Speaking with our correspondent on the telephone in Ilorin on
Wednesday, Awodiji, who said the committee had invited some
government officials to acquaint it with information on the alleged
transfer of ownership of the property, stated that the officials
had honoured the invitation of the committee.

He said the committee felt that there was no need to invite the
two past governors to appear before it.

“We have invited some civil servants to appear before the
committee with relevant documents on the transfer of ownership of
the government property and right now, they are before the
committee.”
