Governor of Southwest Nigeria sacked
2006-10-03
NigeriaÂ’s southwest region of Ekiti has lost its governor over corruption. The state in southwest Nigeria has also lost its vice governor over similar accusations. Twenty-four members out of the 26 in NigeriaÂ’s state House of Assembly agreed upon the sacking of the governor and his deputy. They requested them to file complaints after the notice of their sacking was sent unto them.

NigeriaÂ’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has been investigating their involvement in the embezzlement of funds meant for a poultry project in the state. The sacking of the governmr from Southwest Nigeria makes the number of NigeriaÂ’s governors to be sacked over corruption charges at three since Olusengun Obasanjo took over power as president of Nigeria.

#1  Have to get rid of the old corrupt politicians to make room for the new corrupt politicians. Or does Africa work differently than the US?
