Unlike other appointees of Gov. Yahaya Bello who have constantly denied that they are not paid constituency allowance, Hon. Ibikunle Abubakar Amodu – SSA Youth Empowerment (West) has refunded his to his constituents.
In a statement which reads thus:
Compliments of the season to us all in the name of Allah, the Almighty and merciful.
As you all may be aware or adequately informed, His Excellency Governor Yahaya Bello, on Friday the 8th day of July, 2022, empowered his appointees and cabinet members with the annual constituency allowance for further propagation of his developmental works across the state. It is on this premise that I, your humble servant who is privileged to be a State Government Appointee in the capacity of a Senior Special Assistant to the Governor, His Excellency Governor Yahaya Bello, on Youth Empowerment (West) wish to remit the exact amount paid into my account on 8th July, 2022 as constituency allowance into the Ayegunle Gbede Development Union (AGDU) bank account for proper utilization of the funds.
I do not lay claim to this money, but I am giving it back to the people of my immediate constituency to use in whatever way they deem fit as long as it is for the development of the Community.
My only request is that the funds be put to good use and it should be fully accounted for. I want to also use this opportunity to appreciate you all, for your support and prayers since my appointment.
Gratitude!
Hon. Ibikunle Abubakar Amodu – SSA Youth Empowerment (West)
