Nigerian economist and politician Pat Utomi has blamed former Ogun State governor Ibikunle Amosun for causing the nation an embarrassment after a French Court granted relief to a Chinese firm to seize three presidential jets.
Prof. Utomi submitted on his X page Sunday, that he was also a victim of Amosun’s contract violations.
“So it was Gov Amosun’s violation of contract terms signed by his predecessor that brought the shame of seizure of jets from the Presidential fleet.
“I hope he is happy at his achievement’. The whole matter is Khama at work. The Chinese were not the only victims.
“One prominent Ogun indigene allegedly committed suicide with similar Amosun action. I too was a victim. I had leased OPIC land in Lagos in a BOT agreement under Gov Daniel.
“Amosun stopped all such on being sworn in. I called him. He said he did not see my name on the list. I went to Abeokuta and he called in Yewande Amusan who said mine was a straightforward deal they did not include it.
“He asked that all be included but mine be quickly sorted. That began a rigmarole that went on for years.”
