THE authorship of a damaging SMS being circulated against the Governor Ibikunle Amosun administration in Ogun State has pitted the government against former governor Gbenga Daniel.
The text message is said to have been in circulation in the past two weeks.
The SMS, signed by OGD, an acronym of Otunba Gbenga Daniel, is insinuating that the Amosun-led government has accessed N2.8 billion Ecological Fund from the Federal Government and misappropriated same.
The government said it was aware of the text message being circulated in the name of OGD and had expected the former governor to either deny or own up to it, if he was the author, so that the public could be well informed on the matter.
The government, through its Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Yusuph Olaniyonu, said no such funds were released to it by the Federal Government since it came on board 10 months agao.
The malicious text message reads: “The N2.8billion, which we have been lobbying the President for to construct the artificial lakes and create the solution to the perennial flooding of Isheri, has now been released to Oke Mosan.
“This is the time to come together and insist that the fund is not diverted. It is what I fought for and used our closeness to Jonathan to secure.”
“It was approved during my tenure but for the slow machinery of the Govt, the cheque should have long been released. It’s time for you people to move - OGD.”
