Watching the shameful action of the managing director of SUJIMOTO , Mr Sijibomi Ogundele on video shedding crocodile tears as he narrates his deal in a Tik-tok style, one may conclude that it was just one of those fake video from social media.
In a well relaxed, as he balanced on a sofa, shedding crocodile tears as he narrate his ordeals with our state governor, Dr Peter Mbah over the award of contracts amounting to billions of naira to his company, and being alleged to be chased about by the EFCC for his failure to deliver, again leaves many to wonder "if his story was real or fake." !
His stories appeared nothing but like a well rehersed action of a fake actor on a mission to expose some negative things by sycophants in Enugu state!
First, the award of such contracts as he alleged without due process, leaves many to ask: "is there no more due process in award of contract in Enugu state, or a case of high level conspiracy by some to defraud the good people of Enugu State? If that is the case, smart schools can be simply alleged to be "nothing but conspiracy and fraud!"
Involving EFCC is this matter as the public are meant to understand to recover this money is nothing but "just chasing shadows. "EFCC as far as we know, has become an old colonial "Ichoku legal system of the early 70s" with a popular TV actor , Nomadi Ugo Orji", the satirical court clerk and lawyer in the native court system under a colonial white judge, "interpreting laws upside down, and unfortunately as is the case today"!
Our legal system today has simply become a cesspool of corruptions "where snakes and monkeys are alleged to swallow money " and no body is asking questions.!
The main question: in all these, "why the smart schools in the first place in Enugu state while the existing primary schools in every locality are still in a state of dilapidation. "Can't the state reactivate these schools as smart schools before embarking on the so called new smart schools? Worse still is that the contractors are not from Enugu State but "hired from Yoruba land : and more without due process!"!.
This policy and the current situation has revealed nothing but what one may call: "smart schools and smart fraud"!
