Recall that the Speaker and the Clerk of Delta State House of Assembly, Mr. Sheriff Oborevwori, and Mrs. Lyna Ochulor, were in February 2021 summoned and interrogated by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abuja.

The invitation followed a petition bothering on alleged fraud, abuse of office, exorbitant prices on the purchase of vehicles, and wanton looting of the legislative treasury.

Clerk Reacts to details

The Union Nigeria has the clerk on record while reacting to the details of the audit report.

According to her, the house during its plenary had harmonized the funds. When asked of the plenary date where the house did the harmonization, she said she would get back on that one.

She said the House Committee on Public Accounts cleared the report.

But on further investigation, it was gathered that the House Committee on Public Accounts only referred the accounts to the office of the Auditor-General.

What could not be ascertained was if the House of Assembly had the power to clear such financial infractions as well as how it was done.

It was a Mistake From Auditor General Office – Speaker

The Speaker, Mr. Sheriff Oborevwori, who spoke to our reporter said, “I saw what you sent to me. I think there is no issue. The house issued a certificate covering all. What is there is the third tranche of the purchase of vehicles, purchase of a gift for staff, not even members? Those things don’t have any issue at all.

“They have been cleared on the 3rd of August on the floor of the house. It was a mistake from the office of the Auditor-General.” The Speaker said.

My Report Is Certified – Auditor General

The Delta State Accountant General, Mr. Paul Aghanenu when reached confirmed the authenticity of the report.

He said he has presented his report to the house of Assembly.

According to him, the report is both in print and soft copies which have been uploaded on the state’s website.

Aghanenu said he needed clearance from the office of the Secretary to State Government to speak further.
