Tawa Williams, the Project Consultant of the Ilesa Water Project, on Thursday, alleged that the Osun State House of Assembly demanded $5 million dollars
William, who was suspended on Wednesday by the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke also disclosed that the House Committee Chairman on Water Resources, Nasiru Olateju demanded the bribe on behalf of the Osun Assembly.
The Asset Review Committee had been inaugurated by the Ademola Adeleke administration right after inauguration on November 27, 2022. In her words, “The House is asking for five million dollars and I said I don’t have five million dollars to give to anybody. They asked for it for themselves. They are asking for a takeaway grant and they are saying that they will go to the press and say that the quality of work that we have done is not good.
Meanwhile, the Osun State House of Assembly has denied the allegations of bribery levelled against it by Williams. “It is quite unfortunate that the consultant of the Ilesa water project Engineer Tawa Williams has resulted in cheap blackmail in trying to cover up for her incompetence, just like a drowning person who will want to cling to any available straw.
