A professor of Political Economy, Pat Utomi, has alleged that a prominent indigene of Ogun State committed suicide over cancellation of a contract under the administration of former Governor Ibikunle Amosun.
Utomi also narrated how he suffered to pay back millions of naira in loans after Amosun allegedly cancelled a contract he (Utomi) had with the Ogun State government.
Utomi was reacting to Amosun’s statement on the controversial Arbitration and legal matters between a Chinese firm, Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co Lt, and the Federal Government of Nigeria/Ogun State Government on the termination of the contract at the Ogun/Guangdong Free Trade Zone.
The contract was initiated when Gbenga Daniel was the Governor of the State in 2007, but terminated under Amosun’s watch in 2016.
Tweeting on his X handle, Utomi tackled Amosun for cancelling his contract with the government the way he did with the Chinese firm’s.
“The Chinese were not the only victims. One prominent Ogun indigene allegedly committed suicide with similar Amosun action. I too was a victim,” Utomi said.
He explained that “I had leased OPIC land in Lagos in a BOT agreement under Gov Daniel. Amosun stopped all such on being sworn in.”
Utomi said he met with Amosun over the issue and the governor promised to resolve it but it was never resolved.
He described the controversy surrounding the Chinese firm’s contract as “Khama at work.”
