First, the wife shares in the company comes home to the family. You can easily influence the contract, Eddu is a colleague, she can compromise because a day will come when she needs backing and you will agree to her terms because she gave your wife a contract
Is that a crime? Everyone can have influence or interest or connection to do so that is what we call power of help and connections WHAT MATTERS MOST IS TO FOLLOW DUE PROCESS.
@@AA-xs8mvAre you now saying the company should not bid for a contract with a govt ministry just because its founder is the head of another ministry? Every company that bid for a contract under govt will have to lobby for it. Mere saying he influenced the contract because his colleague is a Minister does not hold water at all
This man has covered his tracks & seems to be doing a good job.. however, I strongly doubt he was not aware of an exorbitant cost for “humanitarian affairs” charged by his company to a colleague. There are certain things we should not be accepting when we as a people are truly ready to eliminate corruption.
This can only happen in Nigeria. The fact that he resigned his directorship does not exonerate him. He remains a shareholder of the company. And his wife remains the director. He has a vested interest in the company. In a sane society, Olubunmi Tunji Ojo would have either been asked to step aside pending investigation of the allegations or willingly step aside. He is not as smart as he thinks.
@@yemmie4280What are you saying? Should the company fold up because its founder is a minister? Doesn't the company have the right to bid for a contract just like every other company in Nigeria? Conflict of interest will arise if the contract was awarded in a ministry under him.
@@michaelayodele3210 what I am saying is that his explanation is not satisfactory. I can blame you if you don't agree with me. You are a typical Nigerian reasoning like a Nigerian who is a beneficiary of Tunji Ojo. I maintain that in a sane society, he will not wait for him to be sacked to step aside, he will do so willingly. That is not the culture in Nigeria so I can understand your argument.
Seun is doing a poor job as a journalist; he should have asked him if he is the majority shareholder of the company; people appoint proxies as directors but yet maintain an indirect control over the company. So all what he is saying are lies and nonsense
Come dey stammer . And i respect this man before..... Are there no other companies that can do that consultancy Nobody's hand is clean. E gba wa o. All of una should be sacked..... But who you know wey nor com dey corrupt for this Naija bayi
You are lying sir, did you sell all the shares in the company? You still own shares in the company therefore you benefit from the contract that was awarded to your company. If investigation is done, it will probably show you are the majority shareholder in the company. You should be removed from office as well
Buisness is owned by people ,private or public office holders what is important is play by the rules.....not necessarily divesting yourself from your shareholding position...there are billionaires in the house of lords in the UK with vast Buisness empires doing contracts in the same country, Rishi Sunak the prime minister has Buisness globally while holding such powerful position,Trump as president didn't give up his company's as president....as a matter of fact securing contracts depends 100percent on contact,capacity,and playing by the rules.... if nothing fraudulent is involved, then what the heck......
If his wife is working there, it’s a conflict of interests…people resign in America because of things like that…forget embellishment….he is a shareholder…you don’t have to be a director to funnel money lol…forget this paper he is showing fools who don’t have brains to understand how Nigeria works
@@patrickihejirika it’s a gray area, even if the wife is a director, the company did not pursue contracts in Ministry of Interior where he’s in charge. People have the right to own shares in any company. Presidents and politicians own shares in various companies. Rishi Sunak’s wife has interest in InfoSys, and InfoSys gets lots of government contracts without anyone complaining. The fact that he resigned his directorship is 2019 is a sign of good faith.
If he really wanted to remove himself from the allegations, he just needed to tell the Ministry of Humanitarian affairs to show transparency of the bidding process that was used to assign the contract... Let's stop acting like we don't know he profited from the contracts!
Uhmn... Na wah o You resigned as director in a company you formed yourself. Dey whine us o. But God will expose una wey we trust as youth and you come dey take us play. It is well
He’s obviously lying through his teeth. Isn’t he a shareholder who enjoys dividend payment every year? He’s definitely going to benefit from that contract through dividend payment so this clearly is a conflict of interest. As a major shareholder he has a significant influence over the policy direction of the company. Since he’s also a government minister he can’t claim he didn’t influence the award of the contract to his company in which he has shareholding. Government ministers should not benefit from government contract directly or indirectly whether or not they are directors or not. Company are accountable to shareholder. He can’t feign ignorance here at all.
You set up a company, and then you resigned from the company, and then the minister for Humanitarian Affairs begins to pour public money into your former company. Soldier come, soldier go. Government Magic. Chaiii!!!
Shareholders tend not to have any say or influence in the day-to-day running of a company. That responsibility falls to the board of directors and the internal management structure of the company, so stop involving the man. Even if he lobbies, it's still part of business, and everyone running a business must lobby to get a contract.
It seems u don't know how corporation works. It is shareholders that appoint directors of board, even if a shareholder is not in charge of day to day but by their control of the board of directors, they can indirectly control the ceo and other executives who run day to day operation. If he controls 100% shares of the company then he appointed all board of directors who appoints the executives. Likewise if he has majority share he will control majority of the board. Mark Zuckerberg of meta owes 56% of of the shares as so controls appointing of 56% voting power in the board by his appoints thats why he can do anything and no one can fire him
If he has majority of the company 's shares, definitely he controls the company affairs despite not being the present director of the company I. quote.
@@mikeplaine1686 That doesnt matter. Influence or no influence, who wants to run a business and not want to gain? You also will lobby for contract if u sabi people for up.

CTC does not mean anything to Nigerians, because the CTC sent to the supreme court justices was not acted upon, how can someone bring in CTC and we accept it
Smart guy😂 oga you follow chop the money 😂 I understand you're doing a great job in your ministry but you can honorably resign sighting ignorance of the contract
You notice his defense is he is NOT the director…even an unborn baby knows you don’t have to be a director to commit a crime lol and his wife is involved in that company…it’s not hard to see he could have used his position and his previous link to enrich the company…corruption is hardly carried out directly it’s through intermediaries…Nigerians wake up
Nawa o. He literally commends Tinubu for promptly responding to the corruption scandal, and you accuse him of being malicious! Even if Tinubu were squeaky clean, still take your time to read a comment before alleging foul play. Abegi!
Technically and legally your argument is right, however it is morally wrong. There's a conflict of interest issue here. Should this standard be applied across the entire cabinet, I doubt if a single person would survive.
You and your wife are the founder... U resigned and put ur wife as director in ur interest... And the company got the contract because ur minister... Resign please
This man was the chairman of NDDC committee in the house of resp. That was the man that made his members to shout " off the mic " when the then minister of NDDC , God'swill Akpabio fingered him in the corruption of NDDC
This man takes Nigerians for a fool . That he resigned his directorship and he is yet is a shareholder means that he is a beneficiary. Therefore a beneficiary by proxy.
Mr Ojo, that you resigned from the company and your wife is the MD, doesn’t mean that the company doesn’t belong to you. This man is hiding under one of his fingers, trying to use logic, semantics and technicality to whitewash his complicity. Remember that shareholders own companies not directors
He never denied owning the company and you cannot wind down a company because you resigned to take up a public appointment. He has done what is required by law at best and the company will not be stopped from bidding for a contract on account of him being a Minister.
Channels why didn’t your management grant an interview for the suspended minister of humanitarian affairs Dr Mrs Betta Edu… But you have hurriedly granted an interview for Mr Tunji ojo..is it because she isn’t yoruba or probably because she is from a minority tribe in Nigeria… I sense the action of mr president in this quick interview by channels so as to save mr Tunji Ojo jobs
Resigning as the Director of the Company, does not mean that the company is nolonger yours. And that doesn't mean that, you don't use your office, to secure jobs for the Company, as alleged. We are Nigerians, and We are not deceived.
He used his company to get the contract for the company, and you can't take him to court for it, we know what happened just that legally, he covered his back
There is something about nigerians that i don't just underatand. So the fact that he is a minister and a shareholder of a company he should see a job which he knows too well that the company can handle he should not get the contract for the company or what? You people just want him out because he is doing well as a minister and is affecting you people because he is blocking you people from what you are used too. What i expect you people to be talking about is the contract given to him do they gave him rightfully? And did he deliver on the contract given to him? But you people are here saying because he is a shareholder so he should see a contract which his company can handle and asked them to give it out to somebody ex because he is a minister abi... Una so well. you people just don't want this tunibu govt to succeed abi una lie oo is going to work mr president has come to do the job and he is going to succeed by God's grace. Amen

He should submit to oseni rufai if he is sure he can answer the questions thrown at him. This interview is simply to confuse Nigerians from further agitation . Did he sell the share and to who? At what rate? But if hos wife or children are on the directors list then he stil own it. You can have a family member under your control to feel in the space for you for such a period you have other assignments. It happens a lot
