ICIR, an investigative website, had exposed the alleged fraudulent activities perpetrated by Alanamu and Maimuna Aliyu, whose appointments Acting President Yemi Osinbajo approved last Tuesday. The website said the ICPC is currently probing Aliyu and Alanamu for alleged corruption in the region of N1billion. While Alanamu is reportedly being investigated on corruption charges allegedly committed when he headed some institutions in Kwara state, Aliyu is said to have a longstanding case of abuse of office, misappropriation and diversion of public funds against her. On Sunday, the presidency announced the withdrawal of their nomination. Reacting to the allegations, Alanamu said he was never indicted of any offence by any anti-corruption agency. “First, I must say that appointment into public office is a trust to serve the humanity. I would rather protect my integrity than take any offer that would rubbish the highest standard I have maintained in my public service career,” he said. “I was never indicted nor convicted of any offence or crime by any institution. The records of my stewardship are there in various institutions I served. “Even though I am not a politician, I was chairman of various councils and institutions at different periods which include Kwara state council of supervisors for health; Kwara state college of education, Kwara state scholarship board, Kwara state rural water supply & sanitation agency, Kwara state universal basic education board, Kwara state teaching service commission, governing council, Kwara state college of Arabic & Islamic legal studies and governing council, Kwara state polytechnic, Ilorin. “When I was nominated for ICPC, I was extremely happy to have the privilege to serve humanity with utmost level of commitment, sincerity and honesty. Nevertheless, with the turn of event on the allegations, I strongly believe the government will conduct thorough investigation over the allegations.”]]>
