The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Ondo State has demanded the removal of Finance Commissioner Omowumi Isaac over alleged budget padding in the 2025 Appropriation Bill.
The party cited discrepancies, including an N11.5 billion security vote, N250 million for honorariums, and a N230 million Toyota Prado SUV for Isaac’s office.
PDP’s Publicity Secretary, Kennedy Peretei, accused Isaac of financial misconduct and questioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), for not investigating the matter.
In response, the All Progressives Congress (APC), dismissed the allegations, with its Director of Media and Publicity, Steve Otaloro, stating that Isaac had no direct role in budget formulation.
The APC maintained that the contested provisions were essential for security and public welfare.
