DELTA 2015: Female Guber Aspirant Accused of Financial Fraud

Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Juliet Olejeme

***Clerics Raise Alarm over Unfulfilled Pledges by NSITF Chairman, Ngozi Olejeme

Several Church leaders in Delta State, especially the Catholic and the Anglican denominations, have raised alarm over unfulfilled donations and pledges made to their parishes by a frontline politician and Executive Chairman, Nigeria Social Insurance and Security Trust Fund (NSITF), Dr. (Mrs.) Ngozi Olejeme.

In the past three months, monetary donations, which Olejeme pledged for pastoral activities to over 30 churches in the three Senatorial Districts of Delta State, are yet to be fulfilled to the churches.

According to a leader of one of the churches, Prince James Obi, the churches are already worried that several months after such pledges were made they were yet to be redeemed, especially as those who represented the top politician in such functions no longer responded to phones calls both from leaders and priests of the parishes in question.
As a result, James alleged that either those who represented Dr. Olejeme in making the pledges in such church functions were playing politics with the pledges in the houses of God or that they had taken the money for themselves.

Investigations have further shown that already some of the priests from the affected parishes, who have made frantic efforts to get such pledges redeemed, were fast losing their patience, as nobody seemed to be ready to address their complaints.

However, efforts made to reach Olejeme via short service message to comment on the matter were not successful as at press time.
