Stop blaming Bomodeoku, others for your misfortunes in Madagascar – Leaders warn Awunah amid failure to win a single bid to host three regional events, hail African NSOs for rejecting Awunah’s plot to divert attention from his fraud with bids from Africa Scout Conference.
Scout Leaders from across Nigeria have warned the erstwhile Chief Commissioner of the Scout Association of Nigeria, Dave Awunah over what they termed smearing of a member of the West Africa scout Committee, Raji Bomodeoku over recent setbacks in his plot to win bids to host any regional event at the ongoing 19th Africa Scout Conference in Madagascar and ensure his partner, Ihemedu emerges the Chairperson of the Africa Scout Committee.
This is coming on the heels of the news that since Awunah’s defeat in Madagascar, he has resulted to blaming Raji Bomodeoku, a member of the West Africa Scout Committee for his losses by reporting him in bad faith to multiple WOSM officials and conference participants.
The statement added that it would be recalled that Awunah, who obviously lacks experience in organizing an annual general meeting with a fully documented minutes and reporting applied to host all three African events namely, Conference and Youth Forum and Jamboree, Africa Scout Day, an action that’s unprecedented for any country to claim to have capabilities to host all three events” This obvious abuse and lack of understanding of bidding process which later became an issue of international discussion contributed to Awunah’s downfall in Madagascar.
While Awunah’s team in Madagascar alleged that estranged leaders from Nigeria and particularly Bomodeoku influenced the outcome of the event in Madagascar by rallying African countries against Nigeria’s aspirations, Leaders who spoke on the issue criticized Awunah as a serial failure who did not only understand scouting, but lacks any credibility to lead following nationwide allegations of financial misappropriation and recent federal investigations that have caused him to be fleeing from law enforcement agencies.
Speaking on the issue, the International Commissioner, Dr Philip Soneye described Awunah’s action as irresponsible, maintaining that his failure in Madagascar shows that African countries are fully aware of his alleged crimes and his widespread rejection shows African solidarity with the Umar led Administration. He continued adding that while a few members of the Bureau may endorse Dave Awunah with the goal of pressuring him to organizing a fresh AGM, African Nations have started partnership discussions with the Umar led Administration.
Also speaking on the issue, Mr Kenneth Geoffrey lambasted Awunah as a failure, praising African nations for sending a clear message. He added that Awunah’s losses also shows that the conference fails to recognize his leadership and a direct vote of confidence on the Umar Muhammed led Administration.
Several other leaders who preferred anonymity advised Awunah to stop smearing Bomodeoku and face the reality that his strategy has tanked long ago and it was time to surrender to law enforcement for scrutiny and clear his name from the public perception of him as a dishonest politician.
They added that Awunah’s unsuccessful attempts to get a Nigerian as a member of the youth forum and his recent loss to host all three African events and plan to get Mr Ihemedu to become the Chairperson of the Africa Scout Committee amount to a global boycott of Awunah’s lies and propaganda on the country’s scouting.
They called on those following Awunah to leave before it’s too late as more institutional consequences such as those in Madagascar await them.
