President Muhammadu Buhari has blasted governors for their unjust treatment of the administration at the local government level.
The President spoke from the heart after making his lecture at the Presidential Villa in Abuja for members of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) Senior Executive Course 44 (2022).
The President described dishonest activities performed by some Governors in dispensing monies designated for local council administrations by citing a personal experience involving an anonymous Governor.
He said it beats anyone’s imagination how some Governors would collect money on behalf of council areas in their States only to remit half to the council chairman, who would further deplete the remittance in further pilfering of public resources.
He related the situatuon to lack of integrity among many of those holding such offices.
Such actions, he said, are despicable and speak of the height of corruption in the country.
