Buhari has blasted state governors<\/a> for their unjust treatment of the administration at the local government level.<\/p>\nWhile speaking on Friday during the inauguration of Mgbuoalimini internal roads in Rumueme Kingdom, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, Wike and Ortom said they were not involved in such criminality.<\/p>\n
Wike said: \u201cI want to say this to Mr. President, you are a leader and we believe as a leader you must come out and tell Nigerians those committing this offence. You said the governors are taking local government funds. I want to say in the name of Almighty God, I have never touched local government funds one day. I have no need to do that.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, Mr. President who are those people? You know them. Tell us. It is not good to say (what we call class defamation) \u2018governors\u2019. I am not one of them. Please spare me and tell Nigerians that the Integrity Governors are not part of them. We have integrity. We are not part of them. Do us a favour to announce those states taking local government money.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince 2015 till now I have never, I will not have any reason to do it. When I was a chairman under Dr. Peter Odili, he never touched one naira of local government funds. Nobody touched my funds. So, why will I begin to touch other people\u2019s funds? Remove the integrity governors. We are men of honour. We will not touch. But announce those who are touching.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us not be generalising things. It is not good for this country. That is why the country is not growing. If someone has done bad say so. Don\u2019t say people are doing bad. Who are those doing that bad. Mention their names.<\/p>\n
\u201cI, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, Commander of Order of the Niger, Grand Service Star of Rivers State, life bencher, I have never and I will not touch any local government money. I don\u2019t even know what they get a month. I don\u2019t give a damn.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have never one day called any local government to partner with State to execute any project. Ordinarily, some of these projects we are doing ought to be local government projects. Let one council chairman raise his hands and say \u2018sir our money came yesterday, you tampered with our money\u2019. Mr. President I know you are a leader and that you will mention names. It doesn\u2019t matter the party they belong to\u201d.<\/p>\n
Ortom joined Wike to commend President Buhari but quickly asked him to name the Governors stealing local government funds.<\/p>\n
He called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to probe his administration in Benue on local government funds<\/p>\n
He said when the Federal Government enacted an instrument on local government autonomy, monies were paid directly to individual councils in Benue.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI join Wike to appreciate Mr. President for his contribution to growth. But I know that many people are frustrating him. Some of his ministers and advisers are advising him wrongly. It is a logical fallacy to say that all governors are criminals, all governors are stealing from the local government.<\/p>\n
\u201cI join governor Wike to say that since 2015, let EFCC come in, let ICPC come and every other agency that can unearth this as far as Benue State is concerned let them come. There is no point generalising. I don\u2019t do it. I don\u2019t like. When the federal government enacted something and say local government should have financial autonomy from that day all monies are paid to the local government.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll monies go to the individual councils. In my own case pensioners and those that own gratuities are members of the joint council of local government. So they appropriate the money the way they want it. Since 2015 I have operated an elected local government system. I have no authority over them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf not because he is the President and anything the President says we are bound to respect I would said he was wrong. But it is important to point out to him that some of us are not involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cI join Governor Wike to say bring out those state governors, who take part of the local government money and pocket for themselves. I think it is just fair and equitable that you do that so that everybody will know what is happening in our country\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
