First to comment

will end up in pockets

I was told he used the funds for something else. People spread false news anyhow,thank God for this post. God bless EEU.

I just hope other state governors will emulate delta state governor by ensuring that the monies are been used for the purpose they are meant for.

Is good to hear,but he should check mate the committee members to avoid fraudulent act. The funds should get down to the flood victims and not their pockets. I know the governor has good intention.
