State governors are still spending billions of naira from public funds on foreign trips in the name of seeking foreign investors, despite the cash crunch facing their states.

Some of them, whom are still owing up-to 3 to 5 months workers' salaries expended state funds on junketing around the whole in search of foreign investors.

Investors since May 29 when they came to office.

The governors, usually with large entourage that include close aides and family members, spend fortune from their cash-strapped treasuries on first class airlines tickets, luxury hotels, estacodes, among others.



Among the most traveled governors are:

Nasiru el-Rufai (Kaduna), United Kingdom, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, China and France

Great..please add Fayose = China * 30 days

Take a closer look at the names and states of those governors, though they are from different parts of the country, But they have one thing in common... They are all APC governors. Even their dull leader Buhari is the most travelled president in the world, And all these frivolous trips are courtesy of tax payers' money.

and no plane crash

Keneking:
Great..please add Fayose = China * 30 days

Fayose went to China alone. You have nothing on Fayose.

And my beloved working Governor obiano is not on that despicable ajala list

Ohammadike:
