Ebonyi State House of Assembly has approved over N1.6bn for Governor Dave Umahi to bankroll exit packages for stakeholders.

The approval is coming just a few days to the expiration of Umahi’s tenure.

DAILY POST reports that the approval of the said sum, was debated upon on the floor of the House by members led by the Deputy Speaker, Kinsley Ikoro, representing Afikpo North West Constituency.

The leader of the State House of Assembly, Victor Chukwu, representing Ezza North West Constituency, who spoke to newsmen shortly after the house sitting, said the approval of the said fund was for the interest of the citizens of the state and not for the governor.

According to him: “We only approved a fund for an exit package, which is targeted at appreciating those who have worked with the governor. It is a welfare package for the citizens of the state.

“It is an extension of the empowerment program that the governor has been doing and there is nothing new about it. The fund wasn’t approved for him as a governor but for the interest of Ebonyi citizens. We only approved one billion, six hundred million,” he stated.

It was gathered that the members of the house, equally confirmed the appointment of four commissioner nominees, that was sent to them by the governor.

The commissioner nominees include; Emeka Nwode from Ikwo LGA, Enekwachi Akpa from Ohaozara LGA, Obianuju Alo from Ishielu LGA and one other whose name is yet to be identified at the time of filing this report.

Stupidity, wickedness and grediness runs in Nigeria politicians vein.
Money and wealth they and their children will definitely die and leave. Money they would have used to develop and empowered the citizens in the state.

Well, underneath most Nigeria politicians are one and the same.

He did well on infrastructure but you see the greediness of an average person is still in him. For someone who is retiring in the senate, the retirement package is large

We only approved 1.6B while minimum wage is 30k. Make una dey check.

“We only approved one billion, 600 million.”

Imagine the amount of money he’s putting only to. That’s should tell you it’s chicken change to what they are used to embezzling.

Meanwhile, those that were appointed commissioners, how long are they going to be commissioners? If na me I no go accept o.

In a state with the lowest human capital development in the South East and sees nothing wrong with their youths being ready recruits for farm hands in the South East and South South or hawking in several towns and cities across Nigeria.

They are known for rice cultivation, instead of Umahi to invest the N1.6bn into procuring more tractors rather than their farmers manually tilling the land, he prefers using it to settle his loyalists.
