PDP Blasts Gov. Nwifuru For Spending Billions On Welcoming Tinubu’s Wife, Frivolous Projects While Teachers Are Hungry

By Wisdom Nwedene , Abakaliki

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State has berated the APC - led government of Ebonyi state over the government's penchant for spending Ebonyi people's money on frivolities - things that don't matter to the Ebonyi society for now, whereas the major areas that need urgent attention have been either completely abandoned or treated with levity.

In a statement issued on behalf of the party by a social media influencer and a media consultant, Mr Nwoba Chika Nwoba said PDP has watched the government of Ebonyi State under Governor Nwifuru recently and currently spending billions on frivolous projects and the one that just took place which is the hosting of the wife of the president of Nigeria is more disturbing.

He further said PDP doesn't have a problem with hosting the president's wife, but with the amount of public money that was sunk into it when the people of the state groan in hunger and abject poverty.

Mr. Nwoba revealed that the government is yet to pay teachers in Ebonyi state their October salaries despite being in the middle of the month of November, 2024.

The statement reads,

"The People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State uses this opportunity to berate the APC - led government of Ebonyi state over the government's penchant for spending Ebonyi people's money on frivolities - things that don't matter to the Ebonyi society for now, whereas the major areas that need urgent attention have been either completely abandoned or treated with levity."

"We have watched the government recently and currently spend billions on these frivolous projects and the one that just took place which is the hosting of the wife of the president of Nigeria is more disturbing. We don't have problem with hosting the president's wife, but with the amount of public money that was sunk into it when the people of the state groan in hunger and abject poverty."

"It bothers a sane mind a great deal to know that the government could recommission an airport project that had already been commissioned two years ago. Using the face of the president's wife as a decoy to embark on the wasteful and theatric outing is what we frown at, more so as the government is yet to pay teachers in the state their October salaries yet in the middle of the month of November, 2024. This is a case of government's inhumanity to its populace."

"It's on this premise and more that we urge the government to backtrack from wasteful expenditures and begin to meet the people of the state at the points of their collective needs. It's alarming also to note that the people of Ebonyi don't feel the impacts of government yet in the face of the fiscal abundance the government swims in. The PDP in Ebonyi is bothered about all these inglorious events taking shape in the state and charges the administration of Gov. Nwifuru to rise to the mandate of tackling the immediate needs of the state and her people in this time of great economic distress."

Ebubu9 please come and explain why the waste in welcoming T wife .if you add pain na you sabi

This is the worse Governor of Ebonyi State

Which PDP?

Congratulations to him.

Can we have the exact figure of the amount spent and complete breakdown?

If pdp can't do this, the useless party should stfu or continue to bulshit itself for the viewing pleasure of unintelligent ipob miscreants who usually jump at unsubstantiated reports like this because of Tinubu.

Idiot governor

Timid bushman na timid bushman. The kind of successors APC governors usually install after themselves.

Nothing to see here, just politicians being politicians..

Billion ke? Everybody should rest abeg

Nwoba Chika Ndo ooo.
Hope you remember how your brother dey spend money during Burial ceremonies? Abeg leave Nwifuru to spend money to welcome Firstlady.

Another dancing governor.

Because it's a Yoruba first lady.

Checkwell:
Another dancing governor.

He's definitely better than Ademola Adeleke.

I don't understand.


You would not have had problem if its ATIKU wife right?



Nigerian opposition and stupidity.

Na so APC stupid too while in opposition

Did these local idiots who call themselves Pdp take permission from Wike before writing this rubbish?

You dey whine??

A whole first lady.

You want make Tinubu withold FAAC allocation?

Southeast is cursed with bad governors

That's pathetic if he actually spent that kind of money to welcome anyone.
The only problem is that you can't believe everything you read from these desperate politicians.

It's politics.
Nwifuru is strategising for '27

Billions? PDP and lies are like 5 and 6 🤣 is it must to speak as an opposition if you don't have any meaningful thing to say

This behavior is absolutely unacceptable and goes against basic human dignity. It must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

That guy is a confused leader. Doesn't even know his left and right

wasting of public fund is normal in Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

That so much confused man is about taking ebonyi back to the days of btheir great-grandfathers, the ex pauper picked from the street is about returning ebonyi back as abakaleke people

Hope you are not referring to our governor as a bushman.
Just so you know, your place of origin doesn't matter when you're on the path of divine breakthrough.
Eze si na Chi.
A son of a palmwine tapper can rise to greater heights.
It will not be the children of the elites always.

These ones are yet to get the memo.
Fyi, Tinubu is the leader of both the ruling and the opposition party in Nigeria today.
No governor dare raise any eyebrows against him. All those noise Seyi Makinde was making was just for the camera. He's a loyal Tinubu boy. Same goes for Bauchi, Kano and Plateau state.
Less i forget, Alex Otti sef can't dare cos he also owe Tinubu lots of gratitude.

Why osimeh score hatrick yesterday the guy na beast

NgeneUkwenu:
Which PDP?

If PDP has the evidence that billions were spent to host T wife, they should produce it to the public.

I said this bcoz political actors can never ever be trusted. They know when to play politics to get public sympathy.

Allegations should be evidence based. Until PDP produce evidence, I reject the write up.

For where him score the hat-trick, werey?!

So T-Pain wife collected transport money from Ebonyi state governor

This is the worse Governor of Ebonyi State and if EFCC is serious, he should be placed on Watchlist.
