Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has stated that massive funds are coming to states under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, urging governors to stop claiming there is no money available.

According to the governor, the issue is no longer about lack of funds, but about how the money is used.

Abia State government left the group chat

You are clueless like the president.... What are you using the money to do?..

Are you bettering the lives of Deltans?? Evil wicked politicians

So what has he done for his state despite this confession
All the Delta roads and public infrastructure still remain a mess like it was with his boss and predecessor
These folks say these things cause they know Nigerians are docile

Of course. Tinubu takes money out of the pockets of struggling Nigerians via taxation and hands it over to governors with immunity. He then turns around and asks the citizens to hold the governors accountable. Everyone who opposed the removal of subsidy argued that it would just be more of the same and nothing will change. They have been proven right. Nigerians were better of with subsidy. Now, it's just governors enjoying the largesse and people still wonder why they are all defecting to APC.

The opposition supporters are not interested in holding their state governors accountable. Na presidency be their problem

Nigerians were not better off with subsidy Even today petrol price in cotonou is 1800 naira equivalent
Any Nigerian living there will tell you Nigerian petrol is sold openly there in kegs

If you can bribe customs officials imagine even300 naira on 1 truck of 33000 litres
That is 10 million on one truck

It id not possible to manage the subsidy with that kind of margin across the border

Thats why they are decamping to APC...fuel subsidy awoof

Lazy man as usual must always find something or someone to blame.

Who asked you for all these shalaye on top 30k

What have you done with your own...... no be to dey talk, show workings

It's inflation and not more money sir. During pdp hilux could be gotten for 15m. How much is hilux right now?

It's inflation. It doesn't translate to more money

Ogun State is not feeling it. Dapo Abiodun is leading looters

A desperate move to secure another term

A desperate move to secure another term

A desperate move to secure another term


I will surely witness the fall of APC amen

Delta state is soo unlucky to have this Friday Ani boy as governor.....

One may be tempted to call the Delta State Governor's assertion as a Freudian slip but, it's nothing but the truth.

Tinubu continues to receive undue criticisms for everything that is not working in Nigeria whereas the State Governors should be held responsible.

If the State Governors are working in tandem with the Federal Government, things won't be this difficult for the average Nigerian.

State Governments are receiving times three from the FAAC monthly yet, majority of them have little to show for it.

So, instead of holding State Governors accountable for their lackluster performances, Nigerians would prefer to heap all the blames on the usual fall guy, Tinubu!




@hotseat

Otti should be thankful to Tinubu for sending triple allocation to Abia State for him to use for the road constructions he is doing. Every time you praise Otti, also thank Tinubu, the generator of the funds. Any gov that is not working now will never work under any gov. See why it's good to have a competent person as president. He did not generate for Lagos alone but for the whole 36 states all at the same time. That means developments all over at once. If this continues for the next 5 years, imagine what Nigeria will become. It is my patriotic duty to make sure this performance continues.

@hotseat

There is no smoke without fire 🔥🔥🔥, the reason why the State Governors are not working with the money given to them is because the money has no accountability value, is just to lure them to his desires....

Any State Governor that wants to work genuinely for his State can never do it because of any other reasons but for the interest of his masses to benefit without having the hook of FG on him to deliver his State ...

Why do you think there is massive defection

Be there expecting the Governors to work......when they know the price tag of the money given to them...

The money is for something else not for the masses .
