OKOOO......APC chieftain urges Buhari to stop giving bailout funds to states

hehehe....“A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Bauchi State, Ibrahim Lame, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari against giving bailout funds to state governments. Lame, a former Minister of Police Affairs, who gave this charge on Tuesday in an interview with newsmen in Bauchi, claimed that instead of using the bailout funds to settle outstanding salaries, the governors divert the money for other purposes, thereby making life miserable for civil servants.


He also urged the Federal Government to set up liaison offices in all the states of the federation so that it could directly execute projects that would impact positively on the citizens rather than doling out such huge money to the governors, whom he alleged pump half of it in their security votes.

Lame argued, “as a president, you are not supposed to give bailouts to states, you are supposed to bail out the economy.
“Let the governors go and fulfill their campaign promises. They should look inwards and look for money because there were problems in the economy when they came in.
“What the President should have done was to look at which aspect of the economy he should revive.”
He urged the citizens to give the government the needed support to be able to bring the change it promised.
