Buhari had earlier blamed governors for the under-development of communities at the council areas, claiming that governors were tampering with the monthly allocations to the local councils.
The president revealed this on Thursday at a parley with members of the Senior Executive Course No. 44 (2022) of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, held at the State House Banquet Hall, Abuja.
Reacting in Asaba through his Chief Press Secretary, Olisa Ifeajika, Okowa who is the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said it was unfortunate for the president to have made such a “blanket statement.”
