A former vice president of Nigerian Political Science Association, Professor Sani Fage, has criticised the aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party, also known as G-5 governors, for their frequent trips to foreign countries to hold meetings.
Fage, who is a Professor of Political Science, said it would amount to abuse of office and betrayal of public trust if the money used for their current trips for political meeting was from their various state coffers.
Speaking in an interview with Saturday PUNCH, Fage stated that such funds should have been channelled towards the development of their states.
He said, “This is simply wasting of state resources on political jamboree and it’s wrong. They (G-5 governors) are trying to pursue their own personal interest and in doing this, they use the state resources at their disposal.
