Opposition kicks as Bauchi governor lawmakers, budget N3.4 billions for fuel, travels

The opposition People’s Redemption Party (PRP) in Bauchi State has accused Governor Bala Muhammed and the state’s lawmakers of insensitivity for appropriating over N3.4bn for fueling vehicles and travels in the 2025 fiscal year.

The party’s spokesperson, Wada Abdullahi, in a statement on Friday, said it was time to interrogate the priorities of those in power and to hold them accountable.

“First, we take a hard look at the N1 billion earmarked for fuelling vehicles and generators for the government House. Half of this staggering amount, N500 million, is set aside for fuelling motor vehicles, while a parallel N500 million is allocated for fuelling generators.
