Cross River Local Government Elections: Before Our Funds Are Looted Dry By Citizen Agba Jalingo | Sahara Reporters ...What is clear is that they want to move as much money as possible before the LG elections. senatorbenayade READ MORE:
The administration of Governor Ben Ayade met elected chairmen in office for five months before their tenure elapsed. But very uncharacteristically of Cross River State, the governor only bowed to pressure to conduct local government elections after five years into his own administration. Now he has fixed a tentative date in March 2020.
These corrupt schemes that deliver these monies back to governors are expected to be shrouded and defended by all chairmen unless the ones that want to lose the office; so no governor wants to have an outlaw LG chairman from another political party. N2.5 is deducted every month from each of the 18 LGs for what they call security coverage. This deduction has been done till February 2020. What it is being used for is what is still not clear.Cross River Future Generation Fund - N1m per LGA.Each LGA was also, through a letter from the Ministry of Local Governments, directed to pay N12m from their capital votes to the Ministry of Environment for undisclosed reasons.
This year 2020 again, dissatisfied politicians and civil servants, some of who have worked and retired, some of who say they are tired of being used as conduits to perpetrate corruption, have reliably informed yours sincerely that the Commissioner of Local Governments, Stella Odey has already wired N200,000 to each of the 18 LGAs to advertise jobs for contractors in journals to bid, under the Rural Roads and Infrastructure Development initiative of the governor.
