Onuesoke to SERAP: Follow due process in your request vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
SERAP, a non-governmental organisation had asked the governor of Delta State to disclose details of the budgetary allocations and actual spending by the government to provide access to free and quality primary school education between 2015 and 2019. The group had also given the governor a seven-day ultimatum to, upon which, appropriate legal actions would be instigated by SERAP.
Reacting to the demand and ultimatum, the chieftain described SERAP’s ultimatum and threat as giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it, disclosing that majority of Delta State public schools are in very good state compared to whatever exists anywhere in Nigeria.
“Besides, it looks as if SERAP does not do a thorough investigation before embarking on its demand and threat. If it did, the group would have discovered that primary school management is funded directly from Abuja revenue allocation to the LGAs. “Go and check your records, primary schools are under SUBEB management which are the responsibilities of the LGAs, while secondary schools are managed by PPEB which are funded by the state government.
“SERAP should summon the LGA chairmen in Delta state and indeed all other states for accountability. I thought they should wisely collapse their demand into the quest to restructure Nigeria so that the states should take over full management of their states and LGAs ,” he argued.

Okowa Tells SERAP: Your Ultimatum Is Nonsense And Pure Blackmail... We Will Not Respond | Sahara Reporters'We have a House of Assembly. Those are the ones that should be giving Governor ultimatum in the first place, because the House of Assembly represents the people but when somebody else comes from somewhere, we don’t even know those who constitute them. Have they spoken to anybody? Have they come here to talk to us? Before you give ultimatum, you must first of all show what effort you have made to say I went to this man, he didn’t answer me. How do you just go to the media and give us ultimatum in the media? And you expect us to jump? We don’t even know who is giving the ultimatum.'
