Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State described as fake news allegations by the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Senator Jeremiah Useni that he diverted N20 billion meant for Internally Displaced Persons in the state.But Lalong who reacted while speaking with newsmen on Thursday in Jos said Useni’s allegations were totally false.
“For Useni who is a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to make an allegation that money was given to the state means they did not care to fight for the IDPs. Everything we are doing as regards IDPs is at our own level.“In other states, it is members of the National Assembly that are struggling for IDPs.
“I have not seen efforts from some of them in the state struggling for the IDPs instead they are beginning to take advantage of the people remaining in IDP camps,” he said. He said his administration has done its best to return the IDPs back to their ancestral homes and that the opposition is not happy they are relocating.
Lalong said Useni would have known as a senator if N20 billion was given to the state by the Federal Government.“It was only yesterday that I heard that there would be an intervention for states that were involved in conflict and I have told the people already.“If he has any proof let him bring it out for the people of the state to see,” he added.
