He further added that, None of the G5 members in his party, the PDP has ever used local government allocation. In his statement, he challenged the President to name the governors that have used allocations;
Wike’s word, “I challenge Mr. President, you must come out and tell Nigerians those committing those offense. You, said the Governors are taking local government funds. I want to say, in the name of Almighty God, I’ve never touched local government funds one day . I have never and I have no reason to do that. “
He further added that; “ so Mr president, tell us who are those people ? You know them, tell us.
… do us a favour announce all those states that are taking taking local government funds.”
These oil states compromises of ; Abia State, Delta State, Akwa Ibom State, Edo State, Cross River State, Ondo State, Imo State, Rivers Statement and Bayelsa State.
