The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State has berated the All Progressives Congress, (APC) government in the state for spending taxpayers’ money on frivolities.
The party expressed dismay that the major areas that need urgent attention have been completely abandoned or treated with levity by the state government.
A statement issued on Saturday by the PDP chieftain, Mr Nwoba Chika Nwoba, said the government of Ebonyi State under Governor Francis Nwifuru has been spending billions on frivolous projects, the most recent being the hosting of the wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
He further said PDP doesn’t have a problem with hosting the President’s wife, but with the amount of public money that was sunk into it when the people of the state groan in hunger and abject poverty.
Nwoba revealed that the government is yet to pay teachers in Ebonyi State their October salaries despite being in the middle of the month of November 2024.
The statement reads, “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State uses this opportunity to berate the APC-led government of Ebonyi State over the government’s penchant for spending Ebonyi people’s money on frivolities – things that don’t matter to the Ebonyi society for now, whereas the major areas that need urgent attention have been either completely abandoned or treated with levity.
