Bayelsa accuses APC of diverting FG flood palliatives

The Bayelsa State government has uncovered that a few individuals from the All Moderates Congress (APC) in the state are blamed for redirecting things sent by the Bureaucratic Service of Local Improvement as palliatives for flood casualties.

Mrs. Ebiowou Koku-Obiyai, the state’s Official for Data, Direction, and Methodology, made the declaration on Monday during a preparation on the palliatives got from the Central Government at the Public authority House in Yenagoa.

While Koku-Obiyai didn’t indicate the quantity of things purportedly redirected by APC individuals, she affirmed that the state got the provisions on Saturday of the earlier week and was presently illuminating the general population about the circumstance.

Among the things got by Bayelsa State were 2,000 packs of 50kg rice, six sacks of 50kg beans, 150 containers of spaghetti, 1,000 mosquito nets, 100 containers of tomato glue, and six sacks of cleanser.

Different supplies included 10 containers of washing cleanser, 20 sacks of salt, 20 containers of vegetable oil, 20 containers of sachet milk, and two containers of preparing blocks.

The state likewise got 50 cooking ovens, six crushing machines, six sewing machines, three cruisers, and four sacks of elastic shoes.

Koku-Obiyai expressed, “This is the very thing that we got as a state from the National Government.”

“Notwithstanding, data available to us has it that more things were brought into the state and were divided between APC partners. Yet, as an administration that is what we have gotten.

“Thus, the state ought to know since we are in a yuletide period and whenever from now the state government will be sharing a few palliatives to flood casualties and the weak individuals. Bayelsans might be thinking those things come from the things got.

“2,000 packs of rice isn’t even enough for a ward or electorate and that is the data we have assembled.”

Answering an inquiry, she said Bayelsa had before gotten N3 billion from the Central Government for flood casualties and that the cash was spent on appearances to flood-impacted networks and different IDP camps by connecting with them.

In any case, responding to the charge, the Associate Exposure Secretary of the Bayelsa State section of the APC, Mr Crowning celebration Tokpo, portrayed the claim as silly, saying that National Government palliatives are not shipped off ideological groups, but rather to states.

Tokpo expressed that before, APC individuals have been denied palliatives in light of the fact that the appropriation of palliatives has forever been finished along partisan principals in the state.
