Shehu Sani, a former senator representing Kaduna central,
has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to list governors alleged to be pocketing
funds allocated to local governments.
Recall that Buhari, on Thursday, accused governors of
stealing LG allocations.
“If the monies from the federal government to state
governments is N100 million — let’s put it at N100 million — N50 million will
be sent to the chairman with a letter that he will sign that he received N100
million,” the president said.
“The governor will pocket the balance and share it with
whoever he wanted to and then the chairman of the local government will say how
much he must pay as salaries.
“To hell goes
development. Monies for the salaries will be given and the balance he will put
in his pocket.”
Reacting to the development in a Twitter post on Friday,
Sani said the president should “have courage” and name the governors found
culpable.
“The president should have the courage to specifically
mention those Governors “pocketing LG allocations” rather than timid
generalisation,” Sani tweeted.
