He wrote, “The President should have the courage to specifically mention those governors pocketing LG allocations rather than timid generalisation.”

His challenge comes on the heel of Buhari’s revelation that some state governors remitted half of the funds allotted to local governments in their states.

He said, “Governors and local government officials who ‘pocket’, according to the President, public monies are to blame for the stalled development at the local governments.”

However, the 36 governors in the country have not made their position on the development known.
