Some members of the public
have criticized Local
Government Chairmen in
Edo State for allegedly
expending eighteen million
Naira to purchase Prado Jeeps as official vehicles. Efosa Uwangue however quotes
the State Chairman of
Association of Local Government
of Nigeria, ALGON as saying that
the allegation is untrue. Information emanating from some
quarters alleged that each of
the local government chairmen in
Edo State paid the some of
eighteen million Naira to acquire
Prado Jeeps as their official vehicles. The information has however
attracted reactions from some
members of the public who
claimed that the amount is far
too exorbitant to be splashed on
only one Prado Jeep. The respondents said the local
government chairmen ought to
have expended the said amount
on basic amenities in their areas
instead of spending it on such a
luxury. Reacting, the Chairman of ALGON,
Edo State and Chairman, Ikpoba
Okha Local Government Council,
Mrs. Itohan Osahon Ogbeide who
spoke in a telephone interview
said there is no iota of truth in the allegation stressing that it
was not up to the amount
people are speculating. She stressed that the chairmen
needed to have been
commended for performing
creditably within a spate of four
months. However, it is obvious that the
issue of the eighteen million Naira
for Prado Jeep will continue to
generate reactions and counter
reactions among stakeholder for
many months to come.

...thats why i still prefer PDP to this APC megalomaniacs,pretenders,desperados and squanderers!the old adage'the devil you know is better than an angel you do nt know.

But they've denied it, according to the ALGON chairman quoted, the amount wasnt up to 18m! Lets say it was a mere 15m, and like she said, we are all supposed to be thankful afterall they've done creditably well by their own wretched standards.
APC, THE CHANGE WE ALL DESIRE!

My broda u dnt seem to get me what is on paper says the money is 18m and she was saying the money is just 10m.How many lecturals can boost of such amount of money in a year,why just a mere local govt. chairman can buy a prado jeep of 18m in just 4months of asumption into office when the roads in her local govt. Is begging for repair.

Is this reason why they are demanding for autonomy? I beginning to give up on this country...Today it is police killing innocent and unarmed Nigerian, tomorrow it is the relocation of Nigerians against their wish, next tomorrow it is 5 greater than 32 and next tomorrow again its building a sub-standard bridge for 3 billion naira...All effort of those with the constitutional privilege is aimed to impoverish the already malnourished masses.
