Na wetin we go talk this morning? Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum don pack plenty praise as him wan make local government finance straight like arrow. E don give order make local government funds from the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee go directly to the councils. This one no be small matter o!
Sam Onuigbo wey be ex-House of Representatives member, don yarn plenty laudatory words for Zulum. Him dey hail the governor for this correct move wey go make sure say local government chairpersons get their full power to carry grassroots development waka. You sabi say many governors dey chop allocation for their states, but this one wey Zulum do na big step toward transparency. Na wetin we dey call good governance!
Onuigbo no just stop for praise alone. Him talk say this decision go help President Bola Tinubu‘s restructuring packages enter ground well for the grassroots level. Na real gists wey dey give people hope for naija wey dey suffer sometimes. Zulum don set example wey other governors go dey follow like new trend for hustlers.
Accompanying the praise, na machine gun talk from Onuigbo as e remind us say democracy dey suffer for ground when governors dey control local government allocations. E say Zulum decision na the revival wey we dey need, and e dey make dem feel good say one governor don finally carry this matter for head.
As person wey don waka through political wahala, Onuigbo talk say him advocacy for local government autonomy no be small sacrifice. Him don pay price, but now na the time wey dem go fit prove as local government chairpersons. Omo! E dey talk say this na the chance wey them need to fight insecurity, youth wahala, and unemployment for their areas. Na the kind leadership wey we dey thirst for!
You no go believe how much Tinubu dey push governors make dem allow money trickle down to people wey dey ground. Wetin Naija dey fear pass na when democracy no dey fulfil him role and people no dey chop him dividends. Abeg, we dey pray for wisdom for Zulum make him fit continue this journey.
At the end of the day, Borno locals fit dey watch how their local government go dey operate with fresh funds wey go land directly to their pockets. Na only time go show wetin go happen, but for now, all eyes dey on Zulum and wetin e go do next. We go dey monitor am, make e no go turn to one small talk wey no go fit carry weight!
