Following the revelations made today, Tuesday, 7th January, 2025, by the Governor of Edo state, on how the impeached Chairmen of Local Governments in Edo state have spent N12 Billion naira of people's fund in servicing some leaders of a political party, the Chairman, Esan Central Local Government, ECLG, area, Rt. Hon. Kelvin Iyere Ainiyanlenhimi, in an exclusive chat with Winning Media Online, has described the actions of the suspended Chairmen as insane, inexplicable and worrisome.
Rt. Hon. Kelvin Iyere said; "The local government tier of government, is the closest to the people at the grassroots, as such, the people should feel more, the positive impacts of the Chairmen, but in a situation where they turned the local government to a conduit pipe for siphoning the people's commonwealth to private pockets, it leaves much to be desired. That action by the former Chairmen is inexplicable".
Continuing, Hon. Iyere who said, Twelve Billion Naira, on a monthly basis, could have gone a long way in creating quality values for the people, just like the governor pointed out that most public schools lack adequate teachers, also added that, the new Chairmen will make a clear difference in local government administration, especially taking a cue from the exemplary practical governance of Senator Monday Okpebholo, the governor of Edo state.
Hon. Iyere, concluded by saying; "Esan Central local government area, will definitely take the lead in executing projects that will impart on the lives of the people. I am very sure of this".
