80 New Vehicles Bought With Public Funds Delivered To APC Loyalists In Wike’s FCT –Report

Monitng, a civic technology platform, has voiced concerns over the distribution of public funds in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), highlighting the need for fair and transparent use of resources.

The platform’s founder, Ilevbaoje Uadamen, on Friday, said projects funded by taxpayers should not favour political loyalists over the broader community.

The recent allocation of N10 billion by the Federal Government for youth empowerment in the FCT has come under scrutiny after Monitng’s tracking indicated that 80 new vehicles were distributed to APC party loyalists.

“Public funds should never be a vehicle for rewarding party loyalists at the expense of the common good,” Uadamen stated.

He added, “Taxpayers’ money is a shared resource, meant to serve all citizens fairly, not to advance personal glory or political agendas.”

Addressing the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, Uadamen urged that “taxpayer-funded projects should not favour a selected few.”

He emphasised, “Citizens' participation in project implementation is essential to ensure their needs are met.”

The statement by Monitng underscores the importance of equitable resource allocation and advocates for citizen involvement in public project oversight to guarantee transparency and fair benefits across the FCT.

“We acknowledge the Federal Government's allocation of ₦10 billion for youth empowerment in the FCT. However, our tracking revealed that 80 new vehicles were delivered to APC party loyalists,” it added.

Tinubu Yoruba government na scam.

The public are not bothered.........The public are dead already so any Govt official can do anyhow they want with the public funds.

Govt officials have spent times 20 of that amount for their selfish Aggrandizement and the public are as static as a dummy watching...

A public that watch sheepishly as their President increase their fuel pump price 4 times in one year.....Is that one a Public??

There is no Public anywhere in Nigeria let alone Public fund.

Nigerians will just shout for few days and it's all over. Abeg are you buying fuel for them too wike?

..parapoism cum Tinubulation..

. Hellanuis..has Wike dashed you a car..? at least you can shout toh to hell..

T-pain

They should have gone to the streets to share the vehicles. Nonsense!

So? As long as those vehicles are put to good use, it is no big deal.

Please check if those loyalists are Nigerians or Nigeriens.
If they are Nigeriens Wike deserved to be stoned. If they are Nigerians, we will give you Wikes position and see if your friends will not benefit from you before deciding on what to do with Wike.

Government of the people, for the people and by the people.

Hellanus yarimo and vulture seller

What is the good use the vehicles will be put to?

Cronyism on steroids.

Use Nigerian Tax payers money to compensate APC loyalists who helped in Rigging 2023 elections
That's not even the problem, the problem is they might end up selling those vehicles to buy a bag of rice if this hunger regime continues

They should share their data to conclusively prove that the 80 recipients are exclusively APC loyalists. However it must be said also that provided the loyalists-so called, cut across all regions and ethnicities of Nigeria, then there is no legal ground for complaints. Loyalists are Nigerian citizens after all.

Noted.

Wike is doing great job.

We know he will put the peoples interest first at the end of the day.

Nawa o where i never see food chop today and i be citizen of this country

That not fair oga Wike. APC loyalist who happen to be citizens of another country . So the vehicle will also convey only APC loyalist. Una Dey m@d

Before nko?

Ayam no understanding, who dem suppose give? Obidients?

The small minister dem give Ojukwu wife, Igbos and obidients say she should return it.

I m not Wike's fans, maybe he the vehicle to people that won't reject it

You have a problem. Of all the issues bothering FCT, the important thing is to dash loyalists vehicles. Abuja lacks mass transit bus, which leads to one chance thriving. The over inflated cost they would have put down for those 80 vehicles can buy 20 coaster bus to help ease transportation at an affordable rate since most people live far away from their place of work.

Once again you have a problem.

Nawa o

Chai! Government is now all about political patronage and not qualitive performance. Too bad! So sad.
