For the past 2 years and more particularly in the course of
the past 12 months, all semblance of civil governance has collapsed in the
three States in Nigeria’s Northeastern Zone, to wit: Bornu, Yobe and Adamawa –
yet, in a reality that defies logic, these 3 States have not failed to come
forward and claim their own shares of financial allocations from the monthly
monetary bazaar known as the Fiscal Allocation.
Pray, what have the Governors of these 3 States (Kashim Shettima {Bornu}, Murtala Nyako {Adamawa} and Ibrahim Geida {Yobe}and their associates) where the activities of Boko Haram has effectively made a greater part of the zone inaccessible to all but security operatives and military forces, been doing with the several Billions they have collected? No infrastructural works, no agricultural engagements, nothing! Yet these guys shamelessly keep on coming to Abuja to collect huge sums on a monthly basis.
It appears that more people than meets the eye have vested interests in the endless continuation of the lawlessness and terror pervading our Northeast zone.With the 'State of Emergency in these area now converted into a ceaseless source of loot, one really fears that the war against terror in our Northeast zone may never end.
Let's restructure and renegotiate the contraption to stem the horrendous thievery in the name of governance.
