‘They can’t even provide streetlights’ – Sabinus tackles LG chairmen over allocations [VIDEO]

Nigerian comedian Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, known as Sabinus, has raised questions regarding the use of monthly allocations granted to local government chairmen.

In a video posted to his Instagram account on Thursday, Sabinus urged Nigerians to pay closer attention to the activities of elected officials at the grassroots level. He expressed concern about the deteriorating infrastructure in various communities across the South-South region, despite the financial resources allocated to local governments.

The comedian, a native of Port Harcourt, criticized the inability of some local government chairmen to provide basic amenities, such as streetlights, in their jurisdictions.

“In a serious discussion, I pondered a pressing issue. How many of you have asked our local government chairmen, councilors, and even state and national representatives what is happening to the funds they receive monthly?” he asked during the video.

Using Rivers State as an example, Sabinus noted that the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) is accomplishing more in certain areas than some state governments. “The NDDC is even doing more than some state governments in this South-South. Local government chairmen cannot provide streetlights on some streets in their own local government,” he stated.
