Minister of Information Mohammed Idris made significant revelations during his appearance on the “Brekete Family Show.” His discussion revealed a number of previously hidden details about the distribution of funds across different levels of government in Nigeria.

Idris addressed a common misconception about the allocation of funds, clarifying that the money does not belong solely to the federal government. He explained that funds are shared among the federal, state, and local governments. In his comments, he questioned whether the collective funds received by governors and President Bola Tinubu had increased and urged people to consider the money allocated to state and local governments.

The Minister challenged the notion that President Tinubu is solely responsible for funding local infrastructure projects. He emphasized that responsibilities such as repairing gutters, schools, and hospitals fall under the purview of state governments. Additionally, he pointed out that the federal government provides supplementary financial support to governors beyond their regular monthly allocations.

Idris revealed that since December, governors have received over 570 billion naira in additional support from the federal government. This substantial amount is intended to assist states in managing various projects and responsibilities.

The Minister’s statements, shared on the official Instagram page of the “Brekete Family Show,” have sparked widespread reactions from the public. The revelations have fueled discussions about the allocation and management of government funds.

Hear him: “In this our constitution, the money doesn’t belong only to the federal government. Federal Government have their shares, State Government have their shares and Local Government also have their own shares.

Did the money of all the Governors that came together with President Ahmed Bola Tinubu increase or it did not?.

Everybody is saying President Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, what of the money that is going to the State and Local Government, why don’t you ask questions. To fix gutters, to fix small schools, to fix small hospitals, nah President Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu go do that one again?. The State government is responsible for all these things.

The Federal Government also supports the Governors with funds aside the monthly payment. From December till now, the Governors have received over 570 billion naira, just additional support”.

“No Valid Reason For Sacking Me As Minister”– Gwarzo Reveals What Tinubu Told Him

“No Valid Reason For Sacking Me As Minister”– Gwarzo Reveals What Tinubu Told Him
Spread the love

 

Ekwutosblog has gathered that the immediate former Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Abdullahi Gwarzo, has revealed that his dismissal by President Bola Tinubu was politically motivated rather than due to any shortcomings in his ministerial performance.

The former minister added that the President should have chosen the 2023 All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Kano State, Nasiru Gawuna, as his replacement.

This follows the appointment of Yusuf Ata as the new minister.

In a State House release on October 23, 2024, Tinubu dismissed Gwarzo along with four others, including the Minister of Women Affairs, Uju-Ken Ohanenye; Minister of Tourism, Lola Ade-John; Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman; and the Minister of Youth Development, Dr Jamila Bio Ibrahim.

However, in an interview with BBC Hausa on Saturday, November 9, 2024, Gwarzo stated, “I was surprised because I wasn’t found guilty of any wrongdoing or poor performance. And I was minister of state, with the senior minister overseeing a large portion of the ministry’s activities.

“Before the announcement, the President had informed me of his decision.

“He said Kano North was overloaded with political officers, hence the need to strike a balance. We gave our advice, but it was ignored. From there, I began to suspect that certain individuals were behind this because, to me, that wasn’t a valid reason.”

The former minister remarked that Gawuna, as the party’s leader in Kano Central, should be considered for the ministerial position.

“If the ministerial slot is indeed meant for Kano Central, we have our 2023 governorship candidate, who is also our leader in Kano Central. Why not consider giving him the position?

“Gawuna should be offered the role first, unless he declines, in which case it could be given to someone else.

“All other candidates from Plateau and Zamfara states who contested for the governorships were appointed to positions,” Gwarzo added.
