Ex-Abia State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Don Ubani, says local governments in the state have been hijacked.
Speaking on ‘The Morning Brief’, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST on Wednesday, Ubani said local governments’ funds do not get to the councils.
The former commissioner was speaking on issues concerning governance in Abia State.
“Nothing is happening in Abia State. The local governments have been hijacked, their funds don’t get to the council.
“That’s why as we speak now, the High Court in Okwa West LGA has been overgrown by weeds to the extent that workers in the court have threatened to get relocation to Aba.
“This is because the council has no money to clear the weeds in and around the court. This is the governor that know that constitutionally speaking, the positions of Permanent Secretary are political,” he said.
