BREAKING: You Will Give Account At Kirikiri Prison If You Give Money To Governor— Buhari To Local Government Chairman

The statement that was posted by a staunch supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari and APC Chieftain, Joe Igbokwe on his Facebook page said any local government council chairman that is found culpable of handing over funds to the state governor will give account at EFCC or Kirikiri maximum prison.

" You people are just wasting your time, We have sent money directly to Local Government Account this week. And if you like, withdraw the money from that account and hand over to your Governor, you will give account of it properly at EFCC or Kirikri Maximum Prison. " President Buhari said.

The statement came amidst the call for restructuring and devolution of power among the three tiers of government. The president Muhammadu Buhari administration had said through the Attorney General of the federation, Abubakar Malami that what restructuring means to the administration is the functionality of all democratic structures.

The presidency had berated the state governors for stifling local government and state judiciary by starving them of funds needed to perform optimally. Buhari has said that he takes responsibility for anything over which he presided during his military rule, and that he cannot change the past. He has described himself as a " converted democrat" .
