There is growing anxiety among local government workers in Delta State, particularly in Delta Central and South senatorial districts as speculations are mounting that some of the Transition Committee Chairmen have concluded plans to borrow money from banks.
Fresh Angle can exclusively report that the situation is so tense that it took the intervention of the State President of NULGE, Comrade David Ofoeyeno in collaboration with the branch executive of the union to halt clandestine moves by the Transition Committee Chairman of Warri North Local Government, Evangelist David Edun in connivance with the council’s Head of Personnel Management to plunge the council into debt by attempting to borrow money from bank.
Investigations reveal that some sister councils in Delta Central like Uvwie and Udu are already heavily indebted to banks, while a few others are perfecting strategies to borrow money from bank for recurrent expenditures and pecuniary gains without capital projects to show for it.
The Transition Committee Chairmen who were initially billed to stay in power for only six months have spent over a year in the councils, as indications are rife that they might even stay longer in power as the financial fortunes of the local government councils continue to dwindle following drop in the monthly federal allocation, with no clear statement from the councils on the amount derived as internally generated revenue and how they are expended.
