  • The party also called on Bauchi residents to rise against the culture of impunity and demand better governance.

The Bauchi State chapter of the Peoples Redemption Party, (PRP) has berated the state government and house of assembly for proposing a budget of N3.4 billion for fueling and travel expenses in 2025.

In a statement issued by its State Secretary, Wada Abdullahi, and made available to WITHIN NIGERIA, the PRP condemned what it described as a “blatant disregard for the welfare of the citizens” by the government and legislators.

The statement detailed the allocation of N1 billion for fueling vehicles and generators at the Government House.

Out of this, N500 million is earmarked for motor vehicles and another N500 million for generators.

The PRP also raised alarm over the proposed N1.4 billion budget for travel expenses by the State House of Assembly.

It condemned the additional N1 billion budgeted by the Office of the Secretary to the State Government for international travel.

The party accused the government of prioritising personal extravagance over the pressing needs of the people.

“It is time to spotlight the disturbing priorities of those in power and hold them accountable for their greed and irresponsibility amidst the growing economic struggles of Bauchi State residents,” Abdullahi said.

“This extravagant spending reflects the gross mismanagement of state resources,” While families in Bauchi struggle to make ends meet, our leaders indulge in excess, turning a blind eye to the real needs of the people.” he noted.

“This monstrous amount could fund life-changing healthcare facilities and schools. Yet, our leaders prioritize unnecessary travel over addressing the dire challenges facing our communities,” the statement added.

“Our hospitals lack basic medical equipment, our schools remain underfunded, and our roads are in disrepair. Despite this, the government chooses lavish trips abroad over addressing these urgent issues. This reeks of self-aggrandizement and neglect of the citizens’ interests,” Abdullahi stated.

The PRP warned Governor Bala Mohammed and members of the State Assembly that the people of Bauchi are watching and will hold them accountable for their actions.

“We demand an immediate end to this reckless mismanagement of public funds. The citizens of Bauchi deserve leaders who prioritize their welfare over personal indulgence.”

The party also called on Bauchi residents to rise against the culture of impunity and demand better governance.

“We must unite to reclaim our state from those whose greed threatens its future. The time for change is now,” the PRP concluded.
