In a move that has sparked widespread outrage, sources have revealed that the Ekiti State government is reportedly spending a staggering N5 million on refreshments on a daily basis.
This alleged lavish expenditure has drawn sharp criticism from citizens, who are now demanding accountability from the administration led by Governor Abayomi Oyebanji.
According to insider information, the N5 million daily spend on refreshments is a consistent expense, amounting to a whopping N1.8 billion. Critics argue that this excessive spending could have been better allocated to critical sectors such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure development, which are in dire need of funding.
“It’s unacceptable that the government can afford such luxury while the state struggles with basic amenities,” said a concerned citizen, voicing the sentiments of many Ekiti residents.
The Ekiti State government has yet to respond to these allegations, further fueling speculation and public outcry. Citizens are calling for transparency and accountability from the administration, as they believe the reported expenditure on refreshments is a clear indication of misplaced priorities.
As the controversy continues to unfold, the people of Ekiti await a response from the government and a clear explanation of how public funds are being utilized. The outcome of this scandal may have significant implications for the administration’s credibility and the trust of the citizens it serves.
