Delta: APC Flays Commissioners’ Appointments

The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed concern over the appointment of four  Commissioners for education and two Commissioners for works, describing it as a waste.

Expressing concern that the administration in Delta had decided to play politics at the expense of development, the APC said it was worried that the job for the six commissioners could easily have been assigned to two persons.

“Recent events in Delta State have shown that the PDP led-Government have scored hat-trick in economic wastages and indifference to the economic well-being of Deltans,” the APC said in the statement issued by party spokesman, Sylvester Imonina on the designation of four commissioners for education.

Why APC Is Fuming Over Commissioners’ Appointments In Delta

“While Deltans are yet to recover from the economic drains of over two thousand unwanted appointed political Aides who are mostly dead woods, the Governor has once again placed more financial burden on Deltans by appointing four Commissioners for education and two Commissioners for works!

“The portfolios for the education Commissioners are; Commissioner for higher education, Commissioner for technical education, Commissioner for basic and secondary education and Commissioner for primary education.

“In the works ministry, he appointed Commissioners for rural roads, and highways and urban roads respectively!  A cursory look at these appointments/portfolios leaves no one in doubt that they were made as “jobs for the boys”, not for the sake of delivery of dividends of democracy to Deltans.

“Delta APC dares to say that two vibrant hands can conveniently man ministry of education, as against the appointments of four Commissioners! Also, one vibrant and capable Deltan can handle the ministry of works, instead of two people.

“We want to draw the attention of Deltans to the fact that while they wallow in abject poverty, every newly appointed Commissioner is entitled to at least a non-refundable sum of sixty million Naira as take off allowances. What an economic drain!

Delta Does Not Need Idle Commissioners – APC

“The Constitution only says that every Local Government Area is entitled to a civil Commissioner in the State Executive Council. There is no justifiable reason for the appointments of people whose services are not needed before any serious minded Government could achieve her programmes for the citizenry!

“Delta APC calls on Deltans to reject this amorphous portfolios/conduit pipes. The State Governor should be called upon to downsize his cabinet and huge political aides.”
