Sunday, February 16, 2025 - The Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, has demanded public audit and accountability of funds that accrued to the Taraba State Government.
The Caretaker Committee Chairman of the party in the state, Idris
Tantano, made this call in a statement on Sunday.
Tantano said the people of Taraba State have continued to suffer from
inadequate infrastructure, poor healthcare and limited economic opportunities.
He said instead of utilizing the state’s resources to attract investors
and create jobs, the current administration has squandered billions of on
luxury vehicles for the elite.
“The procurement of JAC Jeeps presents a perfect opportunity for the
state to negotiate with investors to establish a car assembly plant.
“This would not only generate revenue but also create thousands of jobs
for the youth.
“However, the administration’s short-sightedness and corruption have led
to this opportunity being missed.
“As the opposition, we demand that the administration provides a
detailed account of how the state’s funds have been utilized,” the statement
said.
The Taraba State PRP said it would not look aside while the ruling party
continues to prioritize their own interests over the welfare of the people.
The party said that it was time for a change, stressing that it was
committed to bringing about a new era of transparency, accountability and
prosperity to Taraba State.
It further stated that it would utilize all legal instruments to ensure
transparency and accountability, adding that the people of Taraba State deserve
better.
