Take Oil Wells From Individuals And Allocate Them To The States – Ekiti Deputy Governor Tells President Buhari

Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi has advised
President Buhari to take the oil wells of some private Nigerian citizens
and hand it to state government so they can generate more revenue to
fund their state activities and be less dependent on the Federal
government.

Speaking during an interview on Ekiti State Television (EKTV) at the
weekend, Egbeyemi said in this second term of President Buhari, he
should endeavour to make states more bouyant.

“The victory achieved by the President was a victory for Nigeria
indeed and the masses who reposed confidence in him and voted him back
to office. This is the time for him to take some bold and radical
decisions to make life better for the citizenry and ensure economic
recovery.

“President Buhari, during his second term, must make the states
buoyant. He must take oil wells from individuals and allocate them to
the states so that they can pay their workers, build more
infrastructures and establish industries. We have some individuals
holding oil wells having billions of Naira coming to them every day
while majority of Nigerians are living in poverty.”

He also advised Buhari to remove People’s Democratic Party (PDP)
members who are still on the boards of federal commissions, boards and
agencies despite the expiry of their tenures.
