Rivers state to account for #450, million.

As fund for elections violence victims in Akuko Toru LGA.

Patronising party supporters with government fund is questionable and corrupt.

In order, not to create injustice, and promote violence, Government is advised to be more transparent about, the four hundred and fifty million naira (#450,000,000:00), set aside to compensate the victims of elections violence in Rivers state.

As an NGO, compensating the victims of 2019 general elections violence is most commendable and kind of a government.

However, we, the Community AntiGraft Initiative ( C.A-G.I. ) call on the Rivers state government to publish the names of victims and beneficiaries of the elections violence victims’ fund in Akuko Toru LGA.

As anti corruption practitioners, C.A-G.I demands to know, how much is estimated for each of the victims. And, to ensure that the beneficiaries are not party members.

It’s difficult to count a local government area in Rivers state, during the 2019 general elections, where violence did not occur and victims recorded.

So, Rivers people would want to know why, it is Akuko Toru, and not Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA that would benefit against other 22 LGAs in the state.

The public is interested to know how these victims were affected to collect that huge amount of money.

It’s by sharing these information, that we could help justify this good will to the people against all frauds.
