Bauchi: PRP blasts Gov Bala Mohammed, state assembly’s plans to spend N3.4bn on fuelling vehicles, generators


The Bauchi State Chapter of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has condemned the allocation of over N3.4 billion for fueling vehicles, generators, and travel expenses in the 2025 budget by the Bauchi State Government and the State House of Assembly, describing it as a shameful display of mismanagement and greed.
In a statement issued on Friday by its State Secretary, Wada Abdullahi, the party expressed concern over the government’s misplaced priorities amid the economic struggles faced by the people of Bauchi State, calling for accountability from those in power.
The statement criticized the N1 billion earmarked for fueling vehicles and generators at the Government House, highlighting that N500 million was set aside for vehicle fuel, while another N500 million was allocated for generator fuel.
“This outrageous allocation of N1 billion not only underscores the extravagant lifestyle of our leaders but also paints a disturbing picture of their mismanagement of state resources. While families in Bauchi struggle to make ends meet, our government appears more focused on luxury than on addressing the pressing needs of its citizens,” the statement read
