Please for critics of Ifere Paul, Joseph Odok, Joseph Osibu and other progressive in this forum, I wish you good reasoning as you read through the lines of this my thinking.
Before the emergence of Imoke, Duke got some loans from which he built Tinapa, Obudu Cattle Ranch and beautified Calabar, though this was not without leaving the state with about N79.8B dept. The supposed edifice that should have paid the dept was left un managed for "God know what" to put CRS dept burden at N413B .
Today AMCON has taken over the management of Tinapa. should we wait for them to take over Perigreno?
The "Ayashokide Model" have brought another style of looting CRS, which is done in a shoki style. let me quickly give us a shocker.
AYADE TO SPEND #3, 2544, 000, 000 (N 4T ) TO MAINTAIN 600 AIDES IN 4 YEARS.
With the number of aides and commissioners his Excellency have appointed, the following expenses must be made:
1. Approximately 300k will be paid as salaries to 600 aides, totalling 180m a month
2. N50, 000 monthly allowance to 600 aides every month totalling N30m
3. Equipping and maintaining 600 offices for N500, 000 each at list for a month = N300m
4. Fueling of cars for 600 aides @ N20 thousand each will be N48m a month
5. Traveling allowances for each office for 600 aides @ N50 thousand will be 60m a month.
6. Welfare for visitors and officials N50, 000 per office by 600 aides = N60m. Summation =678, 000, 000 × 12=8136B
7. Add purchase of cars for 600 aids @ 2m each at list = 1, 200, 000, 000. = 9336000000× 4years of government. 3,2544T.
Remember government house and state house expences not added.
Come to think of it, how much can we generate in CRS? What about the big dream projects? Please Cross Riverians I thought two professors (Ayade & Ivara Esu) with two good heads will be better than one but what I see in this Ayashokide government.
Are two good heads are better than none? Forgive my manners but the truth must be told.
