The way inflation and food prices dey squeeze neck ehn, e no funny at all. March 2026 data showed inflation hit 15.38%, and we still dey wait for April's numbers, but we all know things no get better overnight. This pressure on households is real, and we cannot just siddon look.
First, make we compile all our governor's campaign promises. Find out exactly wetin dem talk dem go do, especially concerning welfare, food security, and infrastructure. Then, let's track the state allocations for this year. Every kobo released from federal accounts to our state needs to be accounted for. We need to create visual 'promise vs. delivery' scorecards so everyone fit see clearly how far the government don go.
E get as governors dey claim federal projects as their own work. We must learn to identify state versus federal projects. Let's dig into project costs and expose any over-inflated figures; no go gree for padded contracts. We need to name commissioners and their ministries, then track their performance on projects and budget implementation. Transparency na key.
Citizens need to learn how to participate in state budget consultations. Your voice matters before dem finalize wetin dem go spend money on. Let's gather all available contact channels for our governor and his cabinet. We can then organize 'governor report card' town halls, even if na online, to discuss these findings publicly. Share everything on social media with receipts – pictures, documents, anything to back up our claims.
Remember, we vote am in, we fit vote am out. But first, make we show am say we dey watch.
