Dear Nigerians,
We can’t continue to celebrate criminals as political office holders while corruption cases against them remain unresolved.
What message are we sending to young people and ordinary citizens struggling daily under economic hardship?
Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello is currently facing serious corruption and money laundering charges involving over ₦100 billion according to ongoing EFCC court proceedings.
Yet, instead of accountability and sober reflection, we are watching political structures prepare him for another election into the Senate.
What happens after the elections? Will the cases suddenly disappear because the accused belongs to the ruling APC? Nigerians have seen citizens jailed, disgraced, and politically destroyed for far less.
Many public officials without strong political protection have faced swift prosecution and convictions. But when powerful politicians are involved, corruption cases often become endless courtroom dramas while they continue to enjoy state privileges, endorsements, and political promotions.
This culture of selective accountability is destroying public trust in our institutions. How do we explain to civil servants owed salaries, to unemployed graduates, and to struggling Nigerians that those accused of looting public resources are still celebrated at rallies and rewarded with fresh political tickets?
We have also seen several high-profile corruption allegations involving politically connected figures across party lines, including allegations against Bello Matawalle, Abubakar Malami, Diezani Alison-Madueke, and others who continued to remain politically influential despite investigations or legal scrutiny.
Nigeria cannot fight corruption only against the weak while protecting the politically connected. Accountability must not depend on party affiliation. Justice must be consistent, transparent, and equal for everyone. If corruption cases can be ignored once elections are involved, then what hope is left for ordinary Nigerians seeking justice and fairness? @officialEFCC @icpcnigeria

ATTENTION!!!
Dear Hon @OfficialBenKalu
We are aware of the response from the Office of the Deputy Speaker dismissing concerns raised by civic monitors as “misleading” and “politically motivated,” while also shifting attention away from the core issues raised regarding the ₦265.3 million reportedly disbursed to Muslac Techno Company Limited in December 2025 for the construction of a conference and e-learning facility captured in the 2024 Federal Government budget.
The central issue remains unanswered: what is the current status of the project following the reported release of ₦265.3 million, and how has the implementation reflected the scale of public funds said to have been committed?
Findings from Tracka’s field verification raise serious concerns about execution. The project, originally captured for a beneficiary school, was reportedly relocated to Ọnụ Inyang along the Bende–Ohafia Expressway. At the proposed site, there was no visible construction activity, no contractors on ground, and only limited structural remnants overtaken by overgrown vegetation.
Six months after the reported disbursement, the level of work observed on site appears grossly inconsistent with the amount of public funding said to have been released for the project. These observations raise legitimate questions about implementation progress, contract performance, and value for money.
Even more concerning are indications that the same project may again be included in the next budget cycle despite its current condition and unresolved implementation concerns.
Rather than framing accountability questions as political attacks, the more important issue is transparency: whether funds were actually released, how they were utilised, why the project location was changed, and what oversight actions have been taken by the sponsoring representative who nominated the project.
Public office comes with responsibility beyond project nomination. Oversight is not optional, and citizens have every right to demand clarity on how public resources are managed and whether intended projects are delivered to the people. #AskQuestions #GetInvolved

Pupils Study Under Collapsing Roofs In FCT Despite Minister Wike's ₦30.9billion Rehabilitation Claims | Sahara Reporters bit.ly/4nv1CRD

REVEALED!!!
Attn, FCT Minister @GovWike & Senator @IretiKingibe
This is inside Nigeria’s Federal capital territory, pupils of LEA Primary School Makanima, opposite the Military Barracks in Giri and within the University of Abuja Permanent Site, are still learning under collapsing roofs and damaged classrooms while billions of naira are reportedly being spent on school rehabilitation across the FCT.
These pictures tell the story better than any press briefing.
Classrooms have been left exposed after heavy damage to the roof structure. Children are forced to study in unsafe conditions during rain, heat, and storms, despite repeated government promises about completed renovations and massive investments in public schools.
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike publicly approved N30.9 billion for school rehabilitation projects across Abuja. Officials announced that billions were allocated for the renovation of dozens of schools and assured residents that projects would be completed within record timelines.
Months later, LEA Primary School Makanima remains in this condition.
This is not happening in a remote village hidden from government. This is the Federal Capital Territory. This school sits in Abuja, surrounded by major public institutions and close to military facilities, yet hundreds of children are still being left to learn inside unsafe and neglected classrooms.
Senator Ireti Kingibe, this situation demands urgent attention and public accountability. The people of the FCT deserve to know the status of rehabilitation projects, the contractors handling them, and why schools like this have been left behind despite repeated announcements of completed works.
Education cannot be reduced to media headlines while children sit beneath broken roofs.
The pupils of LEA Primary School Makanima are not campaign materials or budget figures. They are children who deserve safe classrooms, dignity, and a proper learning environment.
The cameras are no longer at the press conferences. They are now in the classrooms.
Abuja deserves answers.

Dear Pst Okezie JAMES Atañi,
We have noted your explanation regarding the ₦265.3 million project and your framing of the Deputy Speaker’s role as limited to “attracting” projects while the Executive handles implementation.
While it is correct that the Executive arm oversees procurement, it is an incomplete reading of the constitutional and representational duties of a federal lawmaker to reduce their role only to attraction of projects. Members of the House of Representatives, including Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, also carry statutory and moral responsibilities in oversight, particularly through committee functions, constituency engagement, and follow-up on federally funded projects within their constituencies.
Oversight is not passive. It does not end at nomination or budget inclusion. It includes monitoring execution, demanding updates from implementing agencies, escalating concerns when projects stall, and ensuring that public funds translate into actual infrastructure for citizens.
If, as you stated, the contractor failed in execution and the project has been abandoned, then the critical question is not only about procurement failure but also about what oversight steps were taken once implementation began to go off track. At what point did the office of the representative escalate concerns to the supervising ministry or agency? What documented interventions were made to protect public funds and ensure delivery to the community?
It is also important not to shift the entire burden of accountability solely onto the contractor while absolving political oversight structures that are meant to safeguard exactly these kinds of failures.
We raise these questions in the interest of transparency and public accountability, which is the core reason citizens’ monitoring platforms like TrackaNG exist, to ensure that projects captured in the budget are not only awarded, but actually delivered to the people.
Leadership is not only about attracting projects; it is also about ensuring they are completed, functional, and beneficial to the communities they are meant for.
Dear @TrackaNG,
In a time when many leaders pay lip service to constituency development, Rt Hon Benjamin Okezie Kalu Ph.D CFR @OfficialBenKalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has once again demonstrated what true representation looks like. He attracted a vital project to his constituency, a project that was desperately needed by the community. That singular act of advocacy brought opportunity, jobs, and development directly to the people he represents.
Let it be clearly stated: the Deputy Speaker did not award the contract, nor did he execute it. His role as a lawmaker is to attract federal projects to his constituency. The executive arm of government is responsible for bidding, awarding, and overseeing implementation through qualified contractors. In this case, a company called Muslac Techno Company Limited successfully bid for and won the project. Regrettably, the owner of the company has since disappeared, abandoning the very project he was contracted to deliver.
This is not a failure of the Deputy Speaker it is a clear case of contractor negligence and potential fraud. That is why the company is now under investigation, and the owner will definitely be arrested by the EFCC @officialEFCC. Rt Hon Benjamin Okezie Kalu Ph.D CFR is not only aware of the situation he is actively on top of it, ensuring that the contractor is held fully accountable and that justice is served.
This is the hallmark of responsible leadership:
✅ Attracting life-changing projects to your people
✅ Ensuring transparency in execution
✅ Swiftly demanding accountability when contractors fail or attempt to disappear with public resources
Rt Hon Benjamin Okezie Kalu Ph.D CFR remains steadfast in his commitment to delivering tangible development to his constituency while upholding the highest standards of probity and good governance He attracts the projects. The Executive awards them. When contractors betray the public trust, he ensures they face the full weight of the law.
This is leadership with integrity.
This is representation that works.
This is why the people of Abia North and indeed all well-meaning Nigerians continue to stand firmly with Rt Hon Benjamin Okezie Kalu Ph.D CFR.

SHOCKING!!!
Dear @icpcnigeria & @officialEFCC
We are aware of growing concerns surrounding a constituency project nominated by Deputy Speaker Rt. Hon. @OfficialBenKalu for Bende Secondary Grammar School, Abia State.
According to records published on govspend.com, ₦265.3 million was disbursed to Muslac Techno Company Limited in December 2025 for the construction of a conference and e-learning facility captured in the 2024 Federal Government budget.
However, findings from a recent visit by the Tracka team raise serious questions about the implementation of the project.
The facility was reportedly moved away from the beneficiary school to Ọnụ Inyang along the Bende–Ohafia Expressway.
At the site, there was no visible construction activity, no workers present, and only limited structural work overtaken by overgrown vegetation.
Six months after the reported disbursement of ₦265.3 million, the level of work on ground appears grossly inadequate.
Even more concerning are indications that this same project may be proposed again in the next budget cycle despite its current state.
We call on @icpcnigeria, @officialEFCC, and @FmstNg to urgently investigate the circumstances surrounding this project, including the relocation, the funds released, and the apparent lack of delivery.
Public funds must serve the people, not disappear into abandoned projects and repeated budget allocations.

EXPOSED!!!
Attn, Governor @m_akpakomiza
This is the heartbreaking reality inside the female ward at Ubiaja General Hospital, located in the Esan South-East Local Government Area of Edo State.
When mothers, daughters, and grandmothers are admitted here to heal, they are met with decaying beds and stripped mattresses.
The conditions are completely dilapidated and abandoned, stripped of human dignity. Over one million residents in the Esan South-East local government council area rely entirely on this single facility, yet it lacks the most basic human necessities.
The pain of sickness is compounded by the pain of neglect. Patients fighting for their lives are subjected to absolute indignity, forced to sleep on the cold, bare floor or on thin mats.
Families must pack up their own bedding from home just to ensure their loved ones have a clean place to lie down while receiving treatment.
It is deeply painful to watch our people suffer like this when billions of naira are budgeted for health at both state and federal levels to fix facilities across Nigeria’s 774 LGAs.
While a multi-billion naira hospital is being built in the governor's own community of Udomi, the only hospital serving over a million people here is left to rot.
Where is the empathy? Where is the care for the everyday citizen?We are appealing to the humanity of Governor Monday Okpebholo and all relevant stakeholders. Please, look at the people you serve.
We call for an urgent, comprehensive renovation and proper medical equipment for this facility. Access to healthcare is a fundamental human right.
The people of Ubiaja and the entire Esan South-East community deserve to be treated with respect, care, and dignity in their time of greatest need.
