Speaking in Akure, the state capital, during an empowerment programme initiated for his constituents, Akingbaso noted that, “what we are earning from the state is not coming regularly as it is supposed to be.”
He revealed that the lawmakers in the state do not get paid regularly to embark on any meaningful project in their constituencies. The lawmaker, who explained why members of the Assembly were not giving back to their constituencies, noted that, “It is not so; it is their fault. What we are earning from the state is not coming regularly as it is supposed to be. For example, we took some salaries and running grants a week ago which is not for this January, December, November or September.
The lawmaker, who declared his ambition for a Federal House of Representatives seat in 2023, distributed 25 motorcycles, 20 deep freezers, 10 gas cookers and burners, 10 dryers, 20 sewing machines, 20 generators, 20 grinding machines and five refrigerators to his constituents, saying the items cost him over N28m.
According to him, ”I have other means of income and this gave me the privilege to give the dividends of democracy to my constituents at my own expense.
