I Have not Collected Any Loan Since my Assumption of Office~ Bertola

***Wants Them To Come Open on Allegations

TRACKING___The Executive Chairman of Ekeremor Local Government, Chief Bertola Perekeme, PhD has described a purported impeachment notice allegedly written by members of the Ekeremor Legislative Council which is trading on social media as unfortunate and an abuse of democracy.

In a telephone conversation with TrackNews the council Boss said he is yet to be served any impeachment notice and wonder why the Council Lawmakers would go to the media with such weighty issue without serving him if they were true to their conscience.

He further said, “I am committed to meeting statutory obligations of the local government despite the very difficult circumstances and will not be distracted by a few who don’t mean well for the generality of the Ekeremor people.”

“When i came on board in August last year, the Council was running a deficit account which they (Councilors) are all aware of and since then, the chairman has courageously made tremendious afforts aimed at stabilizing the system are going on.

I was accused of taking loans from banks. ” let me make it clear to everyone, I have not collected any loan since my assumption of office.” I don’t know where is story is coming from.

“The Councilors should exercise the power given them by their wards to better the area by joining hands with me rather than orchestrate a ‘fight’ for pecuniary ends that will only sink the local government into deep indebtedness. This is not what the people want”, he added
