I left no debt, says ex-Delta council boss
Matthew Ochei, Asaba
AS the tenure of democratically elected chairmen of the 25 local government councils in Delta State came to an end, the immediate past chairman of Aniocha North, Mr Chuks Oseme, said he left behind a debt-free council for his successor.
Oseme said this while presenting a detailed account of his six-year stewardship at the council headquarters in Issele-Uku on Wednesday.
He said, “Despite the financial constraints faced by our administration, we chose not to go into borrowing.
“When I came on board in my first tenure, I inherited debt from my predecessor, which did not give us an easy start.
