The controversy has sparked outrage, particularly as schools, health centres, and communities within the council continue to suffer from acute infrastructural neglect.

In a statement released on Friday, civic accountability organization MonITNG condemned the council chairman, accusing him of prioritising political patronage over essential governance.

The group asserted that such actions undermine the welfare of residents and reflect a troubling disregard for public service obligations.

“The Executive Chairman of Gwagwalada Area Council, Hon. Abubakar Jibrin Giri, has turned governance into political patronage. On September 11, 2025, he gifted the APC Local Government Women Leader, Hajia Fatima, a brand-new Toyota Corolla, while the citizens he swore to serve are left abandoned,” it said.

The group described the development as an abuse of public trust.

“This is not leadership, it is abuse of office. It is reckless, insensitive, and a shameful display of misplaced priorities,” it said.

“Public office is not for rewarding party loyalists with taxpayers’ money. Public resources must serve the common good, not personal or political interests.”

Raising alarm over the deplorable state of social infrastructure in the council, the group highlighted the dire situation in schools, healthcare facilities, and water supply.

It said, “Today, in Gwagwalada, 90% of public schools and Primary Health Care centers are collapsing. Children are forced to sit on bare floors, study under leaking roofs, and learn without textbooks or qualified teachers.

“Healthcare facilities are in ruins, lacking electricity, equipment, or even beds for patients. Lives are at risk daily because the system is broken.

“Even worse, there is no clean water for residents. Entire communities fetch drinking water from streams and ponds shared with animals. Diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery spread easily because the government has failed in its most basic responsibility, providing safe water.”

It described the purchase of the car as corruption and demanded accountability.

“Yet, instead of channeling funds to solve these urgent challenges, Hon. Giri chose to buy a Toyota Corolla for a party loyalist. This is corruption in plain sight and a brazen mockery of accountability,” it said.

It further called for urgent action by anti-graft agencies and the FCT Minister.

It said, “We are calling on ICPC Nigeria & EFCC to immediately investigate the Chairman of Gwagwalada Area Council. This is a clear violation of public trust and a possible diversion of government resources for personal and political gain.

“The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission has a duty to protect citizens against reckless misuse of public funds.

“We are also calling on FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, to step in. As the FCT Minister, the rot in area councils under your watch reflects on your leadership. Allowing local council leaders to waste scarce resources on political gifts while residents suffer is unacceptable. Intervention is urgently needed to restore credibility and sanity.”

MonITNG further noted that the people of Gwagwalada deserve better governance.

“Its people deserve working schools, safe health centers, and clean water, not political showmanship. This case should serve as an example: leaders who abuse public resources must be held accountable,” it added.

“Public funds are sacred. They must never be used as political souvenirs.”
