“God will punish you. Not just you, but every member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly. When you don’t fear God, you will enjoy His punishment,” VDM said.
According to him, Ekiti State presented a proposed budget of about N415.5 billion for 2026, but allocated only N68 million to primary healthcare for the entire state.

VDM questioned how such an amount could cater for millions of residents, stressing that the last population census in 2006 put Ekiti’s population at about 2.3 million.

“Even if we don’t exaggerate, let’s say Ekiti now has over twenty million people. Elderly people, pregnant women, children — and you budget N68 million for primary healthcare?” he asked.

“You people budget more money for food, furniture and sitting down than for hospitals. God will punish you,” he repeated.

VDM also criticised what he described as duplicated and unclear budget entries, questioning why the government would propose spending hundreds of millions on new equipment while also budgeting for maintenance of existing ones.

He lamented that while government officials and their children seek medical care abroad or in private hospitals, ordinary citizens in rural areas are left to rely on poorly funded primary health centres.
