[BREAKING] PDP accuses Buhari of plot to loot $1Billion to fund 2nd term bid

By The Atlantic Post on April 5, 2018

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria of plot to loot and divert the $1Billion he unilaterally approved without recourse to the National Assembly.

The PDP made this position know today (Thursday, April 5, 2018) in a barrage of strong-worded tweets via their official Twitter handle, @OfficialPDPNig.

Below are excerpts of the tweets.

“We call on Nigerians to reject and resist the renewed attempt by the @NgrPresidency @APCNigeria to loot $1Billion from the national coffers to finance President Muhammadu Buhari’s interests in the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s national convention and 2019 campaign.

“We also urge the National Assembly @nassnigeria to commence appropriate constitutional legislative actions against President @MBuhari for gross misconduct in unilaterally approving the release of the fund without allowing for the application of legislative instrument.

“Our investigation reveals that the @NGRPresident willfully sidestepped the National Assembly @nassnigeria so as to avoid legislative scrutiny and accountability and pave way for the diverting of the fund for selfish partisan purposes.

“This is the same @MBuhari administration that has been boasting of having technically defeated the insurgents. This is also an administration @APCNigeria that is not known to have exhausted subsisting budgetary allocations for defense.
