The Senator representing Kaduna
Central in the National Assembly, Shehu Sani has disagreed with President
Muhammadu Buhari over the sharing of the $350million loot recovered from former
military ruler, late Gen. Sani Abacha.
Sani in a tweet on saturday said
the sharing of the loot to 180 million Nigerians was impossible, adding that
the money will end up with beneficiaries nominated by governors, ministers,
lawmakers and the president’s men.
The Kaduna lawmaker further
suggested that the money be tied to a project Nigerians can see with their
eyes.
”Sharing $350 million recovered
loot to 180 million Nigerians is impossible. It will end up with beneficiaries
whose names will be given by governors, ministers, lawmakers and the
president’s men.
“Let it be tied to a project
Nigerians can see with their ‘Korokoro eyes’,” Senator Sani tweeted.
The federal government had on
Thursday declared that it would share the $350m Abacha loot repatriated by
Switzerland on poor households throughout 19 states as from July.
I wonder who advises the president. How can sharing such amount of money solve the problem of poverty? When has giving man fish solved the problem of lack?
ReplyDeleteLet this money be used for community projects. Shanty communities can be provided with infrastructure like electricity, water, drainage and even schools. Why share it to individuals? What’s wrong with the people in government?!
How do you pick the poorest people? Does the government know them? Please make us proud by making reasonable decisions. Enough with the mediocrity.
