Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has accused President Bola Tinubu of deducting N100b every month from the federation account without approval.
Speaking during an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on
Arise Television, El-Rufai said such an action deserves nothing but
impeachment.
According to him, the unauthorised deductions have been
going on for over 15 months, amounting to a total of N1.5 trillion.
He said: “Government data. I’m not quoting something out of
the air. So for that 100 billion that goes out every month from the Federation
account, without appropriation by the National Assembly, by the way, without
appropriation by the state assemblies, because part of the money belongs to the
states.
“So each state assembly is supposed to appropriate that
part. So the entire deduction and expenditure is unconstitutional. It’s an
impeachable offense, but it has been going on for more than 15 months, from the
last time I checked.
“So, where has that 1.5 trillion gone? What is it being used
for? Why is the security situation just getting worse? Why is the government
asking communities to protect themselves?
“Look if you asked me in 2022 or 2023 when we were
campaigning, that things would ever be this bad, I would say that you are
mentally ill.”
