“A big chunk of billions are in private pockets” – APC

The All Progressives Congress has alleged that a huge chunk of billions of Naira meant for Nigeria’s economy has ended up in private pockets in past administrations.

The party issued a statement to this effect on Friday through its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

”Thursday’s nationwide demonstrations by Nigerian workers and the Civil Society in support of the anti-corruption battle is the clearest indication yet that corruption is now seen for what it is, a vice to be condemned and punished rather than something to be venerated and celebrated. The growing intolerance for corruption among Nigerians is also a clear example of what a nation can achieve under a committed, sincere, purposeful and focused leadership.”

”A huge chunk of the billions of Naira which are budgeted annually for all sectors of the economy end up in private pockets. Little wonder then that the economy has been in the doldrums over the years, despite the trillions of Naira earned by the country from crude oil sales alone.

”It is therefore baffling that some people, for whatever reasons, have decided to engage in sophistry in their attempt to distract the government from combating graft. Thursday’s nationwide anti-graft rally by Nigerian workers and the Civil Society has shown that Nigerians are not buying such fallacy.”
