The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has accused the Buhari-led administration of hijacking Pension Funds.
In a statement released on Wednesday by the party through its official Twitter handle, (@PDPNigeria), it said it was worrisome that pensions contributed by workers have not been remitted since September 2015.
It went ahead to call on President Buhari to order the immediate release of the funds and put a stop to hijack.
