The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized the plan by the Federal Government to spend $1billion from Nigeria’s excess crude account to tackle Boko Haram insurgency.
The Party condemned the plan on Friday, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.
“Nigerians would recall that the APC-led Federal Government had claimed that it has since defeated the insurgents,” the PDP said.
“If it would take a billion dollar from a nation’s savings to kill what they long claimed dead, then we challenge APC government come clean and tell Nigerians the whole truth.
“The era of lies and propaganda is long gone and Nigerians now know the truth. The Federal Government must be held accountable and stopped from any move to fritter away our national savings.”
