Tanko YinusaThe National Chairman, National Conscience Party, Mr Tanko Yinusa has criticized the plan of the Federal Government to spend N1bn from the nation’s excess crude account.
His reaction on Sunday comes few days after the 36 state governors gave the Federal Government approval to utilise $1billion from Nigeria’s excess crude account to tackle Boko Haram insurgency.
This has generated criticisms from the opposing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, among others who condemned the plan by the Federal Government to use such huge amount to tackle Boko Haram insurgency which they claimed they had already succeeded in.
“Why is it that it is not part of the budget for 2018? Why are we taking it towards the end of the year? In December, how is this particular money going to be used? How will it be spent?” Mr Yinusa questioned while addressing the issue on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
