How Can You Use $1 Billion To Fight The Enemy You’ve Defeated? – PDP Mocks FG
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticised the federal government over the plan to spend $1billion from the excess crude account on the fight against insurgency.
The decision to take the money from the crude account was announced during the national economic council meeting of Thursday.
All the governors were said to have endorsed the plan but Ayo Fayose of Ekiti has since come out to deny giving his consent.
In a statement by Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP wondered why the government was in need of such amount of money after it claimed that Boko Haram has been defeated.
It called on the national assembly to interrogate the proposed disbursement and subject it to a thorough interrogation.
“The PDP supports the fight against insurgency. We hold our officers and men confronting the terrorists and securing our territorial integrity in high esteem, but we are concerned about the manipulative tendencies connected with the approvals as well as the veracity of claimed purpose of the fund,” the statement read.
“Nigerians would recall that the APC-led federal government had claimed that it has since defeated the insurgents.
“If it would take a billion dollar from a nation’s savings to kill what they long claimed dead, then we challenge APC government to 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.
“By accepting the $1 billion for fighting insurgency, the APC-led federal government has admitted that it lied when it announced that it has defeated the insurgents. They should therefore apologise to Nigerians for giving them a false sense of security, resulting in their vulnerability to attacks by terrorists.”

Buhari, his APC party and its military wing, Boko Haram are planning to use the $1 billion to wage war against Biafrans. This is the honest truth ! ” One Nigerianists” in Biafra open your eyes and stop buying your heads in the sand like the proverbial Ostrich. Was it not Buhari that said that “any attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North”. They call Boko Haram “insurgents” whilst Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB are ” terrorists”. Lai Mohammed did you tell the world a few months ago that you have defeated Boko Haram ? Lai was that another lie, if not why does your Political wing of Boko Haram want $1billion ? . The South East is presently under military occupation by the Nigerian army, and this money is going to be used kick a war. Biafrans are not interest in your war, and would restore Biafra peacefully. To all you doubting Toms and Harries just watch us !

There is Boko Haram war in the Northeast no doubt, but there is war of hunger in the entire country. Nigerians are even committing suicide because of hunger. So, while we are concerned about Boko Haram in the Northeast, we must be concerned about hunger in other States too.

What is the big deal in budgeting $1b for fighting a dreaded world recognized terrorist group ? When some countries budgeted hundreds of billions of dollars for fighting terrorism in another country, our people are here shouting and crying for a billion dollars.

Nigeria is a coursed and confused entity build upon lies and fraudulent foundation. It can never stand or exist as a peaceful nation, because the inhabitants are made up of different ethnicity who never love themselves. so the only alternative left for this Godforsaken country is division, let every region go on its own separate ways. Nigeria can never stand as a good country again because we are not one and can never be.

Fraudulent and deceitful govt of the day. Everything about them is fraud, insincere and profound deceit. An enemy you have technically defeated, what then are you using a whopping #360 billion to do?? To defeat the enemy that has been defeated technically?. By the way, what happened to the so-called recovered looted funds? Have they been re-looted?? Nigeria is a huge joke!
