The All Progressives Congress, APC,
on Friday said President, Muhammadu Buhari, has saved the
country a whooping N1.4 trillion as at September. The APC said in
response to PDP branding the party lairs following the shut-down, by
the Senate, of a motion seeking to implement the promised N5,000 to
unemployed Nigerians.In a statement issued by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said it
has devised creative means not only to pay the money but
also to fulfill its other campaign promises to Nigerians.
Contrary
to the disinformation being peddled by the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, the Buhari administration is poised to lift millions of Nigerians
out of extreme poverty by providing social protection and safety nets
with another N2.5 trillion Special Intervention Fund,”“Now, the Buhari
administration has been busy putting into place measures that will make
it possible to start the implementation of this project.
Such measures include the introductionof the Treasury Single Account (TSA)“We
are happy to inform Nigerians that as at the end of September 2015,
over N1.4 trillion – which hitherto was lying unproductively in various
commercial banks – has been recovered and paid into the TSA,
Had
the PDP not sacrificed the truth on the altar of political expediency,
it would have realized that the APC never at any time indicated it has
reneged on its promise to pay N5,000 monthly to 25 million most
vulnerable Nigerians.“In our press statement of 30 August, 2015,
we still reiterated our plan to redeem our campaign promises, including
the social security payment policy, despite the primitive looting of
the treasury under the watch of the PDP.
“It is therefore astonishing that the same PDP, which is becoming more
and more infamous for its penchant for peddlinghalf truths and
sensationalizing every issue, will rush to the press to
celebrate the figment of its imagination that the APC will not fulfill
its campaign promise regarding the payment,”
