The Buhari/Osinbajo Presidential
Campaign Organization has attacked Senate President Bukola Saraki for
criticising the Federal Government’s ‘trader moni’ scheme.
Saraki, who is the Director
General of the Presidential Campaign Council of Atiku Abubakar, had allegedly
made false allegations about the President Muhammadu Buhari’s scheme.
Vice President Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo has been seen in markets in different states of the federation giving
out small loans to traders.
Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign
Organization in a statement on Saturday, said, “For the President of the Senate
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to make such wild and false allegations is
degrading.
“Saraki’s statement makes his
position untenable; for it is preposterous for him to criticise the Executive
for implementing a programme in the budget duly passed by the National Assembly
which he leads.
“Does it now mean that the
implementation of programmes of government equates to vote-buying? Should
governance be suspended because of politics?
“Is his so-called empowerment
scheme presently ongoing in Ilorin not a better example of vote-buying?
“His claims that the programme
has a political coloration is just the height of subterfuge.
“It is on record that the Trader
Moni loans are given to petty traders and artisans all over the country
irrespective of political leanings as nobody is asked for their party cards in
the markets before they are enlisted on the programme.
“Like other National Social
Investment Programmes, it has been launched in every state of the Federation
irrespective of political affiliation.
“To underscore the
non-partisanship of the Social Investment Programmes, the National Home-Grown
School Feeding Programme of the Federal Government started in the APGA-
controlled Anambra State while Rivers State which is controlled by the PDP had
the highest number of N-Power participants at inception in 2016.”

ReplyDeleteThat is politics with bitterness for so called opposition party
ReplyDeleteI have always said the same thing, they are using it to buy votes. Saraki only stated the obvious.
