The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has charged President
Muhammadu Buhari-led Presidency to immediately make public detail of funds
spent as palliatives to Nigerians.
PDP explained that the scheme which was aimed at cushioning
the stay-home effect caused by COVID-19 pandemic had been exposed to ba a huge
scam.
The opposition party made the call in a statement signed by
its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan.
PDP also urged its state governors to help their
counterparts in the All Progressives Congress, APC, in responding to the
pandemic.
It stressed that had the Buhari-led Presidency involved the
states and allowed for a multilayered, people-based approach in the
distribution of palliatives, development of therapeutics and implementation of
protocols, the situation would have been better handled.
The statement reads: “Now that the Buhari Presidency has
come to its wits end, our party urges governors elected on the platform of the
PDP to assist their colleagues in the APC with information, strategies and
expertise, for an effective national response for the pandemic.
“Furthermore, we urge Mr. President and his PTF to do the
nation a favour by taking accommodation in the backseat and allowing competent
hands to manage the situation.
“Our party urges the state governors to brace up to the
occasion and rally the private sector for homegrown solutions, which the
APC-led Federal Government had failed to achieve due to sheer incompetence and
corruption.
“We, therefore, charge the Buhari Presidency to immediately
give a detailed account of all funds and other resources it claimed to have
spent, particularly on palliatives; a scheme that has been exposed to be a huge
scam.”
