PDP Wants NASS To Probe Alleged N14 Trillion Thefts Since 2015

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday charged National Assembly members returning on Tuesday to immediate commence an investigation into what it claimed as N14 trillion allegedly stolen under the present administration since 2015.

The party in a statement gave her breakdown of the alleged thefts in the security and oil sectors.

The statement issued by National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondinyan read thus:

“as the Buhari-led Presidency has failed to give cogent explanation on the alleged looting of over N9 trillion through sleazy oil contracts as detailed in the leaked Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC memo; a situation that directly points to officials culpability.”

“Nigerians also want the National Assembly to investigate the issues surrounding the reported stealing of N1.1 trillion worth of crude oil using 18 unregistered companies, as well as the alleged looting of over N2.6 trillion in shady oil subsidy regime.

“The PDP urges the National Assembly to also investigate the alleged siphoning of $322m repatriated funds as well as the trillions of naira stolen under shady projects such as the ‘tradermoni’ project, among others.

“The party notes that only recently, the wife of Mr. President, Aisha Buhari, raised the alarm that over N500 billion meant for poverty alleviation under the APC-led government did not get to the designated beneficiaries. 

“Furthermore, the PDP implores the federal legislators to stand on the side of suppressed Nigerians by immediately investigating the roles played by the APC-led administration on issues related to the clashes and bloodletting in various parts of the country as well as the reported cases of widespread human rights violations, including illegal arrests, detention, torture and alleged disappearances as detailed in the reports by the United States Department of State and other international bodies.

“The PDP insists that the National Assembly, as the only legitimate representative of the people at the national level today, should ensure that the cabal in the Buhari-led Presidency and the APC do not succeed in their prolonged effort to sweep these humongous looting and violations under the carpet.”
