Buhari Clean On COVID-19 Funds – Supporters

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has praised President Muhammadu Buhari for setting a standard in transparency and integrity in the handling of Covid-19 funds which it claimed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is finding difficult to comprehend.

This, according to the group, is why the party and its members have been speaking about a non-existing plan to misuse the fund.

In a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Madueke, BMO said PDP was used to sharing public funds under different subheads in its 16-year long misrule.

“Nigerians have seen how the former ruling party had, in recent times, been issuing statements on the donations and technical support the country has been receiving from individuals and groups, as well as from donor agencies.

“We see it as an unnecessary fixation on the funds to the point of salivating over the billions of naira going through a few designated bank accounts into a centralised account (Treasury Single Account) in the Central Bank.

“We make bold to say that it is about leadership and that is why the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) will issue an expenditure framework for all Covid-19 funds that bars indiscriminate spending while the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Offences Commission (ICPC) has also announced its own guidelines on the management of funds in line with the Public Procurement Act of 2007.

“These are safeguards that are not known in the PDP era that made public funds a free-for-all bazaar for party chieftains,” the statement added.

BMO also hailed individuals and corporate organisations, as well as donor agencies that have been making donations and offering technical support to Nigeria.

“We recognise that many of the donors are used to donating to past administrations and have over the years seen how government officials had misused those funds.
