The All Progressive Congress, APC, Ebonyi State Chapter, has revealed that
the sum of N700,000,000 (seven-hundred million naira) has been dolled out, each to the House of Representatives members in Nigeria to share to their constituents for Agricultural purposes.
This was disclosed by the Publicity Secretary of the party in Ebonyi State, Nwoba Chika Nwoba via a statement released on his Facebook page.
He noted that principal officers of the House got more and further revealed that the money was shared to them unannounced.
He urged Nigerians to hold their House of Representatives members by the jugular.
The statement reads,
“The sum of N700,000,000 (seven-hundred million naira) has been dolled out, each to the House of Representatives members in Nigeria to share to their constituents for Agricultural purposes. Principal officers of the House got more. This was done few days ago unannounced. Each beneficiary in a constituency is expected to get one million naira, which must be for agricultural use, only.”
“Hold your House of Representatives member by the jugular. Some have gone away with the money completely- while others are preparing to present it in the form of personal assistance or empowerment to their constituents- with them sharing N100,000 each to the benefitting constituents after what they may choose to call a workshop. And you’ll be clapping not knowing N900k has been made away with.”
“They just communicated themselves. Just like that. No open debate. When it comes to this, partisan dichotomy doesn’t crop up. Everybody is one. You won’t hear bickering. Nothing unites Nigeria politicians more than corruption. No racism. Nothing at all.”
Meanwhile, Igbere TV is yet to confirm if his claim is true as efforts to speak with the spokesman of the House of Representatives proved abortive as at the time of filing this report.
