The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government of a plot to siphon N3 trillion under the guise of financing fuel subsidy, IgbereTV reports.
In a statement on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, it described the government’s request for the approval of the sum by the National Assembly as a scam.
While the main opposition party said it was not against suspension of the fuel subsidy removal, it stressed that spending N3 trillion for subsidising was outrageous and an unpardonable crime against Nigerians.
It also demanded full disclosure of specifics of the subsidy templates, including details of the cost of importation of petroleum products into the country.
The PDP, in the statement, urged the National Assembly to reject the request, saying approving such would be a great disservice to Nigerians who elected them as their representatives
