SAN FRANCISCO, August 22, (THEWILL) – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has challenged Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to explain to Nigerians how the sum of N1.3 trillion was spent on the execution of capital projects in 2016 alone.
THEWILL recalls that Osinbajo, on Monday, revealed that the current administration spent the said sum on capital projects and that it had cleared the mess it inherited from the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
In series of tweets on its official Twitter Handle, the party said it was alarmed by the statement credited to the Vice President insisting that there was nothing to show for the said expenditure.
“We are alarmed and highly bewildered to hear from Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo that N1.3 trillion was spent on capital projects in 2016,” the PDP wrote on twitter @OfficialPDPNig.
“N1.3 trillion on capital projects and nothing to show for it is unacceptable.
“Should we assume the Vice President was misquoted?” The PDP further noted that since the assumption of Muhammadu Buhari as President, the APC has failed to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.
“Apart from the infrastructures handed over to the APC-led government by the PDP, nothing has been done in the last two and a half years.
“We believe the Vice President, Professor Osinbajo will provide clarifications on how N1.3 trillion was spent on capital projects in 2016.”
