Abacha loot: Why PDP is angry about $311m returned to Nigeria – APC
, the opposition was vexed that the money wasn’t returned when they were in power.
Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC National Publicity Secretary, in a statement on Wednesday, noted that PDP personifies corruption in deeds and preferred sharing public funds amongst the ruling class. “This administration similarly recovered $322 million from Switzerland in 2018, as part of monies stolen by Abacha which has been transparently and judiciously deployed in the funding of social investment programmes, including the free school feeding scheme, stipends for millions of disadvantaged citizens, and grain grants for those in severe food hardship as specified in the agreement signed with the Switzerland and the World Bank.
It added that the Buhari administration has committed itself that the assets will be invested in expediting the construction of major infrastructure projects across Nigeria, namely: Lagos – Ibadan Expressway; Abuja – Kaduna-Kano Expressway and the Second Niger Bridge as well as the Mambilla Power Project.
