APC mocks PDP over return of Abacha loot
over its recent criticism after another tranche of monies stolen by a former Nigeria military leader, Sani Abacha, was returned.
Between 2003 and 2020, Nigerian governments had recouped over $2 billion of the stolen monies stashed in foreign countries by the Abacha regime. Those funds were released to the Nigerian governments under different agreements, mostly tied around human and infrastructural development projects across the nation, even though the end results remain scanty.In a reaction, the party described the allegation levelled against it as another attempt borne of the opposition’ s desire to tarnish the image of the current administration.
“On the recovery of $311million, we refer the PDP to the 2020 Asset Return Agreement which requires the fund to be transferred to a Central Bank of Nigeria Asset Recovery designated account and which would then be paid to the National Sovereign Investment Authority designated as the project management and execution authority within the next fourteen days.
