Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar,
has approached President Muhammadu Buhari to attend to the needs of
Nigerians instead of donating money to other countries.
The previous VP said that Nigeria's assets ought to be utilized for the nation and its kin and not as gifts to other people.
He said that the President and his group ought to be more reasonable with national assets.
Atiku, in
a statement by its media office in Abuja on Sunday asked why a nation
whose pioneers had promised to offer its national resources would even
now be giving cash without thinking about its suggestions.
He said that the President as of late guaranteed to give $500,000 to Guinea Bissau, alongside other material gifts.
He
stated, "As of late, we had cause to guide the Buhari organization to
be more judicious with national assets after the legislature proclaimed
its goal to offer national resources worked by past organizations to
subsidize their the same old thing 2019 spending plan.
"Evidently,
as opposed to offer notice to our ace bono enthusiastic prompt, the
Buhari organization is continuing in the monetary iniquity that has seen
them annihilate an once flourishing economy.
"In the most recent
case, the Buhari government has reported that it is making a $500,000
gift to Guinea Bissau, alongside other material gifts.
"Our
reaction is to inquire as to why a country that has been formally named
as the world base camp for extraordinary destitution, will give her
assets to others as opposed to utilizing them to take care of squeezing
household issues?
"This is a similar government that is so
destitute that it has so far obtained ₦13 trillion out of three years
putting our economy in considerably more noteworthy hazard.
“How
prudent is it to go about taking loans from whomsoever cares to lend you
money and then turn around to give out those same monies even when your
own people are suffering the worst forms of poverty they have ever
endured?
“We call on the Buhari administration to cut their
coat according to their cloth. He should stop donating like Father
Christmas. He should attend to then need of Nigerians.
