The All Progressives Congress has
assured Nigerians that it will not renege on its campaign promise to pay 5,000 Naira each monthly to 25
million most vulnerable Nigerians, while calling on the citizens to ignore the
mischievous attempt by the PDP to confuse and mislead them on this issue.
In a statement issued in Abuja on
Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said
even though the PDP-led Federal Government plundered the common wealth in its
time, it (APC) has devised creative means not only to pay the money but also to
fulfill its other campaign
promises to Nigerians.
It said the non-implementation of the
payment policy so far is due to the fact that it was not included in the 2015 budget, which was prepared by the
PDP-led Jonathan Administration, and also because of the need to first block all financial leakages.
”Now, the Buhari administration has
been busy putting into place measures that will make it possible to start the
implementation of this project. Such measures include the introductionof the Treasury Single Account (TSA).
”We are happy to inform Nigerians
that as of the end of September 2015, over 1.4 trillion Naira – which hitherto
waslying unproductively in various commercial
banks – has been recovered and paid into the TSA,” APC said.
The party said that in its usual
jumpy and superficial approach to issues, the PDP has already rushed to
judgement on the issue without bothering to hear from the APC, which made the
promise in the first instance.
