Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has said the disturbing revelations by Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno, a senior senator of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), have exposed the dangerous consequences of the administration’s fiscal mismanagement and help to explain in part, why insecurity has continued to consume lives across Nigeria.
In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said he could not remain silent while innocent Nigerians continued to perish under a government that appeared to have normalised bloodshed and poverty.
Atiku said Monguno’s intervention has vindicated what the opposition has consistently maintained for months.
“For months, the APC dismissed every concern raised by the opposition about budget implementation, security funding and fiscal opacity as politics. Today, one of its own ranking senators has asked the very questions Nigerians have been asking.
“Senator Monguno did not merely question budget implementation. He questioned why duly enacted budgets are allegedly not being faithfully implemented.
