LunagisthubThe Controversy Surrounding President Tinubu’s Alleged Deductions from the Federation Account
A recent allegation has sparked intense debate in Nigeria’s political landscape. Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has accused President Bola Tinubu of deducting N100 billion monthly from the Federation Account without approval from the National Assembly. This claim has raised concerns about the transparency and accountability of the government’s financial dealings .
According to El-Rufai, the deductions, which have been ongoing for over 15 months, amount to a staggering N1.5 trillion. He claims that these funds are being allocated to security agencies, despite the worsening state of insecurity across the country. El-Rufai argues that such actions are unconstitutional and deserve impeachment .
If true, the allegations could have significant implications for President Tinubu’s administration. The lack of transparency and accountability in government spending has been a recurring issue in Nigeria, and this latest controversy may further erode public trust in the government .
El-Rufai’s allegations highlight the need for greater transparency and accountability in government spending. As the country’s leader, President Tinubu has a responsibility to ensure that public funds are being used effectively and efficiently. The National Assembly must also play its oversight role to prevent abuse of power and ensure that the government is transparent in its dealings .
