A highly controversial report has emerged, with accusing fingers pointed at an ex-governor of Lagos state and a serving governor from the north
The Whistle has reported that about N500m may have gone into the planned protest tagged #OccupyNASS against the National Assembly under the leadership by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki tomorrow, Tuesday, 26th of April, 2016.
According to the protest led by the Citizens United for Peace and Stability (CUPS ) Nigeria, about 50,000 Nigerians from across the country are expected to occupy “the National Assembly to reclaim Nigeria from the criminal Mafia cabal run by Bukola Saraki.”
The Whistle reports that a phone conversation between two of the major organizers of the protest revealed that the key principal actors behind the protests are a former Lagos governor (names withheld), and a serving governor from the northern side of Nigeria.
The serving governor was said to have mobilized resources from some of his cooperating colleagues in the northwest and have agreed to take responsibility for the welfare and logistics of about 3000 protesters who will converge in Abuja for the planned protest.
The organizer estimated that a total of N500m will have gone down into this operation based on the budget estimates sent to the key stakeholders.
Story fit for a dustbin. Are you telling me that I have to be given money to protest against stealing and corruption that has made it difficult for me to have good road and portable water to drink. Saraki should find another story to tell.
So it was the former governor of Lagos that push our senators to buy jeep at that inflated price of 36.1m, and Saraki to turn Kwara state into his business empire when Nigerians are suffering. What a rubbish story. Is the writer not affected by what is going on?
