The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the recent disclosure by the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, that the current administration has continued to service a $460 million loan taken from China to fund a phony Abuja Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) contract is a stark reminder why Nigerians must continue to reject the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at all levels of government.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, said in a statement, Friday in Abuja, said the fraudulent CCTV contract was awarded in August 2010.
Issa-Onilu said since profligacy and corruption are in the PDP’s DNA, Nigerians must “continuously” strive to elect progressive governments at all levels to achieve the Nigeria of our dreams.
He said as the governorship elections hold in Bayelsa and Kogi States, citizens must not fall prey to the “rapacious PDP” again. The APC spokesman, who urged citizens to be wary of whatever promises PDP is making ahead of the ballots in both Bayelsa and Kogi, said, “a leopard cannot change its spots.”
