APC Replies PDP, Denies Stolen N15 Trillion

APC National Secretary, John James AkpanUdoedehe stated this in a statement issued Wednesday in Abuja saying that the administration has been fighting issues bordering on corruption.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has described as baseless claim by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, that N15 trillion is missing under administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He stated that the various innovations including the BVN have helped to stop the rabid stealing of the past administrations.

“Nigeria is no island. We suffered our fair share of the economic impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on livelihoods and jobs. Commendably, President Buhari showed leadership in cushioning the effects and guiding the country out of the economic challenges.

“No government in the country’s history has systematically put in place measures to create jobs and alleviate poverty like the President Buhari government.

“The proactive and successful implementation of the N2.3 trillion Economic Sustainability Plan, ESP, has not only stimulated the economy and prevented business collapse, it has also created jobs through support to labour intensive sectors such as agriculture, direct labour interventions and infrastructural investments.

“The administrations N75 billion National Youth Investment Fund, NYIF, as well as the Micro Small Medium Enterprises, MSMEs, Survival Fund which include Payroll Support for businesses in health, education, hospitality and food production sectors has targeted millions and provided opportunities for the youths and many Nigerian businesses”.
