Senator Shehu Sani, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Foreign and Local Debt has called on President Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration to immediately begin investigating the Goodluck Jonathan’s administration
in order to recover stolen funds siphoned from the ‘poverty alleviation
programmes’, including the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme.
He on Friday accused the administration of Jonathan of using
some programmes, including the, to steal from the country, all in the name of
poverty alleviation. He, therefore, Sani told the Voice of America that
the former administration must account for funds spent in carrying out the
SURE-P and other poverty alleviation programmes.
He said, “This has to do with reports on diversion and
corruption that occurred during the last days of President Goodluck Jonathan,
so we feel that the best way to do justice to this is to probe the diversion
and the corruption that took place, especially with programmes like SURE-P, so
that at least the (present) government would be able to retrieve stolen funds.”
