Senate may probe bailout funds

Baring any last minute change of plans, the Senate will next Tuesday, commence an investigation into how Paris Club refunds and other bail out funds given to state governors by President Muhammadu Buhari, were approved.

Senator Samuel Anyanwu from Imo State, in a motion of national importance yesterday, queried the legality of the funds given to governors by President Buhari. He also sought to know who gave the approval, since the National Assembly was not consulted before the disbursement.

“I am worried about the Paris club refunds. Governors are asking for more funds. Where is this money from? The Senate has not given any approval. Who gives the approval and where is the money for.

“I heard the President scolding them. The President was asking them how they sleep at night even when they do not pay salaries. They have received billions of naira. I feel worried. Even the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has told the President to stop giving bail out funds to governors.
