“The money is meant for vote buying. The APC observed that all indications show they are going to lose the election. President Buhari released N30 billion bailout earlier but it didn’t help matters. Now he wants to release another N10 billion few days to election.
“We are asking the National Assembly to put on hold the request for now until after the election. Even if they are going to release it, it should be after the election.
“During the administration of former Governor Idris Wada, a bailout of N50.8 billion was requested about three months to election but this same Buhari refused to release the money to him on grounds of election so why seeking such approval now that we have few days to election in Kogi?
“The roads for which they are seeking N10 billion refund were done by the PDP. What has been the achievements of the APC in Kogi,” he said.
