Nigerian Senators Have No Conscience – Banky W
singer and politician, Olubankole Wellington, popularly known via his stage call Banky W, has puzzled the allocation of N37 Billion for the protection of the National Assembly Complex. The amount, that is included inside the 2020 budget signed through President Buhari on Wednesday, is but not part of the N128 billion allocated for the National Assembly for next year. The Senate president, Ahmad Lawan, informed newshounds in Abuja on Monday that the cash is instead part of the 2020 finances of the Federal Capital Development Administration. Mr Lawan defined that there has been no major upkeep of the National Assembly building for 20 years and plenty of parts of the property had come to be dilapidated. “We met the president and (it changed into) related the situation of the complex,” he stated. “The president answered and stated he became going to renovate the complicated. The phase one maintenance will commence – the chambers and committee rooms within the white house. “N37 billion become sourced and was given.
It turned into put beneath the FCT, no longer National Assembly. All we required is to have the complex renovated. “When we are through with segment 1, we will go to segment 2. It is not underneath the manipulate of the National Assembly. The complex is a national asset and is for the FCDA to take care,” he stated. However, in spite of the explanation through the Senate president, the 37 billion allocated for protection has raised eyebrows from Nigerians, with the state-of-the-art punch coming from Banky W.
Banky W wrote on his Twitter web page on Thursday: “Our “leaders” in the National Assembly have NO conscience. At a time like this, whilst Education & Healthcare in Nigeria are in a state of Emergency.. They earmarked N37Billion to renovate their office constructing. Shame on us for letting them break out with it. This is SICK.
