<\/div>\n
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the All Progressives Congress<\/div>\n
(APC) and the Presidency cabal have turned the National Health Insurance<\/div>\n
Scheme (NHIS) into their Automated Teller Machine (ATM) where funds are<\/div>\n
taken at their conveniences.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The party said the nation was yet to recover from past revelations of an<\/div>\n
alleged withdrawal of N10bn when fresh plot by the APC Federal<\/div>\n
Government to loot another N25 billion from the coffers of the Scheme<\/div>\n
was exposed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nigerians are still lamenting the N10 billion stolen earlier from the<\/div>\n
agencys savings in the Treasury Single Account (TSA) by presidency<\/div>\n
cabal.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola<\/div>\n
Ologbondiyan, on Thursday, said the APC and the Presidency have been<\/div>\n
bleeding the nation, adding that the very idea of stealing funds meant<\/div>\n
to provide health lifeline to the already impoverished Nigerians is<\/div>\n
agonizing and shows that the ruling party has lost all scruples.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our nation is now faced with daily pillaging of our national patrimony<\/div>\n
by APC interests and a notorious cabal, who, operating under the cover<\/div>\n
and protection of the Buhari Presidency, have turned our revenue<\/div>\n
agencies, particularly the NHIS into cashcows to painfully milk funds<\/div>\n
for APCs ill-fated 2019 re-election bid.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When we say that this Buhari administration is debauched, many do not<\/div>\n
realize to what extent. This administration is so brazen in stealing in<\/div>\n
the NHIS that the Presidency has to recall and reinstate the indicted<\/div>\n
Executive Secretary of the Scheme, Prof. Usman Yakubu, while he was<\/div>\n
still being quizzed by the EFCC for alleged corruption.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Betraying its complicity in the NHIS racket, the Presidency has refused<\/div>\n
to speak out on allegations that it reinstated the suspended Executive<\/div>\n
Secretary to conceal the earlier looting and protect members of the<\/div>\n
cabal and has also refused to order any form of investigation in the<\/div>\n
exposed frauds.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The magnitude of direct looting that is going on in revenue agencies,<\/div>\n
such as the NNPC, Nigerian Ports Authority, Customs, Federal Inland<\/div>\n
Revenue Services, MDAs and even the TSA already infiltrated by<\/div>\n
Presidency cabal and APC interests, who hide under spurious investment<\/div>\n
portfolios, inflated concessions, allocations, jobs and other financial<\/div>\n
sleazes to siphon public funds are better imagined.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the last three years, the nation has witnessed unparalled impunity to<\/div>\n
the extent that the President could even unilaterally make approval of<\/div>\n
releases of public funds without recourse to the legislative instrument<\/div>\n
of the appropriation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We also want to remind Nigerians that this administration has refused to<\/div>\n
take any step to investigate the alleged stealing of N9 trillion<\/div>\n
($25billion dollars) in NNPC through corrupt contracts, the alleged<\/div>\n
diverting of N1.1trillion worth of crude to service APC interests, the<\/div>\n
alleged stealing of N18 billion Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) funds<\/div>\n
among other grafts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This Buhari-led APC administration is fast looting our nation into an<\/div>\n
economic desert and we urge Nigerians not to spare any thought in voting<\/div>\n
them out come 2019.<\/div>\n
