The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly defended the borrowing of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying taking the foreign facility \u201cis for the good of the country\u201d.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\nThe party said the money been sourced \u201cis used to develop critical infrastructure that is stimulating economic growth, generating jobs, reducing poverty and improving the general well-being of the citizenry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Secretary to the APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, in reaction to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party\u2019s (PDP) condemnation of the proposed loans by the Federal Government, said the borrowings under the APC-led administration were prudently and transparently utilised for the purpose they were secured for.<\/p>\n

Akpanudoedehe said things were difficult unlike during the PDP era when loans secured were misappropriated.<\/p>\n

He insisted that borrowings under the APC were hinged on genuine needs and based on the necessity to strengthen the foundation of the national economy to achieve the desired primary purpose of the government of uplifting the living standard of the citizens.<\/p>\n

According to the APC Secretary: \u201cBorrowings by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government is for the good of the country as the money is used to develop critical infrastructure that is stimulating economic growth, generating jobs, reducing poverty, and improving the general well-being of the citizenry.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike in the brazen looting days of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the borrowings are designed to finance the deficit in the 2021 budget to enable the realization of the Nigerian Economic Sustainability Plan that touches key sectors such as infrastructure development, boosting healthcare services, strengthening agriculture to deepen food security, more energy generation and continued tackling of the ravaging COVID-19 global pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the forgone, it is abundantly clear that the borrowing is hinged on genuine needs and based on the necessity to strengthen the foundation of the national economy and achieve the desired primary purpose of the government of uplifting the living standard of the citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was in PDP\u2019s era that loans to fund power generation, purchase arms and ammunition to fight a raging insurgency were misappropriated and diverted to fund PDP activities; and the borrowed money ultimately found its way to the pockets of cronies, friends and family members of administration officials. Nigeria is still servicing a $460 million loan taken from China to fund a phony Abuja Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) contract awarded in August 2010.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians should also reflect and recall that the PDP had in its 16 years of misrule pushed the country into a dark ditch of insolvency, and a period in which most state governments could not pay workers\u2019 salaries, not even the minimum wage, or settle contractors\u2019 bills and cater for patients in hospitals, to name a few.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a welcome and commendable change, the Buhari-led administration through its economic management skills bailed out states to pay salary backlogs and embarked on large-scale infrastructure development projects that stimulated the economy and exited the era of insolvency and recession caused by the ineptitude of the PDP administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe APC welcomes the continued and multi-partisan cooperation which exists between the executive and legislature on national issues. This will ensure good governance, particularly in the area of economic development. The country and citizens are the ultimate beneficiaries.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
