Former Presidential Candidate Expresses Concerns Over Loans and Lawmaker Vehicle Purchase
In a recent statement posted on X, former presidential candidate Professor Kingsley Moghalu expressed serious concerns about the financial decisions being made by the Nigerian government.
His critique primarily focused on the government’s plan to secure a $1.5 billion loan from the World Bank for budget support and the reported purchase of luxury SUVs for members of the 10th National Assembly.
Borrowing from the World Bank: A Risky Move?
Professor Moghalu began by addressing the government’s decision to obtain a $1.5 billion loan from the World Bank.
This loan, intended for budget support, raised significant questions about Nigeria’s fiscal responsibility and its potential impact on the country’s economic stability.
Extravagant Vehicle Purchase for Lawmakers: Out of Touch with Reality
In addition to criticizing the loan, Moghalu strongly condemned the reported plan to purchase SUVs worth a staggering N160 million each for the 360 members of the House of Representatives.
These lavish expenditures on luxury vehicles, especially in the face of ongoing economic hardships across the nation, were deemed highly inappropriate.
Lack of Seriousness in Leadership
Professor Moghalu’s message on X underscored that these developments are symptomatic of more profound issues within Nigeria.
It serves as a stark reminder of the government’s need for responsible financial management and a more acute focus on the welfare of the Nigerian populace.
The critique highlights the discrepancy between leadership decisions and the challenges faced by the country, making it clear that more responsible choices are urgently required.
