The request sent to the Senate by President Muhammadu Buhari for approval of a $75 million loan request by Edo State may be running into turbulent waters, as protesters, on Wednesday, stormed the National Assembly, urging legislators not to approve the request by the Edo State government.

President Muhammadu Buhari had on Tuesday, August 4, 2015 written to the National Assembly seeking the approval of the loan being the second tranche of the $ 225 million World Bank granted the Edo State government under the 2012-2014 external borrowings.

The protesters displayed placards at the main entrance of the National Assembly, with some of the placards reading: “Don’t approve the loan”, ” We don’t want loan” and ” We want action”.

They stormed the assembly at about 10.a.m. when Senators were going in for the day’s legislative duties.

In the same vein, the Senate, on Wednesday, referred the request to its Standing Committee on Local and Foreign Debts.

The motion for the loan request was moved by the Senate leader, Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, and it was seconded by Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda of the FCT.

Ruling on the motion, the Senate President, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, granted Ndume’s request and referred it to the committee on debts.

KOSSYABLAZE.

Why is the April 2015 Nigerian law school examination results not out?

They keep postponing the release of the results keeping a lot of students in morbid tension.

We want change, not delay. Haba!!

Pls the relevant authorities should look into this as a matter of urgency.

I don't know why a mad man wif just less dan a year in office will wanna eat d star(future) of d people of Edo wit dat his foreign ekwensu called laila


I want to change my state, I know Rivers state will accept me.

Enemies of progress.

They already know that the governor is suffering from numerical diarrhea

See beef

Oshe baba waz up now.........

ROCHAS keenly waiting for the outcome, sure he needs loan too

PDP has cooked banga soup for APC.hope there's eba abi na agidi.

Edo state is yet to clear the backlog of loans granted them before and yet the President wants another approved? For what if I may ask Well, no one holds them accountable hence the carefree attitude they always display.

Ok na

May we learn to live within our means, may we amass wealth for generations unborn and not debts.

Peter obi suceeded in doing this for Anambra, thus providing Gov obiano a solid base for the giant strides he has been making. Thats why i say obiano owes his performance to peter obi.

In my state, our foolish Uduaghan left a debt of 600+billion naira, leaving the incoming govt bankrupt. Now our old bendel brothers(Edo) are abt to tow the same line. We need to enact a law to curtail this.

Erosion money

Hmm...sometimes you read some things and you just sigh....this is one...

Ok



Just came here to advertise my signature

Iara are you there sis?

Hmmm, and they think they can change anything with their movement?

Sponsored protesters. PDP will never change!

Approving more loans for the "GO & DIE" governor to squander on more frivolities.
These governors like Oshiomhole should be made to account for the funds they have received so far before granting them access to more funds to waste.

Ok na

d propagada game don start i no pdp go lik go against tins lik dis

see jealousy

akin

After the Raggae comes the Blues

Loan again?
seems Nigerian politicians never learn.

Lol, Adam Oshiomwhole could not even hold citizens of his state contented, instead he runs his mouth against people who served and had to withstand local and international pressure as they served Nigeria.

Roguish? With just one year left in office, why must Oshiomwhole go for such a jumbo loan?

The ugly midget in Edo govt house is looking for money for next year election. It's obvious this is d reason he was attacking NOI recently.

I pray the Senate turn down d loan request before this goat of a governor hand unpayable loan to generation to come in Edo

Sponsored protesters. PDP will never change!

Even when the truth is glaring to you?
Come to Edo and see the plight of the people.


How does he hope to pay back?
Ge os,sue to leave office in less than a year with no plan on how to service the loan yet you shout sponsored protesters.
