The senate has summoned Kemi Adeosun, minister of finance, and Godwin Emiefele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), over the alleged withdrawal of $462 million from the federation account without approval of the national assembly.

Also summoned to give reasons for the said withdrawal is Mansur Dan-Ali, minister of defence.

The upper legislative chamber summoned the trio after Sam Anyawu, a senator from Imo state, raised a motion at plenary on Tuesday.

Anyanwu drew the attention of his colleagues to the alleged withdrawal of the money.

He made reference to section 80 (2) and (3) of the 1999 constitution which prohibits such withdrawal without the consent of the lawmakers.

“I have it on good authority that in March 2018, a whopping sum of $462 million was withdrawn from the federation account and paid for helicopters to an American firm called Helicopter Tecno Fights Helicopters,” he said, adding: “And I know there was no such approval from the senate.”

He urged the lawmakers to invite the three governnment officials “to tell us how this money was withdrawn and paid to an American company without the approval of the senate.”

The upper legislative chamber adopted his prayers for the trio to be summoned by the committee on appropriation and asked it (the committee) to report back to them after one week.

APC campaign fund

How can senator Anyanwu make such allegations without concrete evidence? That amount is not a joke. What does he mean by "on good authority"?
I am getting tired of Nigeria

Sai barber

All they do is summoning people up and down at the end nothing to show for it.

Did you also question when APC were making up amounts GEJ stole?

Same old criminals, same old practice...

I do not take everything from APC very serious. They are expert propagandists but we cannot continue like this. The senator should not throw figures around without concrete evidence

On the other thread a 37 year old man is about ending his life due to suffering..

Senator Samuel Anyanwu my Governor 2019. Fearless Senator

Buhari gov't operates like there's no law in the land

Stay on social media and keep complaining. The northerners are ready to vote buhari in 2019.

Dogs don't eat dogs

lol

What whey they thinking while collecting the money

They forgot the IGBO man senator is there and watching over all the debit alert like his primary business

If Senate begins to summon every official just because of a rumor heard from a 'good authority', then the Senate invitation may not be accorded the right respect subsequently.

Even though APC bandied some fictitious figures around in the heat of the last campaign to further denigrate the battered image of the last administration, I think we shouldn't continue in that direction any longer

This of course does not mean the allegation cannot be true. Nigeria politicians are capable of anything.

Campaign fund being spread

I hear,so dat nigerians will u say u guys r working.

ok. another movie unfolding

Shit hole country how una dey

Someone help change that to Naira.

As we are gearing up for the Presidential elections, we should also keep our eyes on the Senate. The Senate can frustrate even the best of Presidents.

Let's kick out every politician that is a deadwood and who contributes nothing to our growth.

166.32 billion naira?

This is mind-boggling! The elections siphoning has obviously started.

Someone said he is fighting corruption but they won't tell. you about this.... $482 million for helicopter? who we offend for this country?

Unless the helicopter will be used to take him to daura next year.

Show go dey on the day of judgement too bad I won't have time to watch since I go be in my heavenly abode

The frauds under buhari are greater than GEJ

This government is desperate to win 2019 election by all means they will use money and thuggery to achieve this except God says otherwise.So expect more illegal approvals of funds.
