APC Chieftain Call On Nigerian Senate To Probe SGF, PTF Over Covid-19 Fund by PeterOnu(m): 10:47pm On Dec 23, 2020

Nigerian Senate has been called upon to investigate all the donations and allocations to the Boss Mustapha-led Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 from the federation account.

A chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Dr. Garus Gololo made this call at a press briefing Wednesday in Abuja.

Failure to probe the PTF under the leadership of Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mustapha; the APC chieftain threatened to approach the court and compel his probe.

Gololo also added that the nation needed no other lockdown, stressing that it would have adverse effects on the social, economic, and security situations of the country.

"I'm in support of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State on this. People are playing politics with this COVID-19. The figures so far released, should tell us which villages or communities the figures emanated from.

"What the masses need now is the security of lives and food security. Those in the villages don't know COVID-19, what they know is hunger and killings of their tribesmen. All the monies they are releasing to Boss Mustapha should be channeled to food production and fighting insurgencies. There is no COVID-19 as they peddle", Gololo said.

He lamented that "despite allocating the sum of N338bn to The PTF and another N8bn recently to fight COVID-19, the Committee is still demanding for another money to procure vaccines. For what"?

Gololo added that, though the Senate had invited the PTF once to explain how it expended the monies, Mustapha could not furnish the lawmakers with reasonable means for spending such a huge amount.

"Now Mustapha is gradually pushing for another lockdown. We won't allow that to happen. We the masses that voted for Buhari won't allow that to happen. Boss Mustapha didn't support Buhari, he lost his Council Ward in Hong local government area of Adamawa State to PDP. So, he won't tell us that he loves Buhari or Nigeria more than us.

"What some of them are after is not about fighting COVID-19, what they are after is enriching their pockets. We won't allow anyone to bring the integrity of Mr. President down. This government is committed to fighting corruption. Probing the SGF and his team should not be excluded", he added.
