To Imagine they claimed to have gotten all the alleged figures and date and locations and sure the contracts were awarded and funds released but cant give you names of the contractors...

Lies..

APC is currently in rapid propaganda mode..

Eg:
Kano - Zamfara road contract awarded at N23BN in 1999 abandoned. Does the line make sense to you?

PDP are good in that. Syphoning and lootings.
APC are perfect in handling abandoned projects.
PMB, our love for u keep skyrocketting daily.

you're a stupid fool,with boys like you,this country will never move forward.

If only you do read and understand, you would have seen where it was written that,the project were awarded and paid for between 2005 and 2015.

PDP totally ruined this country, how many of those contractors have the lifeless buhari government been able to prosecute?
