“If the PDP did not steal the money, we would not need to borrow”- Oshiomole

Category: Nigerian National News

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has said that his government was forced to borrow from the World Bank because the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led government looted Nigeria’s resources.

Oshiomhole recently secured a $75 million development loan from the World Bank on behalf of his state after President Muhammadu Buhari wrote the Senate seeking approval of the sum.

The governor made the comments while speaking with journalists at the Government House on Sunday, August 16, 2015.

Oshiomhole said:

“If the PDP did not steal the money, we would not need to borrow. What we lost from the NLNG under the PDP Federal Government was about $11.6 billion. Edo State’s share of that money was more than N30 billion.”

“If you realise that from every one billion dollars, we get more than N2.7 billion. So if PDP did not steal and bleed the economy dry, our legitimate revenue stolen by the past PDP government and its men is more than that.”

“PDP is simply not in a position to blame the victims of their own looting which is unprecedented in the history of the country. My hope is that they would be brought to justice.”

“PDP should simply shut up because they destroyed everything. Carry out your own investigations. You read in the papers how much our neighboring states are borrowing? You heard of N20billion, N30 billion under two months. To do what, to settle the invisibles. You hear them talking about N14.5 billion. We are not borrowing to pay salaries, we are able to do that in spite of the massive looting by the PDP.”

“I appeal to the media because you are victims and you must interrogate these thieves when they break the highway rules and want to divert you. When you ask questions, they say you want to witch-hunt. Why won’t you witch-hunt when the witches are killing people in the village.”

Oshiomhole recently alleged that a former minister under the PDP administration had made away with $6 billion in national funds.
