El-Rufai alleges Tinubu illegally deducts N1.5tr from Federation Account purportedly for security without results
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai has accused Bola Tinubu of abusing his presidential powers by unlawfully deducting ₦100 billion monthly from the Federation Account for 15 months running without approval by the National Assembly (NASS).
That totals 1.5 trillion spread over 15 months.
El-Rufai, who earlier this year defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the coalition African Democratic Congress, described the deductions as unconstitutional and demands Tinubu’s impeachment.
He bared his mind on Arise Television where claimed the funds are allegedly allocated to security agencies but have failed to tackle escalating insecurity across the country.
El-Rufai questioned the lack of transparency in the deductions alongside worsening insecurity.
