President Muhammadu Buhari will soon address the nation on the efforts by his government to recover stolen funds and divulge how much is in the kitty.


Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun gave the indication after Tuesday night national caucus meeting of the party in Aso Villa, which was presided over by President Buhari.

Oyegun also gave the assurance that the recovered stolen funds would be expended judiciously through necessary legislative approval, as and when necessary.

He said that the president would soon address the nation on how much was recovered. He said the expanded national caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) met to discuss issues concerning the party and the state of the nation’s economy.

Briefing State House correspondents after the meeting, which started around 8.35 p.m and lasted for about four hours, the APC National Chairman, Mr John Odigie-Oyegun, said the meeting also discussed the challenges facing the APC-led federal and state governments.

According to him, the meeting also deliberated upon the more effective and efficient ways of implementing the 2016 budget, when finally approved by the National Assembly.

“Basically we are expecting the budget to be out and once the budget is out implementation of our promises to Nigerian people will begin and these are all the issues or part of the issues which we discussed and that is what is critical to us, delivering on our promises to the people of this nation.

“So, we are waiting for the budget.

“As a party and as a caucus, we discussed all the issues and all challenges that have occurred since elections and decided on a course of action,’’
 he said.
