Minister accuses APC government of corruption, mismanaging of $2bn

The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, has accused the Plateau State Government of mismanaging over $2 billion loan collected.

According to the minister in a statement, the APC-led administration in Plateau was not prudent in managing resources.

“Where is the $2 billion loan collected from African Development Bank for potatoes processing factory payable in 25 years? Where is the factory located? Or where is the money kept and whose account?

“Why did the state government keep the issue of the loan secret?” the minister said in a statement he personally signed in response to an attack on him by the APC chairman in the state.

“What is happening to LG funds? What is happening to 5 per cent meant for the traditional council?”

The minister in the statement also accused the Governor Simon Lalong administration of lying about the security situation in the state; and of deceiving President Muhammadu Buhari.

”And if peace has returned to Plateau, why was the LG elections suspended because of security concerns? Is it not true that Governor Jang constructed all the roads in Jos and Bukuru metropolis except for state low cost -Dong road? You were present when former President Goodluck commissioned Federal Secretariat bridge, why did Governor Lalong mislead the president to recommission it again?” he said.
