The campaign organization of Senator Gbemi Saraki, the gubernatorial candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) has raised  the alarm over the decision of the Peoples Democtaric Party- led Kwara State government to secure a N1.35bn loan with barely one month to the end of its tenure.

The campaign organization said yesterday that a letter to this effect  has been sent to the State House of Assembly by the Governor.

The Campaign Organisation said “we will be glad to see that this government does not leave behind any abandoned project, we are however piqued by this latest move because we are aware that adequate budgetary provisions were made before the commencement of the projects.

“How does one justify the decision of the out-going government to take a whopping N1.35 billion for the completion of roads that have been under construction for more than two years when its tenure is terminating in just two months?”
“Every right-thinking Kwaran knows that the loan being sought could not have been truly meant for the completion of the roads as it is being claimed.

“Just last year, the same government floated a N30 billion bond for the purpose of completing all on_going projects in the state. We ask, on what has the N30 billion been spent? Are the roads to be completed now not part of the on-going projects for which the bond was secured?
