Re-Nigerian govt spends N3.5m monthly to feed El-Zakzaky
By Abdulmumin Giwa
This is not actually a rejoinder but a pointer to the disgrace the Nigerian government is putting itself into.
No responsible government could ever expose itself to this kind of embarrassments making it public that they are a bunch of looters.
Yeah, it could be true in the records that it is spending N3.5m monthly to feed the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky.
But in reality they actually use those figures to loot the public funds in the name of feeding the Sheikh.
The truth about the Sheikh is that he is the one actually catering for himself and buying all his domestic needs including the fueling of the generator of the place he is staying.
They are only using his name and the situation to squeeze out the funds from public coffers to enrich themselves. They don't use the funds for the exact purpose they extract it for from the government.
You can see an example from the case of Nigerian Prisons where the government claimed they spend N14,500:00 daily in feeding every individual prisoner in Nigeria. But a visit to the prison tells you that is all lies. The prisoner are malnourished and sick apart from living in congestion with absolutely zero hygiene.
They use every opportunity to loot public funds, the illegal detention of Sheikh Zakzaky is not an exception.
What they are saying is that they spend N42m annually in feeding the Sheikh. This totals to N126m in the last three years of his illegal detention.
This is said to be under the leadership of a claimed man of integrity who accepts to be surrounded by looters and thieves.
Even if such amount is allocated, it never reaches the revered Sheikh, lest they deceive Nigerians.
