Our View

People keep on talking about arms, arms, and arms but nobody has seen the facts and figures to know whether the money was meant for arms or not. 

I am saying that it could not be meant for arms but security votes. It was for security votes. Normally, security vote is at the mercy of the governors and the President and some security chiefs. It is something that is a secret. Nobody knows what goes on there. Nobody will tell you how security votes are spent. 

So for the first time now, we have seen a government that appears to have engaged in deliberate act of trying to know how security votes are spent. I am not trying to justify it but I am saying that none of the APC governors could swear with the Quran or the Bible that they never dipped their hands in their security votes to bring the present government into power.

 Where did they get the money to fund the activities that brought Buhari to power? Most of these monies could have come from Lagos, Edo, Kano and Rivers states and nobody is asking questions about the security votes of those states.
