Conference of Nigeria Political Parties, CNPP, has expressed shock over the confirmation by the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, that President Muhammadu Buhari approved the sum of N1,145,000,000.00 for the purchase of 10 Toyota Land Cruiser jeeps for Niger Republic at a time Nigerian students were on strike over inability of the Federal Government to meet the financial demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

The minister had at the end of the Federal Executive Council Meeting confirmed that President Buhari approved the purchase, arguing that Nigeria has a policy of assisting its neighbours to strengthen its capacity to deal with insecurity.

However, the CNPP in a statement signed by its Secretary General, Chief Willy Ezugwu, queried the intentions, asking, “how can Nigeria be fighting insecurity in another country while we are breeding insecurity at home by keeping energetic young Nigerians hopeless and idle for over five months due to ASUU strike?”

Describing the purchase of 10 vehicles for Niger Republic as a gesture that “amounts to unclothing Peter to clothe Paul”, the CNPP insisted that “the action is most insensitive to the continued suffering of Nigerian citizens who have not been able to have three square meals on the table in the last seven years of President Buhari administration.”
