Wednesday, turned ‎rowdy over Federal Government’s Social Intervention
Programme (SIP).
The fracas started when the Minority Leader, Senator Biodun Olujimi
alleged that the programme which was introduced by the Federal
Government with Nigeria’s moneu is ‘biased’.
She said it’s being run like it belongs to APC and Bunari.
The Ekiti female lawmaker alleged that
beneficiaries of the programme were being asked to provide details of
their Permanent Voter Card (PVC) in the application form.
While presenting a copy of the form as Evidence, she further alleged that ‘I Stand with Buhari’ was written on it,
and that the APC is using it as a means to fool voters as if they are
getting money to vote for Buhari, when in fact they should receive the
SIP money as Nigerians, irrespective of tribe or political affiliation.
before the Majority Leader, Senator Ahmad Lawan, who defended the
Buhari-led administration and the programme could speak, the chamber had
become noisy.
It was gathered that the All Progressives
Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) exchanged words
across the divide.
