A former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has lambasted the National Assembly for regularly approving the loan requests submitted by the President Buhari without hassle.
The Senator, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th Assembly, stated this on Tuesday at the Delta State6 Civil Society Day in Asaba.
He said during their stay in the National Assembly, requests for loans were thoroughly scrutinised and debated seriously.
He also recalled that the committee where they had the likes of Dino, Ben Bruce, they threw away the loan requests that did not represent the general well being of Nigerians.
The former lawmaker, however, regretted that within two years, this National Assembly has approved over thirty billion dollar loans without serious debates.
According to him, this time, before the President sends a request for a loan, it has already been approved without scrutiny.
The Senator further noted with dismay, that many National Assembly members have been there for years without impact.
He urged the civil society organisations to prevail on the President to sign the electoral bill recently passed by the National Assembly.
