According to Senator Omo-Agege, “it has come to the knowledge of the All Progressive Congress, APC, and the general public that the government of Delta state is yet again negotiating a loan facility for N40 billion (forty billion naira).
“It is our understanding that the need for such a facility has not been made public, neither has the purpose for which the credit is being sought.
“It is also to our knowledge that a bill seeking the approval for such a facility has not been presented before the House of Assembly and neither has approval been obtained.
