Nigeria APC Party Says 'No Going Back On N5,000 Promise'

The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday said it will not renege on its promise to pay N5, 000 each to 25 million vulnerable Nigerians.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said this in a statement on Friday.
APC insisted it had devised creative means to fulfil its electioneering promises, including payment of social security allowance to the unemployed.

The statement said, “The non-implementation of the payment policy so far is due to the fact that it was not included in the 2015 budget.
“The Muhammadu Buhari administration has been busy putting in place measures that will make it possible to start the implementation of this project.
“Such measures include the introduction of the Treasury Single Account (TSA)
“We are happy to inform Nigerians that as at the end of September 2015, over N1.4 trillion which hitherto was lying unproductive in various commercial banks has been recovered. The money had been lodged in the TSA.”
The present administration, according to the party, was poised to embark on a massive infrastructure renewal programme.
