GEJ Asks Groups to Refund Unspent N2tr Campaign Money

Our politicians like I would always say prefer winning elections than actually carry out the purpose of being elected – And this is why, you see them spend trillions on campaigns without feeling guilty(me! thinking out loud) – According to Punch, President Goodluck Jonathan and his party, Peoples Democratic Party, after loosing out in the March 28 and April 11 elections, are asking the party and government officials, who handled campaign funds, to refund unspent monies, or those not judiciously expended…

The report says:

Jonathan, credible sources said, has also set up a committee of five to get those with the funds to return them.
Sources within the party and the government told our correspondents that Jonathan was disturbed that despite giving campaign coordinators, ministers, special advisers, close aides and friends, support groups and traditional rulers over N2tr in cash, most of them could not deliver their polling booths and local governments.
The President was said to have been further irked by the results of an investigation he ordered.
The probe showed that some coordinators used campaign funds to buy very expensive properties, especially in Abuja, and luxury cars.
Some of the funds have also been traced to the bank accounts of senior party and government officials, who were charged with the disbursement of funds to voters and groups.

Lets stop there first, N2tr – Wouldn’t have tackled a little bit of unemployment???
