The Advanced People’s Democratic Alliance(APDA) has called on Federal Government not to accede to any request for further release of funds until a comprehensive and extensive audit is carried out to determine the true state of affairs in the States, especially in the face of the claims and counter claims of the state governments and labour unions.
In a press statement signed by the party’s national publicity secretary, Tosin Adeyanju, APDA commended the efforts of the the present administration in the payment of workers salaries through Paris club refund and bailout funds to states.
He said it is unacceptable that despite huge and timely release of these funds, no state has been adjudged to have utilised the funds for its primary purpose.
“APDA is equally of the stance that all releases as regards the payment of workers salaries should be done through the IPPIS in states which is in use at the federal level and has recorded astounding success in the timely payment of salaries and identification of ghost workers.
“APDA believes that the streamlining of all public sector workers salaries through the IPPIS would greatly reduce public funds wastage as cases of ghost workers has bedevilled the public sector for a long time.” he said.
He urged Nigerians to participate actively in the coming 2019 general elections by voting only credible persons into positions of public trust.
