You’ve no business building N22.15b palaces for monarchs, Atiku flays Tinubu
In a statement on Thursday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, the former vice president said the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is unambiguous on the distribution of governmental responsibilities and does not confer on the Federal Government the responsibility for constructing or renovating palaces belonging to traditional institutions.
Atiku noted that the constitutional breach is compounded by the refusal of the Federal Government to disclose the identities of the traditional rulers, the locations of the projects and the communities where the palaces are located, describing it as a blank cheque for corruption.
President Tinubu cannot, by the instrument of an Appropriation Act, assume powers that the Constitution deliberately withheld from the Federal Government,” he said.
