Nigeria’s former president Olusegun Obasanjo has criticized the national assembly for not opening its N115bn ($583.8m) budget to public scrutiny, accusing the lawmakers of sustaining a “culture of impunity, opaqueness and corruption”.
In a letter leaked to the media on Tuesday, Obasanjo described the national assembly’s budget of N4.7bn ($23.9 million) to purchase exotic cars for individual lawmakers as “insensitive” because it does not reflect the current economic realities.
