The Senate has reacted to the the allegation by the former President Olusegun Obasanjo that the National Assembly was using constituency projects to siphon public funds, claiming that it was false.
Describing the allegation as spurious, Senator Abaribe, in a statement, said the former President’s comment was distant from the truth and nowhere near reality, adding that if it were so, the former President would not have tolerated such for the period he was the president of the country.
“President Obasanjo, for the avoidance of doubt, was the initiator of the constituency project in the year 2000," the statement added.
