Kingsley, who was future as a guest on a Channels Television programme Politics Today, on Wednesday, revealed that Governor Yahaya Bello administration had only been able to access N20bn bailout funds which has made them unable to pay salaries and pension.
“On the issue of salaries, PDP caused most of the problems we face. They took bonds and they were expending it on white elephant projects. We did not collect N30bn bailout, we took N20bn.
He said “What we needed to pay salaries and pensions projected N50.8bn which was approved by president Buhari. From the N50.8bn, we have accessed only N20bn, remaining N30.8bn, that is the reason why we are still owing salaries.”
