What do you want done about the ₦8.8 trillion in unrecorded public spending that the IMF found?
I have demanded immediate action. The National Assembly must convene emergency investigative hearings on the IMF's findings without delay, because this is a constitutional emergency, not something to be managed by press conferences. I have also demanded that the Auditor-General of the Federation be empowered to carry out a full, independent audit of all the off-budget spending referenced in the IMF's report, and that the findings be published in full, without redaction, for every Nigerian to see.
Where this comes from

The poverty of Nigerian citizens today is not fate. It is policy, or more precisely, it is the consequence of the absence of transparent, accountable, productive economic policy, replaced by the private management of public resources for political purposes under the Tinubu-led APC administration.
I hereby demand the following immediate actions from all relevant institutions:
One, the National Assembly must convene emergency investigative hearings on the IMF's findings without further delay. The revelation of ₦8.8 trillion in unrecorded public expenditures is a constitutional emergency, not a matter to be managed through ministerial press conferences or diplomatic qualifications.
Two, the Auditor-General of the Federation must be immediately empowered and directed to conduct a full, independent audit of all off-budget expenditures referenced in the IMF's Article IV consultation, and those findings must be published in their entirety and placed in the public domain without redaction.
