Any borrowing will not be approved until it goes through the National Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President is not going to borrow again. That is not the essence of the summit. When he meets with other presidents at the multilateral meetings, whatever is done there will not go through the back door. That meeting will be reported and whatever action is taken will go through the National Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President is aware of Nigerians\u2019 clamouring against borrowing. He doesn\u2019t live in space. He lives among the people. Many times, at the Federal Executive Council meeting when issues of borrowing come up, he talks about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe says he knows people are saying his administration is borrowing too much, but we are not borrowing to put in our pockets. We are borrowing for development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adesina said that this is the difference between the Buhari regime and others who he accused of \u201cborrowing to steal, to pocket and to waste.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis administration will borrow and use it for development. And we can see evidence of those borrowings and the salutary impact it has had on our national infrastructure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/09\/20\/borrowing-to-accumulate-debt-for-next-generations-is-criminal-obasanjo-tells-buhari-govt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent outburst by former President Olusegun Obasanjo<\/a> who said it is wasteful to borrow for consumption, Adesina said, \u201cI read what president Obasanjo said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said clearly that when you borrow for development, there is nothing wrong with it. That is the purpose of what the former president said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhoever wants to take a negative slant can do so. But the essence of what the former president said was that there is nothing wrong with borrowing for development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd one thing about this Buhari administration is that it borrows for development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explains that \u201cMany times, the Minister of Finance has come out to say that the extent of borrowing to Nigeria\u2019s GDP is tolerable. That the GDP can accommodate the borrowing. If it goes beyond that, there will be a red flag.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, it may be on the high side but the GDP can accommodate it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if 100 per cent of what is borrowed actually goes for development, the aide said the question is better answered by the finance minister.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cPropositions for borrowing that are brought before the FEC meeting. It must be thoroughly discussed. If anything comes and it\u2019s for consumption, it will not sail through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He insisted that the borrowings are largely for capital projects.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about a probable protest on September 24 when the President is due to address the assembly, Adesina said, \u201cthat\u2019s would be consistent with democracy. If some people march in solidarity for the President, then it is okay for others to march against him. It is allowed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has said that the administration does not borrow to consume but to invest in capital projects that will drive development.
