President Buhari To Probe GEJ

The Senate has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate the former president, Goodluck Jonathan over the management and financial engagement of the Subsidy Re-investment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P).

The president through the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation had ordered the presidential committee and workers of SURE-P to close shop and submit a comprehensive report of its activities to the presidency.

Vanguard reports that the Senate pushed for the investigation after a debate on the implementation of the N5000 payment to unemployed youths. While this motion was supported by the senators from The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) their counterparts in the All Progressives Congress (APC) were against the implementation of the payment.

After the intervention of the senate president, Bukola Saraki, Senator Babajide Omoworare moved that President Buhari should investigate the SURE-P and that Jonathan should account for every money spent.

“I want to move that the immediate past government be made to account for every penny spent on SURE-P and other poverty alleviation programmes, and I so move, Mr. President,”

This motion was supported by many APC senators.

The former boss of SURE-P, Christopher Kolade revealed that he risigned his position because of the prevalent corruption going on in the scheme as it had been hijacked by politicians.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
