Senate Votes Down Oshiomhole’s Call for Military Spending Probe

The Nigerian Senate has rejected a motion by Senator Adams Oshiomhole calling for a comprehensive investigation into military spending. The proposal sought to audit funds allocated to defence and military operations over the years. During deliberations, a majority of senators argued that security issues are highly sensitive, especially as the country faces terrorism, banditry and kidnapping. They insisted that such matters require careful handling. Oshiomhole maintained that transparency and accountability in defence spending are crucial. Despite his appeal, the Senate voted not to proceed with the probe. Political observers say this decision may spark public debate on the National Assembly’s oversight role and funding for security agencies. The Senate has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting security efforts through legislation and budgetary provisions.
