Public affairs commentator Mahdi Shehu warns that lawmakers allegedly involved in abuses of constituency projects will face consequences. In posts on his X account, Shehu reacts to reports that multiple federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) received a combined sum of over N205.96 billion for projects that, according to the reports, fall outside their statutory mandates in the 2026 Appropriation Act. Shehu alleges that some members of Nigeria’s National Assembly treat constituency projects as personal business and use public funds for private gain. He claims that certain lawmakers “stash” money in MDAs under the banner of constituency projects, pressure or intimidate agency heads, and award contracts to firms linked to themselves, their family members, or associates at inflated prices. He also alleges that some of the funded projects are poorly executed or abandoned. Shehu does not specify which lawmakers are involved in the allegations in the provided reports, but he states that those allegedly responsible will not escape the consequences of their actions, adding that the harm caused by alleged misuse of public funds will eventually return to those he says are responsible. The warnings are presented as commentary responding to the reported spending figures.
