• OPC accuses President of running down economyMinister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami and his Transportation counterpart, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, have faulted the National Assembly’s position that the nation’s sovereignty was at risk following the loan agreement with China. Malami clarified that diplomatic immunity has to do with the nation’s sovereignty and corporate existence while commercial immunity is more of commitment to ensure repayment of loans. On his part, Amaechi stated: “Nobody has signed out anything. Also yesterday, the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) accused the current administration of running down the economy through its numerous borrowing. It noted that the “financial recklessness of both the past and present administrations actually put the country’s economy in the woods.”
