However, Ndume in an interview on Trust TV’s Daily Politics argued that the loan is “unconstitutional and unfair.”
He said, “I will go to court on that because it is unfair, illegal and unconstitutional. Let me give you example, we are two now in the studio and you say you are going to borrow one million and share among the two of us, how are you going to select the two? Beside that if you are giving to the two and they are the ones to pay that is okay but it is all Nigerians that will pay.JAMB Portal
