By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Punch
The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) is asking the Nigerian government to publish accounts relating to 250 billion naira in Nigeria LNG dividends which Governor Seyi Makinde says are being withheld from the states. The Presidency disputes the accusation and says the amount cited is misleading, according to Punch, which reports statements from both sides.
The Allied Peoples Movement (APM), through its presidential campaign organisation, is calling on the Nigerian government to publish financial documents relating to 250 billion naira in Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas dividends intended for the states, according to Punch.
Richard Nnanna Ihediwa, APM’s director of strategic communications, challenged the Presidency’s denial and demanded an account from the administration of President Bola Tinubu. The governor of Oyo State and APM presidential candidate, Seyi Makinde, had said the previous week that the dividends were being withheld by the federal government, according to Punch.
