Publish The Dividend Receipts, Makinde-Daura Campaign Replies Presidency

The Makinde-Daura Presidential Marketing campaign Organisation (MDPCO) has challenged the Presidency to post documentary proof of Nigeria Liquefied Herbal Gasoline (NLNG) dividend receipts, following its reaction to allegations by way of the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Motion (APM) and Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde.

The MDPCO stated its consideration was once attracted to what it described as a lame strive by way of the Tinubu Presidency to evade the core problems raised by way of Makinde that NLNG dividends accruable to states are being withheld by way of the Federal Govt.

The Director of Strategic Communications MDPCO, Richard Nnanna Ihediwa, in a remark stated, “As an alternative of coming blank on why the fund is withheld, the Tinubu Presidency, in its feature hotel to lies, falsehood, distortions and propaganda, left the problem to mess around with unsupported figures within the bid to hoodwink Nigerians and divert public consideration from this constitutional violation and attack at the states,” the marketing campaign organisation stated.

It added, “If the Tinubu Presidency claims that Engr. Makinde is flawed in his statement that N250 billion NLNG dividend intended for states is being withheld, we problem President Tinubu to without delay inform Nigerians if the stated dividends had been paid to the states reasonably than resorting to non-public assaults at the APM presidential candidate.

“The Presidency seems over excited by way of its personal show of imperial grandeur, forgetting that Nigeria stays a democracy wherein tough responsibility for public price range is a civic proper, no longer an offence. Governor Makinde’s presidential ambition does no longer in any respect deny him that proper, nor does it exempt the Federal Govt from professional scrutiny.”

The organisation wondered the constitutional foundation for withholding price range intended for states.

“Additionally, and importantly, does the Presidency have any constitutional energy to withhold any price range accruing to the states in a federation?

“We subsequently problem the Presidency to post the related NLNG dividend receipts, Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) choices and respectable communications setting up the quantities gained, the sums licensed for distribution and the timing of the proposed bills to states,” it stated.

Consistent with the MDPCO, Nigerians deserve transparent solutions to a few basic questions: how a lot NLNG paid in dividends right through the duration below dialogue and the quantity credited to the Federation Account, and what sort of was once licensed for distribution to the states.

“Invoking NLNG’s cumulative dividend bills within the remaining 25 years does no longer resolution those questions. Historic totals can not, by way of themselves, determine the quantity gained right through a selected duration and the sum to be had for distribution. It does no longer resolution whether or not a selected fee was once proposed, licensed, gained, not on time or withheld. The ones questions can most effective be settled by way of the related monetary information.

“If the Presidency’s argument is that allocating ₦250 billion to every of the 36 states would quantity to ₦9 trillion, a sum NLNG hasn’t ever paid as a unmarried dividend because it alleged, that calculation does no longer get to the bottom of the subject. The query isn’t whether or not ₦9 trillion was once ever paid in one transaction, however the quantity this is in reality below dialogue as can also be established by way of the respectable information,” the organisation said.

The MDPCO defended Makinde’s integrity, announcing he isn’t given to propaganda.

“Engr. Makinde, the Governor of Oyo State and presidential candidate of the APM, is understood for his integrity. He isn’t given to propaganda and disinformation which might be the recognized stock-in-trade and coverage course of the Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress (APC) management. He has maintained a blank, issue-based marketing campaign devoid of mudslinging, incorrect information, disinformation and propaganda for which the APC is understood.

“The MDPCO stands by way of Engr. Makinde in his statement that President Tinubu is working a voodoo financial system the place executive flourishes on lies, the place the nationwide fortunes most effective beef up on paper and not using a corresponding growth within the harsh on a regular basis lifetime of voters below his management.”

It added that the Presidency is jittery over Makinde’s rising recognition.

“In any tournament, our marketing campaign is conscious that President Tinubu and his APC had been jittery and stressed over Engr. Makinde’s hovering recognition and the standard acceptance of his RESET NIGERIA Schedule message around the country for the reason that graduation of the marketing campaign.

“The Tinubu Presidency is disturbed as a result of Nigerians have known Engr. Makinde as a reputable choice to President Tinubu, resulting in the huge surge to his marketing campaign and the APM. It will have to subsequently come to phrases with the truth that no quantity of propaganda and lies in opposition to Engr. Makinde will lend a hand President Tinubu right now,” it stated.
