“Why are the other 35 Governors silent”- Shehu Sani says as Seyi Mankinde denies claims by Akpabio that N30billion was given to Governors to address inflation in their states

Senator Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker, raised concerns about the lack of response from 35 state governors regarding the allegation that they each received N30 billion from the federation account to address inflation and the soaring cost of food within their states.

Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, said an “unverified report” showed that state governors received N30 billion each from the federation account to alleviate the economic hardship and ravaging hunger in their respective domain.

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State declared that there was no truth in the claim by Akpabio that states of the federation got an additional N30 billion each outside of their statutory revenue allocations.

But, Sani is not satisfied that only Makinde has reacted to the report, denying the claim by the Senate President. He wrote:

“Akpabio made claim that N30 billion was shared to Governors. Makinde denied and disputed the Claim. Why are the other 35 Governors silent?”
