N30bn Palliative: Governor criticises Akpabio, says senate president playing politics with Nigerians’ welfare

The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has said, none of the state governors received N30 billion from the federation account to ameliorate inflation and high cost of living as claimed by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

The governor stated this on Thursday at the commissioning ceremony of a multi-billion naira Central Mosque in Iseyin area of the state.

Last September, the federal government said N2 billion was released to governors out of the N5 billion loan it offered to each state as a palliative to cushion the effect of the removal of fuel subsidy.
