The Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, had dismissed Obaseki’s claim, but the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, had hinted that the money could have been printed to support the economy
In a statement yesterday, Kebbi State Governor and chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum, Atiku Bagudu, said Obaseki’s claim did not reflect the true position of things.
“Given the significance of the statement from a sitting governor and the possible negative impact it has brought to the credibility of both the federal and state governments in managing government finances, the forum is obliged to put a statement out.
