The Federal Government is not paying $100 million out of the $308 million it is drawing down as part of the cash stashed away in foreign banks by the late head of state, Sani Abachi, to Kebbi State Governor, Abubakar Bagudu, Malami has said.
Nigeria’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami revealed this as he reacted to reports that the Buhari government was giving the money to the governor.
According to Malami, there is zero truth to the reports since the agreement the country has with other nations in repaying the money did not make provision for a 3rd party payment.
We await more details on this.
