In a statement issued in Lagos today by the party’s national publicity secretary, Lai Mohammed, and obtained by The Cable, the APC accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of distorting the facts about the source of the $2.1 billion that President Muhammadu Buhari approved for the three tiers of government to share.
The statement also picked holes in the the claim by Olisa Metuh, PDP’s publicity secretary, that former Jonathan refused to share $5.5 billion dollars from Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) dividends because he wanted to leave money for Buhari.
The statement read, ”The revelations concerning the deep rot in the system that will come in the weeks and months ahead will shock even the most ardent critics of the Buhari administration’s salvaging efforts.
“Whereas the presidency corrected the initial erroneous report that the shared money was sourced from the excess crude account (ECA), the skittish opposition continued to insist it was from the ECA and that it was part of the ‘savings’ by the Jonathan administration.
