APC governors disown Obaseki over allegation of currency printing
The Forum said it was shocked to see yet another response from Mr Obaseki to the rebuttal by the Finance Minister, insisting that the March 2021 FAAC was augmented via the printing of currency.
The Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) has debunked claims by Governor
Godwin Obaseki of Edo that the Federal Government printed between N50 billion – N60 billion in March.
The forum in a statement by its chairperson, Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi on Sunday in Abuja, said Mr Obaseki’s claims did not reflect the true position of things.
Mr Obaseki had claimed that the Federal Government printed the amount to bridge the shortfall in the distribution of federation revenues to the three tiers of government in March.
