Mohammed Tajudeen, the financial secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara, on Sunday said Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, funded the by-election campaign expenses of Rep. AbdulRaheem Ajuloopin in 2018.
Tajudeen disclosed to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin that contrary to the claim of the lawmaker representing Ekiti, Irepodun, Isin and Oke-Ero Federal Constituency that he gave Mohammed N32.5million, the minister solely sourced for the campaign funds to prosecute the by-election and other elections in the State.
He said that the estimated amount for the by-election campaign was N26 million, adding that this was released to Bashir Bolarinwa, the Chairman of the party.

The National Assembly is currently seeking to amend the Nigeria Press Council Act and the National Broadcasting Commission Act. What do you make of these moves?
The National Assembly probably has good intentions in terms of fast-tracking that the media does a good job of entertaining, informing and educating the public. They think maybe there are excesses in the media and they should take steps to deal with the excesses but I think they are going about it the wrong way. Our intention is to engage them and see that all of us do what is right and ensure that we have a very robust media, which is vital to democracy
