Nigerian governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have called for an urgent review of the country’s revenue sharing formula in favour of states. In a communiqué issued at the end of their meeting in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, the governors implored the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation, and Fiscal Commission to “urgently send the revised Revenue Allocation Formulae to Mr. President for onward transmission to the National Assembly for enactment, such that more resources are made available to states and local governments”. The communique read by Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto State and chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, said the new revenue formula should be made in favour of states and local government councils because that is “where ordinary Nigerians reside”.
