Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Rivers State Governor, Nyelsom Wike has backed his Edo State counterpart, Governor Godwin Obaseki on the alleged printing of N60 billion by the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that the Edo State Governor had recently accused the Federal Government of printing N60 billion to support allocation for States and Local Governments in March.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, had dismissed the claim, stating that the governor\u2019s comment was untrue.<\/p>\n

However, Obaseki\u2019s claim had generated controversies as some concerned Nigerians including the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called for the Minister\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Governor Wike in a tweet on his verified Twitter handle on Monday said Obaseki understands the All Progressives Congress Government, hence there was an element of truth in his claim.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians need to know the true state of our economy and the truth concerning the printing of N60bn by the Central Bank of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you hear what the Central Bank Governor said, instead of answering the question Nigerians are asking, he said the governors do not want to pay back the bailout fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is not an issue. Bailout is a loan, if you want to take it, go ahead, but answer whether or not you printed N60 billion\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
