The Nigerian Presidency has formally rejected allegations made by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, who claimed that the federal government is withholding ₦250 billion in Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) dividends from each state. The Presidency characterized these claims as false and urged the public to disregard them.
Governor Makinde had further alleged that the distribution of these funds was being delayed until after the 2027 general elections. The federal government’s denial serves as a direct rebuttal to these accusations, which have sparked a public dispute between the executive branch and the state leadership.
