The opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has denied accusations by the governing All Progressives Congress, APC, that successive administrations never remitted any dividend paid by the Nigeria Liquefied Natural gas, NLNG, until the current administration of Muhammadu Buhari.
The APC spokesperson, Lai Mohammed, had earlier on Sunday issued a statement asking the Federal Government to urgently unravel what happened to the past Company Income Tax / Education Tax as well as dividends paid to the Nigerian government by the NLNG, against the background of published reports that the funds were never paid into the Federation Account as they should have been.
In its response by its spokesperson, Olisa Metuh, the PDP on Sunday described the statement by Mr. Mohammed as “misleading and outright falsehood.”
