Makinde Campaign Challenges Tinubu on NLNG Dividend Claims

The Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organization (MDPCO) has countered the presidency's claims that Governor Seyi Makinde's assertion about the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) dividend is false. The MDPCO accused President Bola Tinubu's administration of using distortions and propaganda to evade the core issues raised by Makinde, who alleged that the Tinubu government is intentionally delaying the release of NLNG dividend funds to states until after the 2027 elections.

In response to the presidency's denial, the MDPCO challenged the government to publish the relevant NLNG dividend receipts, Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) decisions, and official communications regarding the amounts received and their distribution timing. The organization emphasized that demanding accountability for public funds is a civic right and criticized the presidency for personal attacks against Makinde instead of addressing the substantive issues.
