The Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Finance Mr. Linus Nkan finally came out in an attempt to write off the increasing questions of the Akwa Ibom people concering Gov Nyesom Nwike’s recent revelations over the 13% derivation arrears refund and the whereabouts of the funds.

But Senator Bassey Albert (OBA) who made the revelations earlier, replied Mr. Nkan thus;

"The Commissioner for Finance has further disgraced the government of the state with such a response. I ask the Commissioner for Finance to read the budget speeches the governor presented to the House of Assembly in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, if any mention was made concerning the said 13% Derivation refund till date."

"Not until the recent revelations."

"There is no where in the budget speeches for the 3 years that the 13% derivation refund was mentioned. The speeches were filled with lamentations about Covid-19 and recession and economic meltdown and that there was no funds to run the budget which even led to the slashing of salaries of political office holders."


OBA reminded Mr Nkan that financial matters are “not essay writing” but are made of figures. So stop deceiving yourselves.

Ado okay.
Yak ise as e go be

Wike has done a lot about state governors.

That's why his music band always sings Pepper Dem for him.
