This follows reports of allegations by a former deputy spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress, APC, TIMI FRANK, that Vice President YEMI OSINBAJO started having issues when the presidency discovered that he mismanaged ninety billion naira allegedly made available by the FIRS for the 2019 election campaign.
FIRS’ director of information, WAHAB GBADAMOSI, has however dismissed the claim in a statement, noting that the agency had not received up to one hundred billion naira per annum, as Cost of Collection from the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee, FAAC.
He also described the claims, which according to him demonstrates an abysmal ignorance of the budgetary and expenditure process of the FIRS, as false, and a wicked attempt to smear the image of the company and that of the Vice President, Professor OSINBAJO.
The agency has demanded an apology from the former deputy APC spokesperson threatening to sue him for libel if he fails to do so.
