Presidency denies withholding ₦250bn in NLNG dividends from states

The Presidency rejected Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde’s claim that the Federal Government is withholding ₦250 billion in Nigeria LNG Limited dividends for each state until after the 2027 elections. Bayo Onanuga, the president’s special adviser on information and strategy, said the figure conflicts with historical payments: NLNG has paid about $21.5 billion in dividends to the Federation over 25 years, with less than $3 billion paid since Bola Tinubu took office. He said paying ₦250 billion to each of the 36 states would total ₦9 trillion and require more than ₦33.68 trillion in dividends from a single payout. Makinde made the allegation at a 2027 budget consultation at the University of Ibadan on Friday; the Presidency accused him of making misleading statements.

Tinubu Has Turned the Middle Class into Beggars, Peter Ameh Says

Peter Ameh, former chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council, accused the Tinubu administration of pushing almost the entire Nigerian middle class into hardship through poorly designed, anti-people policies. He was responding to a UN report that 17.9 million Nigerians fell into multidimensional poverty over three years—the largest increase recorded anywhere in the world. Ameh cited fuel subsidy removal without adequate relief, inflation, naira devaluation and the high cost of living as forces that have depleted savings and weakened small businesses. He urged the federal government to review its reforms, create jobs, stabilise prices and protect vulnerable households.
