Eseme Eyiboh, spokesperson for Senate President Godswill Akpabio, has stated that his principal’s assertion regarding Governors receiving N30 billion from the Federal Government to alleviate hardship was misunderstood.

This comes after Governors Seyi Makinde and Umo Eno of Oyo and Akwa Ibom states respectively refuted the claim, emphasizing its inaccuracy.

Eseme stated that the primary objective of his principal’s statement was to encourage collaboration between state governments and President Bola Tinubu, aimed at implementing strategic interventions to alleviate the current economic situation in the country.

The statement highlights the genuine intention of urging state governments to collaborate with President Bola Tinubu’s Federal Government in implementing strategic interventions to alleviate the ongoing economic challenges in the country.

Additionally, it underscores the recognition of state governments as essential partners in the endeavors of President Tinubu’s administration, as well as their significance as stakeholders in legislative engagements aimed at bridging the gap between the legislature and the populace.

The President of the Senate consistently upholds a dedication to fostering teamwork and pledges to continue this commitment.

Therefore, he urges sub-national governments not to be sidetracked by any misinterpretation of the statement’s context and intended message.

Additionally, the President of the Senate acknowledges and values the ongoing efforts of the governors in alleviating the challenges posed by the current socio-economic climate, inviting further collaboration to advance the agenda for renewed hope.
