From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja
A coalition of political parties and Civil Society Organisation (CSOs) has called for a quick resolution of the controversy involving the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF) and Ned Nwoko over the Paris/London Clubs’ refund.
The group under the aegies of the Coalitions of the United Political Parties and Civil Society Organisations (CUPPSCSOs) made the call on Thursday at a press briefing, in Abuja.
The NGF and Nwoko had been at logger heads over disagreement, relating to Paris/London Clubs’ refunds over deductions from states and local government accounts.
The coalition in a statement read by the co-spokesman of the CUPP, Mark Adebayo, at the briefing, said all matters relating to the issues should be resolved in the overall interest of the country.
“We are all aware that recently there was a disturbing incident of claims and counterclaims regarding the Paris/London Club debt exit vis-ā-vis the roles played by consultants and the outstanding charges due to them,” he said.
“It is our sense of patriotic commitment that informs this Press Conference to ensure that Nigeria does that justice is done to all concerned on the issue of the Paris and London refunds. The issues related to the Paris/London Clubs’ refunds have to be laid to rest once and for all with all parties involved doing the needful to avert a more complicated dilemma for the country.”
