The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has apologised to the state governors over his comment on the N30bn hardship allowance allegedly given to them. In response to the Senate President, some governors, like Seyi Makinde of Oyo State refuted the claim. Makinde said, “This is not the time to play politics, as we have real issues that deserve real solutions. “The unfortunate conjectures to take away the kernel in the material facts of FAAC payment are rather regretted. He, therefore, urged the sub-national governments not to be distracted by any misunderstanding of the context and true meaning of the statement.
