Governor of Nasarawa State Tanko
Al-Makura has denied spending N1.5 billion on his son’s wedding in the United
States, stating that the state government only contributed N20 million to
event.
Al-Makura however,
reminded concerned groups that he was personally capable of spending such a sum
having been a successful businessman before becoming governor.
Al-Makura, who spoke
through his Director of Press D.O.P Illiasu Yakubu referred politicians in
doubt as to the governor’s financial worth to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB),
which he said documented the governor’s assets before taking over office.
His reaction did not go
down well with the opposition as the Peoples Democratic Party PDP insists it is
going ahead with its facts finding mission to ascertain what is left in the
state treasury so as to carry out the necessary action.
The PDP, whose senior
official spoke on condition of anonymity said they are already in touch with
the anti graft agencies and are almost done with documents that would nail the
governor when their case is finally presented.
