Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum and Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, says the Federal Government cannot commence its plans to make deductions from the Federation Account for payment of consultants for the Paris Club refund.
Governor Fayemi said this in Abuja on Tuesday on the sidelines of the 27th Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja.
Federal government has begun the deduction from the Federation Account for payment of $418 million to private consultants who took part in the Paris Club refund.
Fayemi said the governors are not in support of the decision, adding that a situation where the Federal Government makes arbitrary deductions without the input of state governors is wrong.
He said governors have agreed not to collect any allocation from the Federation Allocation Account (FAAC) until the issues are resolved.
