Ribadu Report: FG Acted In Bad Faith — ACN

Sequel to the president’s dismissal of Ribadu’s report on oil receipts as shoddy, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has expressed regret that? the federal government might have acted in bad faith.

In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the action of a presidential aide, Dr. Doyin Okupe, in rubbishing the report and, by extension, the members of the task force, will make credible Nigerians wary of serving in similar panels in future.

“The fact that the FG has not come out to refute Dr. Okupe’s crude comments on the report is a clear indication that the position he enunciated publicly on the report represents that of the government.

“Saying the task force did not complete its assignment and accusing its chairman of disinformation and politicization amount to preparing the grounds for the dumping of the report,’’ it said.
