The Presidency has dismissed allegation by some protesting Ijaw youths alleging that the Federal Government has stopped the allowances due to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
A statement issued by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu says the allegation that his bank accounts were also frozen was not true.
Shehu, says the presidency has confirmed with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF that the allowances of the former President and the other past leaders have being paid up to the second quarter.
Garba further explained that the past leaders have not been paid third quarter allowances but will get their dues when remittances are received by the SGF from the Ministry of Finance.
You may recall that President of the Ijaw Youth Council, Udengs Eradiri has yesterday accused the present administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari to tread with caution following the recent alleged harassment of the family of former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife Patience.
