A fresh allegation has intensified an ongoing political dispute. DG Adeniyi claims the crisis began after he rejected a demand for N12.5 billion. The statement has attracted nationwide attention.
ABUJA, FCT — DG Adeniyi has alleged that the crisis surrounding his office started after he refused to honour a request for N12.5 billion allegedly made by the Chief of Staff. According to a statement attributed to DG Adeniyi, the disagreement began immediately after he declined the request, bringing the matter into the public spotlight.
According to the statement, DG Adeniyi maintained that the alleged demand marked the turning point in his relationship with the Chief of Staff. He claimed the refusal led to growing tension and disagreements that later developed into the current crisis. Extra News Nigeria has not independently verified the allegation, and the Chief of Staff has not publicly responded to the claim at the time of filing this report.
Speaking on the matter, DG Adeniyi insisted that he stood by his decision not to approve the alleged request. He said the disagreement had nothing to do with his official responsibilities but stemmed from his refusal to release the funds. The statement urged the public to allow the facts to emerge through the appropriate channels.
The allegation comes amid increasing public interest in accountability and transparency within government institutions. Similar disputes involving senior public officials have often generated widespread reactions and prompted calls for official clarification. However, authorities have yet to announce any formal investigation into the latest claim.
The development means attention may now shift to official responses from the individuals and institutions involved. Any investigation or public clarification could determine the next stage of the dispute. Until then, the allegation remains the position of DG Adeniyi, while members of the public await responses from other parties connected to the matter.
