The Nigeria Governors’ Forum says the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, was working against the public’s interest by insisting on the payment of $418 million to private consultants from the accounts of state governments. The consultants are claiming a percentage of Paris Club refunds as payment of services they said they rendered to the states and local government. The spokesman of the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, Umar Gwandu, says the AGF suggested the states and local governments had acted in bad faith for taking the case to court. The NGF, says the AGF’s actions raise questions of propriety and the spirit of justice.
