The Federal Inland Revenue Services, FIRS, has reacted to a report widely published in the media yesterday that the agency supported Nigeria’s presidency with the sum of N40bn during the last concluded presidential report.

According to FIRS, the speculation was said to have been fueled by careless allegations raised by former spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Timi Frank.

The FIRS said that Frank accused it of supporting APC campaigns with the sum of N40bn and N90bn at different periods through Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.

The nations revenue service, however, described Frank’s allegation as “wicked, malicious and a calculated attempt” to smear its image and that of the Vice President.

In a statement signed by Head, Communications and Servicom Department, Wahab Gbadamosi, FIRS insisted that Frank’s allegation was a campaign of “calumny, vilifying, libellous, unfounded in fact, irresponsible and a brazen assault on the integrity of the Service.”
