There Is No Rift Between Okonjo-Iweala And Alison-Maduekwe – Presidency

The presidency has denied the administration is divided as rumors emanated that the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and her Petroleum Resources counterpart, Mrs Deziani Alison-Maduekwe, were at logger heads over unpaid petroleum subsidy claims.

The denial was made by presidential spokesman, Dr Reuben Abati, in Abuja on Wednesday as he told State House correspondents that such reports were speculative.

He, therefore, advised the media to refrain from publishing them.
