The service said this in a statement by the Director, Communications, Mr Wahab Gbadamosi, in reaction to claims by a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr Timi Frank, that it supported the APC, through Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, with N90bn.
The FIRS said in the last four years since the Executive Chairman of FIRS, Mr Tunde Fowler, supervised operations at the FIRS, the agency had not received up to N90bn per annum as cost of collection from the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee. The service said it was from the remittances from FAAC which had never grossed up to N100bn per annum that it paid salaries and emoluments and trained its over 8,000 members of staff, and managed over 150 offices.The statement reads in part, “The FIRS operates on behalf of Nigerians. Taxpayers’ money, including the operational funds of the service, is sacred and we exercise extra care and diligence in expenditures, even after such funds must have been appropriated by the National Assembly.
The FIRS in the statement asked members of the public to ignore the claims of the former national publicity secretary of the APC as he was only seeking cheap popularity.All rights reserved.

Pathetic government agency. Everything is possible in Nigeria. Here things must always turn out bad. Our foundation is corruptly bad. Evil

You see,I told them. I told them that you spent more than 90bn. O jare,tell them how much you spent jare so that doubting Thomases can now rest.
Wait till forensic experts turn in their report.
We never expected you to say you did even though we know you actually did. APC spent billions just to win the presidential election, and we know that Buhari didn't even have ₦60,000,000 to buy his nomination form.
The OfficialAPCNg and any product from Tinibu are never known to identify with the truth.
So how much did you finance it with
Okay But with how much na?
Will you say, you did, if you did?
How do you expect us to ignore such claims when every sector is under the control of the Presidency? I believe there must be an atom of truth in this allegation.
How much did u now use ?
Then how much was used
Lol, na who we go ask🤷
That Timi Frank with cancer of the mouth as a result of excess drinking of Kaikai should be charged to court for libel.
If you actually did, will you tell Nigerians..?
So where did the money came from?
Why do you even bother. A people which would rather bask in hypocrisy and negative wishes for themselves are better left alone in their ignorance and mediocrity. This is exactly why Trump finds Africa disgusting and will NEVER visit. Tueeeh
This should not be taken lightly. Its hard earned tax payers money.
How did u now use ?
Common sha trap
Even if you do will you say it?smm
Liar! Liar!! Liar!!!
