Rivers state Governor, Rotimi Amaechi has explained why Nigerian governors demanded for money from the excess crude account.

Speaking during the All Progressives Congress, APC rally in Uyo, Amaechi said, ''I was ashamed to read on the pages of newspapers, where the PDP said things had improved from 2011 till now. Oil price used to be between $120 and $145 before now. Our savings used to be between $45 and $46bn. We had over $10bn to $20bn in excess crude.

''The reason why the governors asked that excess crude be shared was that after each meeting we had, if the money was $10bn, before we come back for another meeting, it would be $8bn. Who has taken the $2bn? We did not know.

''When we discovered that our money was being taken away with reckless abandon without accounting, it was then we asked, ‘Oga, please share this money. You are not a bank. And if it were a bank, it would add more to the money.
