Former special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on prosecution, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla, has called on states in the Niger Delta to give an account of the 13 percent derivation funds they have been receiving from the Federal Government.

Obono-Obla urged them to emulate Governor Nyesome Wike of Rivers State who gave a comprehensive report of what his government has done with the fund.

He alleged that the Niger Delta states had kept the releases from the 13% derivation a closely guarded secret over the years.

Over the weekend, Governor Wike had reeled out the feats of his government and also accounted for the 13 percent derivation funds the state government has received so far from the federal government.
