 FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND NATIONAL ORIENTATION  PRESS STATEMENT  BINANCE FALSE CLAIM ON BRIBERY DIVERSIONARY  The Federal Government of Nigeria is aware of attempts by Binance to launder its impaired image as an organisation that does not play by the rules and laws guiding business conduct in sovereign nations. In a blog post that has now been published by many international media organisations, in an apparent well-coordinated public relations effort, Binance Chief Executive Officer Richard Teng made false allegations of bribery against unidentified Nigerian government officials who he claimed demanded $150m in cryptocurrency payments to resolve the ongoing criminal investigation against the company.  This claim by Binance CEO lacks any iota of substance. It is nothing but a diversionary tactic and an attempted act of blackmail by a company desperate to obfuscate the grievous criminal charges it is facing in Nigeria.

 FG to go after economic saboteurs next year —Senate Leader


Leader of the Senate, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele has said that the Federal Government would  from next year, go after economic saboteurs, who have made lives difficult and unbearable for Nigerians.


Bamidele also insisted that the National Assembly would pass the 2024 appropriations bill on December 30, to sustain the January-December budget cycle.


He made this disclosure at a session with journalists in Iyin Ekiti, saying all federal lawmakers would have to cut short their holidays to ensure speedy passage of the 2024 appropriations bill.


At the session, Bamidele expressed concerns about the activities of economic saboteurs, who were doing everything to keep exchange rates high against the Naira or trying to make the Naira unavailable to the people who kept their money in banks.


He, therefore, revealed that the Federal Government “will, from next year, go after economic saboteurs, who are making life difficult and unbearable for Nigerians. The Federal Government will charge, prosecute and punish them for their acts of economic sabotage.


“All these will take place next year. In the long run, those who mopped up the Naira and Dollars from the markets will face the consequences of their actions. Those who mopped up the Dollars to keep commodity prices high will definitely not escape justice.


“Those who are speculating are also on the watch list of the federal government. At some points, the federal government will have to go after them,” the senate leader revealed the plan of the federal government.


Beyond all these activities of economic saboteurs, Bamidele assured Nigerians that Nigeria would witness a true era of Renewed Hope that would herald development, progress and prosperity, citing diverse plans the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had put in place to transform the national economy.


Meanwhile, the Senate has postponed  its plenary sitting from Friday to Saturday to enable it pass the 2024 Appropriation  Bill that  was forwarded to it  by President Bola Tinubu.


The Senate had last week adjourned  plenary to Friday this week for members to celebrate the Christmas with their families  and friends.


A statement by the Clerk of  Senate, Chinedu Akubueze, yesterday, said: “This is to inform Senators that the plenary sitting of the Senate, which was scheduled to be held on Friday, has been postponed to Saturday. Any inconvenience that this shift may cause to Senators is regretted.”
