A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Femi
Fani-Kayode, has reacted to the misappropriation of funds scandal rocking the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Fani-Kayode accused PDP’s officials and leadership of
sharing money among themselves like ‘Father Christmas’.
The former Aviation Minister warned PDP members who have
benefited from the funds to return whatever they got.
In a tweet, Fani-Kayode warned that a criminal investigation
has begun over funds’ misappropriation.
He wrote: “Never have we seen party officials sharing money
amongst one another like Father Christmas as the leadership of the PDP has just
done.
“I advise those on their NWC that have not done so already
to return the money they collected because a criminal investigation has already
begun.”
Recall that in separate letters to the PDP, members of the
Party’s National Working Committee, NWC, under the leadership of Iyorchia Ayu,
alleged that monies were paid into their account without their knowledge.
They also claimed they thought the monies were for their
“house rent” until a newspaper publication exposed them.
The NWC members who returned the money are the National Vice
Chairman (South-West) Olasoji Adagunodo, the Deputy National Chairman (South)
Taofeek Arapaja; National Vice Chairman (South), Chief Dan Orbih and National
Women Leader, Prof. Stella Affah-Attoe.
While Adagunodo, Orbih, and Effah-Attoe got N28.8 million
each, Arapaja was paid N36 million.
PDP had fixed its presidential nomination form and
expression of interest forms N40 million, governorship N21 million, Senate N3.5
million, House of Representatives N2.5 million, and State House of Assembly
N600,000.
