N12BN FRAUD: WORKERS DEMAND SACK, PROBE OF PDP NWC
Fresh crisis
is brewing in the national secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party
following demand by the workers for the sack of the National Working Committee
over alleged N12 billion financial impropriety and maladministration.
Addressing a press conference at the party secretariat Abuja, the leaders of
the PDP Staff Welfare Committee led by Ngozi Nzeh and Dan Ochu-Baiye, Chairman
and Secretary, respectively, claimed that the NWC members squandered over N12
billion.
They equally alleged that it high-level of corruption, greed and sabotage that led to the woeful performance of the party during the last general elections.
According to the workers, the party under the current leadership of Prince Uche Secondus, Acting National Chairman, and Professor Wale Oladipo, as National Secretary, has been systematically and deliberately dismembered, adding that both were inadvertently putting the nail on the coffin in preparation for its final burial.
“Never in the glorious history of our great party has its fortunes been so hopelessly mismanaged by an inept and dishonest group whose sworn mission is to permanently destroy and liquidate the lofty organization that midwifed the current democratic dispensation.
“The current National Working Committee, NWC, is only hanging on because of the obscene and bizarre bazaar which they have subjected the purse of the party to.
“Millions of PDP members are in great pains with the current reality of how the Party which in the recent past paraded the most decent and nationalistic Nigerians is now being run aground by a patently incompetent and self-centered sets of NWC members.
“We wonder if this is the same PDP that was once led by the great Dr. Alex Ekwueme, and Chief Solomon Lar. Is it the same PDP that was led by Chief Barnabas Gemade? Is it the same party that was once led by Audu Ogbeh and Ahmadu Ali? Is the party still as formidable as when it was led by Prince Vincent Eze Ogbulafor and the erudite Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo? Is it the same party that was victoriously managed by Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed?”
“It is curious to observe that a party which once prided itself as the biggest party in Africa could be so liquidated by such executive recklessness of its NWC members so much so that N12,000,000,000 (Twelve Billion Naira) was squandered in 9 months.
“Party members will need to know why delegates were compelled to pay the sum of N10,000 (Ten thousand Naira) each into a private account of a company called Morufi Nig. Ltd. We are aware that over N1, 000,000,000 (One Billion Naira) was realized from this fraudulent exercise.
“Why did the NWC compel party members to pay sums into a company account rather than the usual party account in the same Zenith Bank?
They alleged that “because of these ceaseless acts of recklessness and palpable fear for their fate, they have refused to summon a meeting of the National Executive Committee, NEC, since the party lost in the last elections.”
