Recent media reports of alleged financial recklessness by the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, are misleading and untrue, the National auditor of the party, Adamu Mustapha, has said. Reacting to a news that went viral on social media of alleged financial misappropriation of party funds running into several billions, Mustapha disclosed to newsmen on Thursday, at the party’s national secretariat, Abuja, that the report is fake.
His words: “My attention has been brought to misleading reports in a section of the media on the memo I presented to the NWC for deliberation. “To say the least, I am shocked that the routine memo can be so mischievously misrepresented in the media ostensibly to achieve a sinister purpose against our party. “For the avoidance of doubt, all the issues raised in the memo were exhaustively deliberated in the NWC meeting. The deliberation was conclusive because, on all the items raised, approvals were sought and granted by both the NWC and the National Executive Committee, NEC, of our great party.
“l want to state clearly that I did not make any allegations of any form of financial impropriety against the national chairman neither did I allege any form of a misdemeanour on any member of the NWC. “The NWC is not divided as we are working in the collective interest of our party. “I urge the media to always crosscheck all the facts in a matter before going to press to avoid misleading the reading public.”
