Nigeria’s leading opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been thrown into disarray following a memo released by the party’s audit department accusing its leadership of financial impropriety.

In the memo leaked late Wednesday, the department revealed how the Uche Secondus-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party mismanaged billions of naira generated in the last three years.

In his account of the mismanagement, contained in the memo sent to party leaders, the National Auditor, Adamu Mustapha, said his department was denied access to all the party’s financial transactions since 2017.

“The purpose of this alarm is to bring to the notice of this NWC the inability of the Audit Department to perform its functions as enshrined by the constitution and the extant laws, to illustrate as example, the Audit Department was incapacitated by lack of access to the necessary inputs that will enable it to discharge its duties.

“For whatever reasons, there is no access to all financial transactions (cash inflows and outflows) documents of the party like cashbooks, receipts. vouchers, registers cheques and bank statements etc, all of which are necessary input or pre-audit, due process, internal control, reconciliation as well as to draw up our Final Accounts, and all these necessary inputs are not available to the Audit Department.

“In order for the Audit to function there should be constant interaction and information flow between the Audit Department and all the arms of the party, unfortunately this has not been the practice,” he alleged in the memo seen by PREMIUM TIMES.

To check undue monetisation of the election process, the Electoral Act mandates political parties to submit their financial reports to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at specified intervals, a mandate many political parties have violated on different occasions.

Mr Mustapha highlighted the cause of the violation in the leaked memo.

The national auditor was called by the party to address journalists on Thursday to recant the financial issues he raised in the memo.
