The national leadership of People Democratic Party
(PDP) declared that it is bankrupt and, therefore, it
cannot complete its multi-billion naira new
Secretariat which was to be located at the Central
Business District of Abuja.
The Publicity Secretary of the Party, Olisa Metuh,
disclosed this information while answering
questions from journalists in Abuja. He explained
that the completion of the Secretariat is contingent
on securing an agreement with a developer.
It was gathered that the building project was
estimated to cost N11.5 billion when it was
awarded some years ago. In recent months, the
pace of work on the 12 story building slowed due
to a lack of funding.
Mr. Metuh also debunked the rumor making the
rounds that members of the National Working
Committee (NWC) of the Party received a huge sum
of money from funds allocated for the Party’s
Presidential campaign earlier this year.
According to him, “during our sale of forms, we had
planned to use a substantial part of the money to
complete the secretariat. We organized a
fundraising dinner during which about N21 billion
was raised. We were informed that a portion of the
funds would be given to us for the completion of
the Secretariat, but we didn’t receive the money.”
The PDP Public Secretary also told our
correspondent that the money the national
leadership of the Party had kept aside to use for the
Secretariat from the amount generated from the sale
of forms was spent.
He explained that the NWC was asked to divert the
amount to the campaigns of PDP governorship
candidates during the last election cycle.
He noted that the directive came after the Party had
lost the Presidential election to the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
“After we [PDP] lost the Presidential election, we
were directed to divert the funds set aside for the
completion of the Secretariat to the campaign
organization for our gubernatorial candidates,” Mr.
Metuh explained.
As a result of this fund diversion, there were no
monies left for the completion of the Secretariat.
Mr. Metuh stated that the acting Chairman of the
NWC intended to broach the issue during the
Party’s national caucus in order to engage the
services of a developer.
A visit to the edifice shows that the work has
stopped and the building is now a ghost of itself.
Neither the contractor nor the workers were present
at the building site.http://saharareporters.com/2015/12/11/pdp-bankrupt-we-don't-have-money-complete-our-secretariat-metuh
