Press Statement

Uyo Rally: APC Diverted N478m NDDC Fund To Rent Crowd for Buhari – PDP.
…Says heads of ministries, parastatals in Buhari’s Campaign Council Are Conduit Pipes


The PDP Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) accuses the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of secretly drawing over N478 million from the coffers of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to rent a crowd and offset bills in President Muhammadu Buhari’s expensive re-election campaign rally going on in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State

The PPCO also accused President Buhari of directly appointing serving ministers and heads of government agencies as members of his campaign council so as to continue to use them as conduit pipes for the diversion of public funds to finance his 2019 campaign.

Our party is also aware of the protests by some eminent Nigerians, including foremost businessmen, who were named as members of the APC Campaign Council without their consent, in a desperate bid to showcase an impression that they are supporting Mr. President’s re-election bid.

The N478 million NDDC fund which was originally budgeted for development projects in the Niger Delta was diverted to renting and transportation of crowd from other parts of the country to the rally to create an impression of popularity for President Buhari in the region.

Further information at our party’s disposal, shows that the said N478 million is part of the wholesome sum of N1.2 billion allegedly siphoned in tranches from the NDDC treasury by the cabal at the Buhari Presidency and APC leaders, who have been stealing money from various government agencies to finance President Buhari’s campaign.

Our party also has it on good authority that this ignoble scheme of siphoning NDDC development fund to finance his campaign was the main reason President Buhari foisted an unpopular leadership at the management of the NDDC despite the protests by critical stakeholders in all the states of the Niger Delta. 

Furthermore, the PPCO is aware of the dissention by some APC leaders over President Buhari’s unilateral listing of individuals into his campaign council as announced by his media aide, without recourse to the selection process of the APC leadership.

This further shows the dictatorial tendencies of the Buhari Presidency and his arrogant disdain for constituted authority.

Moreover, the PPCO invites Nigerians to note that unlike the PDP Presidential campaign council, which has credible Nigerians as members, most of Buhari’s zonal coordinators are persons facing corruption cases.

This casts a very long shadow on President Buhari’s integrity and further confirms that his fight against corruption is a sham. 

Finally, the PPCO reminds President Buhari that Nigerians are still awaiting his explanation on the seething revelation of corrupt acquisition of Etisalat Nigeria and Keystone Bank PLC by his family members under the cover of his presidency; an issue that Nigerians are not willing to let go until he clears his name.

The truth is that there is no way buhari can gather a crowd in Uyo without hiring crowds especially from outside the state.

I have just been informed that the rally in Uyo is actually a South South final rally. If the crowd am seeing there is for 6 states of Edo, Akwa ibom, Cross Rivers, Rivers, Delta, then am disappointed

The crowd that filled akwa ibom thousand capacity stadium would all have been merged on ground by PDP to bloat their "popularity".


I thought APC couldn't fill a room in their supposed stronghold

PDP had four major campaign in a week without anyone throwing allegations of public funds misappropriation .

At least, APC allowed the PDP have a fieldday, but they bound up to draw up allegations straight from their harse at the sight of APC mega rallies. cheesy

I reckon the public can now see who is really scared of defeat from these numerous allegations.

I bet PDP were using donations from the public to fund those rallies cheesy Awon olobe.

If u think people came only because of Buhari� then you need a rethink

BTW, there is no political gathering as at today without rented people.
Even the PDP gathering has some rented people too.

APC and PDP are one and the same.
