PDP Crisis Gets Messier As 6 NWC Members Return Millions Secretly Paid Into Their Accounts

The embattled National Chairman of People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, is in a fresh crisis as six of 19 members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) have rejected various sums of money allegedly paid into the accounts by the national chairman.

The monies range from N36 million to N28.8 million depending on the position of the intended recipients.

It was gathered that while the deputy national chairmen and the national secretary secretly got N36m wired into their accounts, other members of the committee got N28.850m respectively.

It was further gathered that the payment, now regarded as bribe money, came on the heels of news of a N14 billion scandal rocking the party published few days ago by a national daily.

The money to the NWC members was transfered from the party’s account with Globus bank Ltd.

Those who have returned the alleged Ayu’s money at press time, include:

1. Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja : Deputy National Chairman South.
2. Prof. Stella Effah-Attoe. National Woman Leader.

3.. Chief Dan Osi Orbih.

5. Hon Olasoji Adagunobi-Oluwatukesi
