APC Raises the Alarm Over Alleged Plans By FG to Disburse N32 Billion to 16 PDP States

Date: 2013-12-10

The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday raised the alarm over alleged plans by the federal government to disburse a total sum of N32billion to 16 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) states to woo the electorate ahead of the 2015 general election in the country.

Already, the party said it was in possession of a memo raised to pursue the alleged project for the affected PDP states.

The party, however, promised that the plan would fail at the end of the day. The interim National Publicity Secretary of APC, Alhaji Lai Muhammed, who disclosed this in Ilorin, the Kwara State yesterday during a media parliament organised by the state's council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), said: "I want to tell you that I have stumbled on a document that exposed the federal government's decision to assist the 16 PDP-controlled states with N2 billion each."

He said the non-inclusion of any APC state in the disbursement of the fund clearly portrayed President Goodluck Jonathan as a sectional leader. Mohammed added that "the money belongs to all Nigerians and the APC would not allow the issue to be swept under the carpet."

On the defection of members of the New PDP to the APC, Mohammed said it was borne out "genuine interest of well meaning politicians in the two parties to save the nation from drifting."

He said if the party did not take such decisive step and going by the PDP's impunity "there may be no Nigeria again."

According to him, "the country needs some people to rescue it from the misrule of the PDP and this is the major reason why APC and New PDP came together to form one united party.

"A lot of sacrifices went into this and we are prepared to make more sacrifices for the sake of our country."

He described alleged plan by the PDP to declare the seats of the G-5 governors that defected to APC vacant as a huge joke.

Muhammed recalled that a number of governors had in the past defected from other parties to PDP and their seats were not declared vacant.

He said his party would not condone any act of impunity capable of affecting the smooth growth of the nation's democracy.
