Chief Olisa Metuh, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP stated this yesterday. The new secretariat is located at the Central Business District, Abuja and it was gathered that the project was billed to cost N11.5bn when it was
awarded some years ago.
Metuh said, “During our sales of forms, we had planned to use substantial part of the money to complete the secretariat. We also had a fund-raising dinner where we were told that about N21bn was raised and that some of it would be given to us for the completion of the secretariat but we didn’t see the money.
The one (money) we kept for the completion of the secretariat, after we lost the presidential election. We were directed to divert the funds to the campaign organization (of our governorship candidates). That really depleted the funds of the party and almost brought it to ground zero.
As we speak, we don’t have funds for the completion of the new secretariat. The acting chairman of the NWC would take the issue to the national caucus to know how we can engage the services of developers on some arrangements.”….. or better still, we will wait till we take back power in 2019…..
