Angry workers of the Peoples Democratic Party have accused the members of
the National Working Committee of the party of squandering N12bn in nine
months.
Out of the total sum, the workers said N11bn was realised from the sale of
nomination forms while N1bn was got from the sale of delegates forms.
They alleged that the money was squandered shortly after the sale of the forms
commenced on October 27, 2014 till date.
The workers said this in their response to the letter sent to them by the party’s
National Secretary, Prof. Wale Oladipo, on Wednesday.
Oladipo, in the letter, had informed the workers about the decision of the NWC
to reduce the party’s workforce by 50 per cent and to also cut the salaries of
those to be retained by the same percentage.
The national secretary of the party said the decision, among others, would take
effect from August.
He said, “Establishment staff who would remain are required to obtain individual
letters of revalidation from their state chapters within one month of this circular
to their suitability for service at the national secretariat.”
But the workers, after a meeting in Abuja on Thursday, sent a reply to Oladipo.
Their reply, which was directed to Oladipo, was dated July 30, 2015 and titled,
“Re: Organisation and Restructuring of staff at the national secretariat of the
Peoples Democratic Party.”
They sent copies of the letter, which was exclusively obtained by our
corespondent, to former President Goodluck Jonathan and the acting Chairman,
Board of Trustees of the party, Alhaji Haliru Bello.
Also, copies were sent to the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, PDP
caucuses in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, Chairman, PDP
Governors’ Forum, Dr. Segun Mimiko and all the PDP governors.
Besides querying how the N11bn was spent, the workers also said they were
aware that the party realised another N1bn in sales of delegates forms recently.
With this, the angry workers wondered how the party that was in power could
be in a financial mess.
Their letter to Oladipo read in part, “While we appreciate the fact that the party
is no longer in power, we are equally aware that the party realised over eleven
billion naira (N11,000,000,000) in income from the sale of nomination and
expression of interest forms in the last quarter of 2014.
“We are equally aware that the NWC collected over a billion naira from the sale
of delegate forms via a company account called Morufi Nig. Ltd, Zenith Bank
Account N0:1014041654.
“With this healthy bank balance, we find it strange that after just two months of
handing over power, the NWC is proposing a 50% reduction in staff
emoluments.”
They said that they were aware that the NWC members were in the habit of
paying themselves huge sums of money after the party lost power during the
2015 general elections.
The letter read further, “We have also observed from publications in the media
that the NWC shared outrageous largesse among themselves immediately after
the party’s loss in the last general elections.
“We are appalled by the whimsical and derisory nature of the circular which
unfortunately negates all known administrative procedures. We wish to recall
that the national secretary, who is statutorily in charge of the administration of
the secretariat, has never called for a staff meeting or held any interactive
session with the staff since his privileged appointment.
“We wish to draw the national secretary’s attention to the fact that there are
administrative procedures for the disengagement of staff whose appointments
have been duly confirmed.”
The workers said they welcomed the decision of the NWC members to reduce
their personal staff and also reduce their emoluments.
But they said they rejected “the directives for staff members to get revalidation
letters from the state chapters as this act will amount to accepting our unlawful
disengagement from service.
“We reject in totality the proposal to reduce staff emolument by 50%. This is
because unlike the members of the NWC, the staff are solely dependent on their
salaries and allowances.”
They said they still have unwavering belief in the possibility of the party
bouncing back, and, therefore, urged the NWC to have the same faith.
The workers reminded the NWC members that the establishment staff of the
PDP national secretariat were engaged on the basis of a well-articulated
establishment manual that expressly stated the conditions of service therein.
However, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Olisa Metuh, told our
correspondent that the party took the decisions because it realised that majority
of the workers had lost touch with their state chapters of the party.


Punch report.

Useless party with useless supporters.

If a national party like PDP can behave in such a manner within themselves, no wonder nothing tangible works in Nigeria.

I guess nobody will have any faintiest idea how the funds are mis-managed. So sad indeed.

Na true you talk.

That must be why the WORSTEST elements of the party moved into APC and changed their label quietly
In short, APC is the most useless party with the most useless supporters.

Now this is the drama nigerians want leaving Buhari incompentency and inefficency and focusing in baseless issues i pity for the nigeria people because no meaningful development would be carried out by buhari because he's started poorly.

Enough of all these bullshit. APC should get to work. They are no more the opposition party.
