PDP Refutes Bribery Allegations Over Returned Housing Allowance

The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to misrepresenting reports in a section of the media alluding strange and unfounded motives to the Housing Allowance duly approved and paid to NWC members and staff of the Party

The NWC has noted that this misleading report stemmed from an unfounded publication by a particular media outlet which suggested that the Housing Allowance, an entitlement duly approved and paid to national officials and staff of the Party amounted to bribery.

For the avoidance of doubt, the PDP states in an unequivocal term that no funds were paid into the account of any member of the NWC as bribe for any purpose whatsoever for that matter.

To set the record straight, the Housing Allowance being referred to went through the Due Process of the Party in line with the Conditions of Service and Entitlement of the Staff and Principal Officers of the Party.

If any individual, for any reason decides to return money duly approved and paid, such does not in any way suggest that the money was paid as bribe or indicate that it was illegitimate or unlawfully paid.

A bribe is defined as “money or any other valuable consideration given or promised with a view to corrupting the behavior of a person especially in that person’s performance as a public official…”. This is not the case in the payment of Housing Allowance duly approved for officials and staff of the Party.

The PDP therefore urges all members, teeming supporters and the general public to disregard the report and misleading insinuation which are clearly designed to malign the PDP, cause disaffection and distract our Party from our mission to Rescue, Rebuild and Redirect our nation from the misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Na lies and propaganda be this to blackmail the indefatigable Pdp National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu. Wike the clueless blackmailer has failed completely in this game of blackmailing.

This is just wike's men in the nwc trying to mess up ayu. Did they just receive the money today. One even said his bank alerted him of an inflow into his account as if he does not receive alerts personally. Anyway both pdp and apc are bedridden with corruption and that is why we are Obidient

Where is EFCC in all of this?
I had thought since Wike's accusation of Ayu, they will swing into action to investigate the matter!

There are matters that should not be swept under the carpet especially when it has to do with public money.

Nigeria has bled enough in the hands of corrupt politicians!

Vote for Peter Obi.

Black mail and propaganda from wicked wike and evil Apc

It is unfortunate that PDP has not repented from their old slogan "Share the money". Look @out how they were dolling out money in millions as housing allowance. Even at this they want Nigerians to give them another chance . We say no to them and APC they are all crooks.

I will be totally disappointed if EFCC did not step in and do thorough investigation on this.

#28,800,000 each for housing allowance?
If they get presidential power, it will increase to #50m each. They are just sharing the money while majority are suffering.
If you like, collect #2k or #5k and vote for them.
