The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has debunked claims that about $75,000 went missing from the Party’s secretariat on Wednesday.
Speaking on the what transpired, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Barr. Felix Morka said that an individual was reported to have lost his $50,000 around the entrance gate of the party secretariat.
According to him, the development had no connection with the ruling party or it’s activities.
“To be clear, the lost money does not belong to the Party. The loss is neither connected with proceeds of sale of forms nor with relocation of the venue for the collection of Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms from the secretariat grounds to the International Conference Centre (ICC), as erroneously reported by the media.
“The Party’s decision to relocate the venue for collection of forms to the ICC was to ease heavy human and vehicular traffic around the Secretariat with teeming aspirants and their supporters who thronged the Secretariat to collect forms”, he stated.
He stressed that all purchase of forms are payable to designated bank accounts of the Party adding that payments are denominated in Naira not US Dollars.
