The All Progressives Congress, APC, National Vice Chairman,
North-west, Dr. Salihu Lukman, Friday, alleged that the National Chairman of
the party, Senator Abdulahi Adamu and the National Secretary, Senator Iyiola
Omisore of squandered N30 billion realised during the sale of forms for the
2023 elections.
Lukman in a statement titled; ‘Rebuilding the APC to Reform
Nigerian Politics: Task Before President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, alleged
that both Adamu and Omisore have embarked on spending extravaganza based on
their discretionary decisions without any form of budget as required by the APC
constitution
He said with the election of principal officers in the
National Assembly completed, President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, being the leader of
the party, should prioritise rebuilding the APC.
Lukman said that as it is now, the management of the party
was limited to the discretion of Adamu, adding that when it is convenient, he
involves members of the National Working Committee, NWC.
He said the reality was that the APC as constituted today
was only a shadow of itself with a National Chairman that is highly
unaccountable running the affairs of the party more as a garrison commander.
“He relates with his colleagues in the NWC just like his
appointees. In their name he meets other leaders of the party and seeks to
manipulate party decisions to suit personal vested interests that are only
known to him.
“Beyond all these is also a clear case of reckless financial
management of the party. With more than N30 billion realised during the sale of
forms for the 2023 elections, Sen. Adamu and Sen. Omisore have embarked on
spending extravaganza based on their discretionary decisions without any form
of budget as required by the APC constitution,” he alleged.
Lukman stressed that with the NEC not meeting as required,
they give no financial report to anyone, not even to the NWC.
