In spite of the billions of Naira generated from the sale of
expression of interest and nomination forms for both party offices and various
elective positions for the 2023 elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC)
appears to be finding it hard to meet her financial obligations.
The ruling party made over N3 billion from members who
purchased the party’s expression of interest and nomination forms to contest
for the party’s tickets ahead of the 2023 general election.
However, the party in the last two months, has failed to
honour the payment of staff salaries as at when due, an indication that it
might be experiencing cash crunch.
It was gathered that the June salary was paid in the middle
of July, while the members of staff only received their July salary last Friday
as opposed to the payment on the 25th of every month.
It was learnt that the party was also indebted to members
engaged to conduct screening and party primaries that produced party candidates
for the 2023 general election.
A party source, who craved anonymity, disclosed that the
leadership of the party, rather than pay the affected staff their allowances,
slashed the yet-to-be-paid allowances by 40 percent.
The source said: “The irony of it is that when the party
engaged members on sensitive assignments like the screening and conduct of
primaries and the assignment was carried out, using our money, one would not
expect the party to honour us with non-payment of what is due to us.
“To worsen the matter, we learnt that the yet-to-be-paid
allowances have been slashed by 40 percent.”
