The embattled National Chairman of People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, is in a fresh crisis as six of the 19 members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) have rejected various sums of money allegedly paid into the accounts by the National Chairman.
The monies range from N36 million to N28.8 million depending on the position of the intended recipients.
Raye24reporters gathered that while the Deputy National Chairmen and the National Secretary secretly got N36m wired into their accounts, other members of the committee got N28.850m respectively.
It was further gathered that the payment, now regarded as bribe money, came on the heels of news of a N14 billion scandal rocking the party published few days ago by a national daily.
