The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has again spoken on the state of finance of the party.
“Just like the economy, the party too is suffering from the stresses and strains of funding just like every institution in our polity,” he told Vanguard.
“That also goes to tell you that we are not a party that withdraws money from security votes or from any government agency.
“I saw reports that we have written to the president to rescue the party. That is not part of his national duties and he has no intention because there are no funds from which he can draw from.
“The party has to come up with fresh and innovative ways as to how to raise resources for its operations and that, we have done. The plan is ready and will go into operation in the next one month or two.
On the controversy surrounding the 2016 budget, he said the issue was totally “overplayed.”
“The budget was never missing, the main document was totally intact and when the President presented the budget given the nature of the load of work they have to do and in the circumstances at which they were done, they were likely to be a few corrections to be made in this process and all Mr President effected were the necessary corrections.”
