The national secretariat of the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja has
been thrown into darkness following the
party’s failure to offset the N1.7 million debt
owed Abuja Electricity Distribution Company.
According to Vanguard newspaper, the
electricity company decided to wield the big
stick, cutting off electricity supply to the
secretariat and worsening its already decrepit
state. The report said the party has been starved of
cash due to the current economic crisis but
may have generated over N100 million this
year from the sale of Nomination and
Expression of Interest forms for Edo and Ondo
States governorship primaries.
An electricity receipt pasted on the gate of
the APC secretariat which was seen by
Vanguard showed that the party had only
recently paid N500, 000 of the debt.
Party officials said President Buhari has
consistently refused to fund the party, just as
state governors had refused to save the party
from the embarrassing situation.
Meanwhile, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has
lashed out at former President Goodluck
Jonathan over the handling of insurgency
during his tenure.
Mr Osinbajo said Mr Jonathan was never
committed to ending the Boko Haram
insurgency, thus the spread of the terrorist
and kidnapping of several persons in the
North-East.
