He wrote: “Never have we seen party officials sharing money amongst one another like Father Christmas as the leadership of the PDP has just done.

“I advise those on their NWC that have not done so already to return the money they collected because a criminal investigation has already begun.”

Recall that in separate letters to the PDP, members of the Party’s National Working Committee, NWC, under the leadership of Iyorchia Ayu, alleged that monies were paid into their account without their knowledge.

They also claimed they thought the monies were for their “house rent” until a newspaper publication exposed them.

While Adagunodo, Orbih, and Effah-Attoe got N28.8 million each, Arapaja was paid N36 million.
