Governor Abdullahi Sule has submitted the All Progressives Congress (APC) Media and Publicity Sub-Committee’s report on its 2022 Special Convention Presidential Primary.
He submitted the report to the party’s national chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, at its national secretariat on Friday in Abuja.
The governor also returned N20 million unspent money to the party’s coffers in the presence of the committee’s secretary, Sen. Bello Mandiya, and other members.
Presenting an executive summary of the report, Sule said the committee was given N140 million for its activities, but only expended N120 million.
“Initially, we were given N30 million a day after our inauguration. Then, we got another N60 million. In all, the party gave us N140 million.
“I am here with a draft of N20 million to present to the chairman of our party as the balance remaining from what we were given, because we did not spend everything,” Sule said.
In his remarks, Adamu said the level of integrity and commitment exhibited by the committee was appreciated.
According to him, the committee did a good job and was transparent and accountable to the extent of declaring some surplus, which was a good example.
“The challenges were high, but you were able to deploy publicity to defuse tension, and we were able to have a good convention.”
“Not a single incident was reported and it was all because of the role your committee played by ensuring that everybody was carried along,” Adamu said.
