Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has queried security agencies for not arresting the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC) after they have been accused of sharing N1 billion.
Governor of Rivers, Nyesom Wike has recently accused Ayu of collecting N1 billion in Lagos, being proceeds made in the sales of party forms.
To lend credence to to Wike’s assertion, six members of the NWC returned about N177 million they claimed was paid to their account without their knowledge for ‘house rent.’
Reacting to this development on Sunday, Fani-Kayode wondered why while Ayu and others had not been arrested by the security operatives.
“Why have the security agencies not rounded up the PDP National Chairman and all the other members of their NWC and questioned them about the misappropriation and diversion of the one billion naira that Wike told us about?
“Are the leaders of the opposition above the law?” He asked.
On Saturday, Fani-Kayode said “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.”
