Chaos set in at the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday that the sum of $75,000 was reportedly missing amid the crowded struggle at the main entrance to the party premises.
It was gathered that the sum of $75,000 had gone missing amid the crowded struggle at the main entrance to the party premises.
Party sources, however, disclosed that the missing money was in no way connected to the monies from sale of nomination and expression of interest forms as aspirants are expected to make deposits in the designated account numbers before picking up their forms at Buhari House.
“It’s actually $75,000. You know there was a struggle at the gate when aspirants and supporters were trying to get in.
“When the parcel of money dropped, it went missing in a flash. By the time security operatives were alerted the thief had vanished with the envelope,” the party source said.
Wednesday’s sale of forms had made it clear that the party premises may not accommodate the nearly two-week exercise.
On the outside of Buhari House were hundreds of supporters lined up to cheer their respective aspirants as they made their way into the premises.
At the time of filing this report, officials of the party officials were heard deliberating to move the exercise to International Conference Centre, Abuja.
