Tell Nigerians How Much You Paid Chatham House For Poll Shift, APC Challenges PDP, FG

The All Progress Congress Presidential Campaign Organization has challenged the Peoples Democratic Party and the Federal Government to disclose how much was paid to Chatham House to give the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, the platform to call for the postponement of the general election earlier fixed for February 14 and 28.

Reacting to allegations by the PDP that the party spent ₦5 billion to enable its presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari speak at Chatham House, the APCPCO said the government should tell the whole world how much it paid to Chatam House before it granted Dasuki audience.

While speaking at the Chatam House, the NSA had said the elections were not feasible due to security concerns and the Service Chiefs later informed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that they cannot guarantee security during the elections, leading to a six-week postponement of the exercise.

However, after Buhari’s address at the Chatam House, the PDP said the opposition party spent ₦5 billion to enable the former head of state deliver his address at the prestigious British institute.

In a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the organization lamented that Jonathan’s administration has taken propaganda to a ridiculous level of childishness, triviality and banality.

Shehu said any suggestion by the PDP that the APC bribed Chatham House to get its presidential candidate speak at the institute was a reflection of the general opinion that the ruling party has not only run out of ideas and popular goodwill.
