At the heels of President Muhamamdu Buhari’s return, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, is set to stage a nationwide protest, over the inability of the party to pay salaries.
Recall, that last year Buhari had declined to use part of the funds accrued to the Federal Government to fund the APC, saying the ruling party should be funding itself through members’ contribution.
It was gathered on Monday evening, during a visit to the party’s National Secretariat, located at Blantyre Street, Wuse II, Abuja, that some of the senior staff were already mobilising other junior staff for a protest against the party’s national leadership.
The staff attributed the funding problems facing the party, to the displeasure by the APC Governors, against the current NWC-led by Chief John Oyegun.
“Our conditions are worsening everyday as staff of the ruling party. We are working in an environment that is not conducive for productivity. We hardly use electricity or generator light in the party Secretariat for six hours per day.
“If the Chieftains of the party are not happy with the NWC members, they should say so and change them, so that they can fund the party properly. There is no how anybody would think that the membership registration money can run a party, not to talk of the APC, effectively.
“If this debts and poor condition of service are not addressed soonest, we the staff would be forced to down tools.”
However, a source told Journalists yesterday, that the Governors were angry that the NWC members had not been prudent enough in managing the monies that had come into the party.”
The APC leadership had complained of challenges, as a result of the poor funding it is getting from stakeholders.
In a statement issued after a recent consultative meeting between the Governors and the APC leadership, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, said part of the key issues deliberated upon, was how to improve on the finances of the party.
He added, that as part of a new funding mechanism, the party has decided to embark on a continuous membership registration exercise across the country.
