The Lagos State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, according to Premium Times has accused the Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola, of sponsoring the ongoing membership registration of the All Progressives Congress, APC, with state funds.
It also pointed accusing fingers at the chairmen of the 57 APC controlled local council development areas of Lagos, saying they used council funds for the party registration exercise.
“They have spent at least N7 billion paying for the Registration Materials, Staff, Massive Promo Adverts at all levels, Inducing persons to register etc. This amount could have been better utilised to improve the lives of Lagosians,” the PDP said in a statement by its spokesperson, Taofik Gani, on Monday.
The APC has, however, dismissed the claims of the Lagos PDP.
“This people (PDP) are getting paranoid, and it appears they have no respect for money. N7 billion? Well for the record, the registration exercise is sponsored wholly by the party and the entire budget is not even close to N1 billion,” the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Lai Mohammed said.
