Answering questions from journalists after a meeting of the Board of Trustees (BoT) at the party’s headquarters in Abuja, Ayu said the issue of N1bn started when he came into office and needed money to hit the ground running.

He said the party wanted to take a loan but the idea was later shelved, adding that he did not collect any money as the national chairman of the party.

 

Ayu said the N100m money collected from a PDP governor was being judiciously used for the renovation of the Peoples Democratic Institute (PDI), which will be commissioned in days.

He said the money was not yet exhausted and a letter had been dispatched to the said governor to come and see what it had been used for.
