The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has disclosed that the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) under his leadership inherited a debt burden of N8.9 billion.
Ganduje made this revelation in Abuja during the ongoing National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the APC.
According to him, the debt accumulated due to expenses from pre-election legal battles, election cases, and appeals related to legislative, governorship, and presidential elections.
> “The current NWC inherited debts and legal liabilities to the total tune of N8,987,874,663, arising from various legal engagements,” he stated.
He further noted that Prof. Abdul Kareem Kana (SAN), the party’s National Legal Adviser, has been making efforts to reduce the financial burden.
> “We still passionately appeal to the National Executive Committee to intervene accordingly,” Ganduje pleaded.
The meeting was attended by key APC stakeholders, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, state governors, NWC members, and other party chieftains.
