Did PDP Pay N95m For Campaign Venue In Rivers? The claim is Misleading. 

Published

A viral tweet from a former senator who represented Kaduna Central at the 8th Senate, ShehuSani, says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State paid N95 million for a campaign venue.

This claim is Misleading and here are the reasons: 

 

Findings showed that although the said amount was paid by the PDP in Rivers state, it covered 19 venues, which the party intends to use for its campaign in the state, and not for one venue as the former senator claimed.

 

The payment was in compliance with the precautionary requirement of N5 million per venue stipulated by Executive Order 21 signed by Governor NyesomWike in 2022. As such the N95m is a lump sum payment for 19 different venues at N5m per venue.

 

 Conclusion 

The claim by the senator is misleading, as the N95m is a lump sum paid for 19 different campaign venues and not a single venue.
