A Youth Leader of one of the warring factions of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from the South-west has called on the National Working Committee, (NWC) of the Party to make public details of funds realized from sale of nomination forms during last year’s general election.
In a letter to the NWC by Bello Muyideen Kolawole, PDP new generation SouthWest Coordinator, stated that “As a believer in transparency, accountability, and good governance, I strongly believe that it is the responsibility of political parties, such as PDP, to ensure that they are not only ethically conducting funds generated from various activities, but also providing detailed reports on the expenditure to the party members and the public.
“I kindly request that the National Working Committee of PDP provides an accurate and comprehensive breakdown of how the money obtained from the sale of forms to aspirants during the last general elections was spent.
“It is essential that all financial transactions be accounted for in order to maintain the trust and integrity that the PDP has always stood for.
“To ensure a transparent and thorough accountability process, I propose the following details to be included in the report: Total amount of funds generated from the sale of forms during the last general elections.
“Clear breakdown of how the funds were allocated and spent. Itemized expenditure report, specifying the purpose and amount spent on various aspects such as campaign logistics, project financing, staff salaries, transportation, polling station operations, and other related costs.
“Audited financial statements or any relevant financial documents that validate the transparency and integrity of the financial processes and transactions.
“I believe that by providing the requested information, PDP will reaffirm its commitment to its members, supporters, and the general public.
“Transparency, accountability, and good governance are not only principles that strengthen a political party, but also demonstrate its credibility and trustworthiness.
“I kindly request that you provide the aforementioned report within 30 days from the receipt of this letter.
