The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party may have worsened with some members of the National Working Committee writing the national chairman of the party, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, and informing him of their decision to return the housing allowance paid into their accounts from the party’s coffers.
The development came a few days after a media report claimed that members of the PDP NWC were miffed over alleged depletion of the N10bn the party made from the sale of nomination forms.
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, had also accused Ayu of collecting the sum of N1bn from an unnamed presidential candidate in Lagos.
The report had claimed that Ayu in a bid to pacify the NWC members paid the sum of N28m to each of the members.
However, some NWC members had started remitting various amounts to the party.
