 The People's Democratic Party PDP in Emo state said the seven members of the state working committee who resigned did so because they were afraid of an indictment. The former executive members of the chapter defeated or defected rather to the All Progressive Congress APC on Sunday. Reacting financial secretary Bede Ejimadu said a report implicated them for alleged mismanagement of the 1.4 billion era earmarked for the 2023 presidential campaign. He said the campaign fund had remained unaccounted for adding that his office did not receive the money. Ejimadu said their exit was not a concern as they had the right to do so, saying the PDP would find capable hands to replace them. The other organs of the party are intact and functioning so there is no cause for alarm. In Emo state here, I was the deputy director of finance in the presidential campaign of His Excellency Alhaji Atikua Bubaka. Over 1.4 billion era sent to Emo for the management of that election till date remains unaccounted for. And these are the issues the party was gearing up to investigate. Unfortunately today those who played major role in the management or mismanagement of these funds have left the party but they cannot run. They cannot run. We assure you of that.
