Metuh and Dokpesi are ‘on their own’ - PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party has distanced itself from any of its members who received money from the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd).

The opposition party also urged its member who benefited from the diverted arms funds from the embattled former NSA, to return it immediately.

The Deputy National Publicity secretary of the party, Ibrahim Jalo, said the party never took money from the government to run its operations.

“When people say that this party benefited from money meant for arms, I laugh. This is because we didn’t as a party get a dime from the former NSA.

“The party therefore has nothing to do with anyone who has collected money from the former NSA. Anyone, who has collected money from him, should return it. They are on their own.

“They will face trial without the party coming to their rescue. PDP is a clean party that has not taken money meant for the procurement of arms and ammunition or from the Federal Government.

“All those who collected money from Dasuki used their personal companies to do so. We didn’t send them,” Jalo said.
