The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Committee (APCPCC) was at the weekend engulfed in a credibility crisis after allegations of the deduction of N300,000 couched as ‘handling charges’ from the N2 million disbursed to each of the party’s House of Representatives candidates in the forthcoming General Election.

The funds were reportedly provided by the PCC at the behest of the presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Besides the House of Representatives candidates, the party’s candidates for the Senate were also mobilized with N5 million each courtesy of the PCC whose primary goal is to actualize the presidential aspiration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

A number of the candidates including some party sources were simply furious over the deduction.

“Besides the deduction one may also ask why invite the candidates to come to Abuja whereas this issue could simply have been transferred to us,” one source privy to the development was heard saying.

The APC House candidates it was gathered, were made to sign for N2 million but actually received N1.7 million with the N300,000 being described as handling charges.

An official of the party and member of the PCCC contacted on the issue did not respond to the issue when contacted by GWG.ng on Sunday by text message. He also did not pick his phone.
