PDP planning to transfer large sum of money to INEC Chairman’s account, APC alleges

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of planning to send huge
sums of money into the bank account of Attahiru Jega, the
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) in a bid to discredit him.
The opposition party claims that the transfers would be
made in order to justify sacking Jega.
This was disclosed by the National Publicity Secretary of
the APC, Lai Mohammed via a statement.
“There is a plot to transfer a humongous amount of money
into the bank account of the INEC chairman, Prof Attahiru
Jega and then claim that the money came from Asiwaju
Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC, in order to justify the on-
going plan to sack Prof Jega so he won’t organise the
elections,” Mohammed said.
“Beyond Jega, there is also a plan to credit the bank
accounts of some key national institutions with huge
amounts of money, purportedly from our party, the APC,
ostensibly to compromise those institutions,” he added.
Rumours of Jega’s proposed sack have been rampant
since the postponement of the general elections in
February.
President Goodluck Jonathan has however said that Jega
could only be removed if he did something wrong.
