PDP spent 400 billion NGN on the 2023 Electoral campaigns – Dino Melaye

The People’s Democratic Party presidential campaign council reportedly spent more than N400 billion on their campaigns, according to Senator Dino Melaye, the Atiku-Okowa presidential campaign council’s spokeswoman.

The spokesperson revealed this in a video on Monday night.

Melaye claimed that the entire idea of revamping the naira was a ruse in the one minute, 45 second video.

This occurs just hours after the PDP leadership, led by Senator Iyorchia Ayu, stormed the INES offices in protest over the announcement that Bola Tinubu, the presidential nominee of the All Progressives Congress, would be the next president following the elections on February 25, 2023.

The PDP, Labour Party, and New Nigeria Peoples Party disputed the results, claiming that the poll was tainted by violence, rigging, and lack of integrity due, among other things, to the failure to upload the presidential election results to the IRev portal in real time on Election Day.

The PDP also bemoaned what it called the irregularities observed during the election’s administration.

Melaye continued, “We spent nearly N400bn simply for a caricature show to ensure that the mandate of the people given freely to Atiku Abubakar is retrieved. Nigerians were duped by INEC.

On the redesign of the naira, the spokesperson claimed that “Bola Tinubu received money, which allowed the APC to distribute new notes on Election Day across the nation while starving the PDP of funding. Nigerians were duped by INEC’s scheme to redesign the naira.

He also urged all PDP followers and supporters of democracy across the nation to prevent this from standing.
