Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has revealed that the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) under his leadership inherited a debt burden of N8.9 billion.

Ganduje made the disclosure in Abuja during the ongoing National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party attended by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, state governors, and other bigwigs.

He attributed the financial liabilities to expenses incurred during pre-election legal battles, election-related cases, and appeals for legislative, governorship, and presidential elections.

“The current NWC inherited debts and legal liabilities to the total tune of N8,987,874,663, arising from various legal engagements,” he stated.

Ganduje noted that Abdul Kareem Kana, the party’s national legal adviser, has been making efforts to reduce the financial burden.

“We still passionately appeal to the National Executive Committee to intervene accordingly,” he pleaded.
