The APC has failed to refund the aspirants who stepped down at the national convention on March 26, 2022.
This was despite a promise by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), that aspirants who step down for endorsed candidates would be refunded.
An aspirant for the position of Deputy National Chairman, Mr. Sunny Moniedafe, also confirmed that he had not been refunded.
“I have not received a refund from the party. I am still waiting for my N10m which is only a tiny portion of the money I spent on the race,” Moniedafe stated.
A chairmanship aspirant who also wished to remain anonymous said that his N20m had not been returned.
“After the party forced us to step down, they still refused to refund the money. It is not that I cannot forgo the N20m but I want to distribute it to some of my supporters,” he said.
The governing All Progressives Congress has assured aspirants—who honoured its consensus.
However, it was learnt that an internal audit being carried out by the Transition Committee of the party might partly be responsible for the delay in refunds
