Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it is not accountable to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).<\/p>\n

It said this in reaction to an invitation by the anti-graft agency after a member of the party, Kasim Afegbua, petitioned the EFCC.<\/p>\n

Sen. Walid Jubrin, Chairman, PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), said this while speaking with newsmen at the end of the board\u2019s meeting in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He said the party is only accountable to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).<\/p>\n

\u201cINEC is the regulatory organ for all political parties and the PDP is inclusive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PDP account has been audited by a reputable chattered firm and the report is with INEC and the body has not raised any objection,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jubrin insisted it is constitutionally wrong for EFCC to intervene in an issue that is purely that of political parties.<\/p>\n

Jubrin also reacted to the defection of Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State to the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is annoying. Ayade is someone who has benefited for five years from PDP and he is talking of going to another party\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Jubrin announced that the PDP would organise a mega rally in Calabar, the state capital, to show it was still in control of the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
