As the 2023 election approaches, Anslem Eragbe, the suspended National Youth Leader of the Labour Party, has demanded a N10 million refund from the party being payment for the development of the party’s National Mobilisation website.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Eragbe’s demand was contained in a letter he addressed to the party’s presidential flag-bearer, Peter Obi; the Vice-Presidential candidate, Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed; National Chairman, Julius Abure; the Labour Party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and members of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
His letter reads: “I wish to request that only N10m be paid to me to offset initial debt incurred for the development of the Labour Party National Mobilisation website.
“You will recall that Labour Party did not mobilise me as the National Youth Leader of Labour Party till today for this website development save for the “out-of-pocket” allowance of one million naira (N1,000,000) only as the National Youth Leader of Labour Party for my official activities.
“I hereby attach some evidence of the over N5m receipts of debt owed to online financial platform institutions to the effect of my demand for payment for the website development to enable me to pay off these embarrassing debts.”
