APC chairman mulls probe of Buhari House, insists on total loyalty of NWC members

Probe of the finances of Buhari House, the All Progressives Congress (APC) national secretariat, appears imminent as new national Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu dropped the hint on Friday.

The former Nasarawa State Governor gave indication of his intention to unearth the financial status of the ruling party shortly after receiving Certificate of Return from the Jigawa State Governor and Chairman of APC National Convention Election Committee, Abubakar Badaru.

Senator Adamu said a decision would be taken after the transition committee must have submitted its report.

He said: “As for you the Director of Administration, you have no hiding place.

“We will count on your loyalty to the party. It is in God’s pleasure that we are here at the helm of affairs of this party.

“We’ve come with a very very open mind but you have to reciprocate in same spirit.

‘We will definitely by the will of God Almighty. The Secretariat, we need to look at you but I am not saying anything today until the transition committee submits its report.

“It is my hope that by the time the report is submitted, you have what they call clean bill of ledge(sic); that’s my prayer. Right? My sister knows what I’m talking about.”

The APC national chairman also advised other national officers of the party to show full loyalty to his leadership at all times.
