The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Imo State and the party’s National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, seems not to be on the same page, concerning payment of salaries of the staff of the party in the State.
Anyanwu had visited the party at its Okigwe road, Owerri, State Secretariat last week.
Days after his visit, his media aide issued a statement assuring of Anyanwu’s commitment to clear one year salary arrears of staffs of the party.
In a swift reaction, the State Secretary of Imo PDP, Ray Emeana, in a statement on Wednesday, said the party is not owing one year salaries to its staff.
The party described as “mischievous, malicious, unacceptable and totally false the story making the rounds, that our party is owing one year salary arrears to our staff”
It described the report as fake news
“The impression which the fake news seeks to create is that such contributions have not been managed in a transparent and accountable manner by the State Working Committee (SWC), hence the nonpayment of staff salaries.
“Imo PDP, while insisting that the fake news is a scathing attack on the integrity of the SWC which stands totally condemned, also frowns at the fact that the source of such anti-party story has been traced to a media aide to the National Secretary of the Party, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, which signed and issued a press release to that effect” part of the statement read
