Olaoluwa Folalu
The All Progressive Congress (APC) has debunked a report that December salaries of its staff were yet to be paid.
In a press release titled “Re: Payment of APC staff salaries”, the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, stated that: “The attention of the APC has been drawn to a false report published in some national Newspapers on Wednesday, December 23, 2015, alleging that employees of the party have not been paid salaries for December.
“The report and the allegations made are false. APC employees have not only been paid their December salary, food items have also been distributed to all APC employees to mark Eid-El-Maulud and Christmas celebrations respectively.
“APC does not toy with the salaries and general welfare of its employees. The operations of the APC National Secretariat are in strict adherence to the Change Agenda of the party.
“The APC does not indulge in the practice of obtaining funds from state governments or diverting security votes to fund party activities. The media is encouraged to cross-check facts before publishing.”
Oyegun also greeted Muslims as they commemorate the birth of Prophet.
He urged all Nigerians to collectively reflect on the virtues and ideals which the founder of Islam exemplified and taught.
Oyegun enjoined Nigerians to imbibe the teachings of Muhammad, which were anchored on love, peaceful coexistence and harmony.
