I can categorically state here that since this year, our PG , has not handled anything concerning money or our finance,” .

According to him, “Our PG doesn’t handle money ,It’s my office as the Secretary General , ,the Financial Secretary and the treasurer  that are handling the finances since this year.All money and funds are paid into the treasurer’s account and the reason is because we just merged the hitherto factions  ,Again,  we have not formalized the account that we have been using before now”.

Prince Kalu stressed that any circulating reports suggesting otherwise constitute “fake news” and urged community members to consult official channels for accurate information.
