PDP Urges Probe Into Alleged N12.75bn Osun LG Funds Payment Scandal

The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called for a probe into an alleged attempt to pay out N12.75 billion of local government funds as legal fees. The PDP accused the sacked APC chairman of orchestrating the payment, urging the Police and EFCC to investigate the matter.

The leaked letter instructed a bank to transfer funds to a law firm, raising concerns about financial mismanagement. The PDP emphasized the illegality of the directive and highlighted the need for transparency in handling public funds.
