National Chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Uche Secondus, has challenged the Minister of Culture and Information Alhaji Lai Mohammed to be ready to prove his allegation that the he collected N200m from the purse of the National Security Adviser (NSA).
Secondus gave the threat in a statement issued by his spokesman, Mr. Ike Abonyi, on Friday in Abuja.
The PDP Chairman said his attention was drawn to a press conference addressed by Mohammed on March 30 in Lagos claiming that he (Secondus) collected N200m from the office of the former NSA.
Secondus is challenging Mohammed to be ready to establish his allegations in court immediately.
He said that the agenda of the minister was to damage his reputation and distract him from serving PDP.
He said such agenda would fail woefully.
