Tinubu Campaign Director Submits Expenses Report Returns ‘Undisbursed’ N2.4m

Prince Ade Omole, the director of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council’s Diaspora Directorate, has returned N2.4 million to the PCC fund.
In preparation for the 2023 presidential election, the diaspora team received the remaining N10 million from the original campaign finance distribution.

Omole, who made this disclosure in a statement released in Abuja, said that his directorate also filed a 22-page campaign report and an eight-page spending file with a breakdown of the costs incurred.

While stating that the documents were handed over to the Deputy Secretary of the Presidential Campaign Council, Christopher Tarka, the diaspora director further explained that the documentation detailed their activities during the campaign season and in the build-up to the poll.
Omole also thanked the leadership of the PCC on behalf of the diaspora directorate for the opportunity to serve the ‘party and country.’
He said, “Importantly, the Diaspora Directorate received only N10million during the campaign phase. The sum was allocated for Diaspora Directorate members’ transportation but only N7.6 million was disbursed while the balance has been refunded accordingly.”

Reacting to the gesture, Tarka applauded Omole and his team for their forthright leadership, accountability, transparency and contribution to Tinubu’s victory.
Tarka also disclosed that he was amazed by the action of the diaspora team because it was unusual to hear campaign directors of political parties returning undisbursed funds.

“Campaign sub-committees usually do not return the money but you have, again, blazed the trail. This directorate took Tinubuism and APC’s Action Plan to the world and donated several campaign souvenirs worth millions of naira from Nigerians across the globe,” he said.

He also recalled that while a number of campaign directorates kept complaining about inadequate funding (and rightly so), the diaspora team has been prudent with their expenses right from day one until the end of the campaign.
