Wadata Plaza,
Abuja.
Your Excellency,
RETURN OF THIRTY-SIX MILLION NAIRA (N36,000,000.00) HOUSING ALLOWANCE PAID INTO MY ACCOUNT
I observed a malicious story reported in the Nations Newspaper of 26th September, 2022; where it was alleged that members of the National Working Committee were offered humongous amount of money to silent us over an allegation of financial misappropriation to the tune of Fifteen Billion Naira (N15,000,000,000.00).

This led me to browse through my various alerts, and I discovered a transfer of Thirty-Six Million Naira (N36,000,000.00) from the Party.
I have my reservation about this money transferred into my account and for personal reasons wish to return it accordingly.
Kindly confirm the receipt of UBA Electronic Transfer of the Thirty-Six Million Naira (N36,000,000.00) attached herewith.
Yours faithfully,
Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja
DNC South.
